a) Men and women were equally and significantly more willing to date individuals who were at the highest salary level.
b) Women were more willing to date those at the highest salary levels, whereas salary was a less important variable for men.
c) Contrary to predictions from evolutionary theory, facial features were more powerful influences on willingness to date; salary had little influence for both sexes.
