Old habits die hard with dating

When it comes to choosing a partner, it seems that we are little more evolved than early cave-men, a new study suggests.
Researchers from Indiana University examined 46 people as they took part in a session of speed-dating.
According to study leader, psychologist Peter Todd, speed-dating is a good indicator of the initial stages of the mating process.
It was discovers that men tended to make their choices based on a woman's physical attractiveness, whereas women opted for men who could offer them financial security.
To put it simply, men go for beauty and women seek wealth in a potential partner, according to the study.
"While humans may pride themselves on being highly evolved, most still behave like the stereotypical Neanderthals when it comes to choosing a mate," said Todd.
"Evolutionary theories in psychology suggest that men and women should trade off different traits in each other and when we look at the actual choices people make, this is what we find evidence for."
