| Question | Answer |
| How many samples did females express a higher value for good financial prospects? | 36/37, sole exception Spain which was not significant. Variation on preference to this, generally Western European samples rated it less than African, Asian and North American samples |
| Due to 36/37 samples of females preferring good earning prospects, Buss concluded.. | that the results support Trivers, in that women are more likely to look for cues related to resources. |
| The valuation of ambition and industriousness | 34/37 samples females voted higher than males, 29 of which the difference was statistically significant. Samples including South African Zulus men valued more than women- their job to build homes. |
| Low preference of ambition and industriousness | in samples including The Netherland, Great Britain and West Germany |
| males preferring younger females | true in all 37 samples, mean age difference for males was 2.66 years ideal age to marry was 27.49 years therefore ideal average age for women would be 24.83 years |
| 24.83 years for women is closest to.. | peak fertility age rather than peak reproductive age. therefore can conclude from this that men look for cues related to youth and physical attractiveness, supporting Williams |
| Females preferred mates who were older in.. | all of the samples, mean age diff 3.42 years, prefer to marry 25.39 years meaning ideal male age would be28.81 years |
| Samples where females preferred older mates most include | Zambia and Nigeria (polygynous systems) supporting Trivers as older men are more likely to have resources |
| samples valuing chastity | 23 samples males preferred it in their mates, including China, India, Taiwan, Israel and Iran while Western European samples valued it as unimportant and irrelevant. |
| samples who valued chastity suggests | males value the importance of paternal probability therefore supporting Daly et al |
| BUSS CONCLUDED | both males and females value characteristics suggesting we seek partners based on the evolutionary urge, however the issue of chastity suggests it's not all evolution. |
