Episode 2914:
Dr. Lorne Campbell explores whether people's preferences for a romantic partner predict their actual relationship choices. Research shows that while preferences often align with descriptions or ideals, they don't consistently match who we are drawn to in real-life interactions. This gap in understanding offers a valuable opportunity for future studies, suggesting that romantic preferences may be less influential than we think in forming lasting relationships.

Quotes to ponder:
"People’s preferences for a romantic partner predict how much they like written descriptions of other people, but not how much they like actual people after meeting them."
"A study that uses self-reports of behavior as a proxy for actual behavior is only as informative as the existing knowledge of the association between the two."
"We know a lot about people’s preferences for future romantic partners, but we know very little about how these preferences influence people’s decisions to begin romantic relationships."
