From Criteria to Date to Criteria to Marry

Who would have every thought that dating to marry has become a game of weighing the physical, the mental and the money. There
are three criteria that singles between the ages of 34 to 46 may set for themselves influencing their expectations, likes, and dislikes
during dating and once making the decision to marry. The three areas are intelligence, physical look and finances.
Once taught in school that IQ measured intelligence, then learned it was quackery along side of phrenology, Ethiopian Jewish scored
the highest, and then the fMRI localizing functions of mental capacity. None serves as the criteria one sets for an intelligent man or
woman to date and marry. One couldn’t take a date on an fMRI test, no real test anyway. What really is wanted is a sense of
understanding, an ability to listen, seemingly compassionate, or empathizing. An fMRI of empathizing mental capacity or integrity,
would that suffice to weigh intelligence. Even that was a test of sympathizing capacity not empathize, it was a mislabeled fMRI,
confusion in words- perceiving our date, our partner to be condescending, not genuinely compassionate. The ability to adapt is really
what people are weighing in about intelligence.
Younger man or woman, ratio between hip and waste, chest and hip, upper lip to chin, big or small eyes, curvy or petite, tall, medium
or short are all displays of some primordial fear embedded in the criteria we set. Is the person going to be more attractive to someone
else or someone more attractive that we could miss up on in the future. No, it really comes to that simple fact, feelings of security that
the attractiveness will not make him or her cheat, be polygamous or polyandrous. After all anyone can be made to look attractive in
less than 6 months. Therefore, Monogamy is really what people are weighing in about attractiveness.
In this day and age, when faced with difficulty in weighing the criteria for physical looks and mental intelligence, many are looking into
financial capacity. Now with the economy up and down, the financial criteria has caused further confusion. Once meaningful
relationships were valued when financially secure, now with the fear of economy and natural resources at danger, the weight placed
on dating and marrying rich or poor seem to be in shambles. Ability to cooperate to jointly make it economically may be what people
are looking for.

| Prevention Women were observed interacting with strange men under low or high influence of alcohol; women who had consumed more alcohol, as opposed to less, showed more 'open body position', talking, standing, walking and frowning- giving the signal of intoxication or interest in sex. Frowning also signals discomfort and an 'animated' mixed message. Victims of Childhood Sexual Abuse, as opposed to non-victims, showed less head movements and nodding and more animated frowns- that may signal both anxiety - discomfort - vulnerability and sexual interest, increasing the risk for sexual assault. see Parks, K. A., Hequembourg, A. L., and Dearing, R. L. (2008). Women's Social Behavior When Meeting New Men: The Influence of Alcohol and Childhood Sexual Abuse. Psych of Woman Quarterly, 32(2), 145-158. One is more accurate in seeing and predicting males interest in females than female's interest in males during speed dating. see Place, S.S., Todd, P. M., Penke, L. M. and Asendorpf, J. B. (2008).
