Intelligence and Kindness Are The Most Valued Traits in Romantic Partners

New research has come out, that should give anyone who’s looking for love, new hope in finding the one! New research has shown that regardless of sexual orientation, most people find that intelligence and kindness are the most important factors in finding a partner!

“The main takeaway of this study is that intelligence and kindness are the most desired traits of a partner, even in comparison to beauty, money or health. This is true for both men and women and across the sexual orientation spectrum – although heterosexual men do place a premium on their partner’s physical attractiveness.”

“Also, social status seems to be especially important for men’s appeal, since both heterosexual women and gay men valued this trait more in relation to other groups. Still, if you want to attract more potential partners, working on your brains and personality seems to be your best bet.”

The research did also find that there are variations in what certain people find most attractive based on gender, for instance, the majority of heterosexual men claimed that physical attractiveness was an important factor in choosing a partner, whereas for those attracted to men, women, homosexual men and bisexual people, socioeconomic status was of high importance.
