Answer: Men and women are more similar in their preferences for long-term than short-term partners. For short (e.g., a date or a one-night stand), men have relatively low minimum standards for intelligence compared to women, but for long-term relationships they are more similar with respect to intelligence. More generally, there are differences in terms of physical and other preferences.
With regard to physical characteristics, some differences are: female preferencesmedium nose; large jaw; symmetrical appearance; male preferenceslow waist-to-hip ratio; shiny, lustrous hair; large eyes; small nose.
With regard to other features, some differences are: females tend to prefer men with status and resources, or the potential to gain resources; males tend to prefer women who are of child-bearing age (particular in their 20s) who appear fertile and healthy.
