Do men and women actually have different preferences for their partner's skill sets? What role does complementarity play?
What will be an ideal response?
Men and women differ in their partner preferences based on whether they believe they will be expected to be the primary breadwinner in the couple or the homemaker. Results show that a person who expects to be the breadwinner (whether they are male or female), would prefer a partner who was skilled at tasks associated with a homemaker role. Individuals who expected to be the homemaker preferred partners who were skilled and employable. However, there were still some gender differences such that men preferred younger mates and women preferred older mates and those who would be good providers (even when they were to be providers themselves).
