Right Date interactive- long-term mate

The key variables that people look for when looking for long-term mates vary by gender. For men, a woman with a high production value would be considered a better mate than one with a high reproductive value (Buss & Schmitt, 1993). Men will also consider sexual inaccessibility. In other words, when looking for a long-term mate, men will not look for sexually accessible women like they do when looking for a short-term relationship. Men consider sexual accessibility, like promiscuity, the wrong trait for long-term mates.

For women, the primary trait is the man’s ability to provide. Even though the significance of this variable varies from one woman to another, it is something that every woman prioritizes. For instance, in the study, Zambian women value financial security more than Australian women (Buss & Schmitt, 1993). For both men and women, physical attraction was the first variable to be considered when seeking a long-term or short-term relationship (Sage, 2009). Similar likes and dislikes, like hobbies, were another factor considered when seeking a long-term mate.

It is difficult to predict the success of a relationship based on profiles. However, compatibility can help pick a suitable mate (Lucchi & Sacco, 2020). For example, in the Pick The Right Date interactive, it was evident that Deborah was John’s best mate because they have a lot in common, beginning with the number of children they want and their love for animals. These are vital interests that can determine the success of a relationship. Therefore, the long-term relationship can be identified by examining compatibility (Ha & Hampton, 2022). Compatible partners may have fewer conflicts and are likely to enjoy doing things together. Compatibility, therefore, acts as a foundation for the relationship, which may mean it may be a success and thus may last.
