> I do think that the problem with most surveys is that there will certainly be biases in self-reported answers.

Yeah and it's very typical with this question especially. You can't ask a woman what she values in a partner, because she will say whatever makes her look like a good person.

That's why so many girls list intelligence as an important thing in a man, and still the most intelligent guys get the least girls.

You need to look at how women actually choose their partners, not ask them how they would hypothetically choose. Look at the men that always have hot girlfriends and what they have in common, that's how you can make an empirical conclusion.

This is actually how you feed your confirmation bias, please be careful as a lot of the language you are using makes me worry about you.

There are many explanations for the phenomenon of dating, but your comment reads like a textbook example of someone looking to confirm beliefs.

Why couldn’t attractiveness simply be a cross product of money and physical activity level? In that case, hot people end up together due to economics and interests.
