Hey Australians, what do you find sexy? That is a question researchers asked in a study on sexual attraction preferences, published in
PLOS ONE.
A team of researchers, led by Stephen Whyte from the Queensland University of Technology, surveyed 7000 Australians between 18 and 65 who used dating sites, asking how important three factors are in a potential partner: aesthetics, resources and personality.
Each of these factors were further split into categories.
“We asked participants to rate the importance of nine characteristics associated with sexual attraction – age, attractiveness, physical build/features; intelligence, education, income; trust, openness and emotional connection,” says Whyte.
