👉 Free attachment style test: https://simon-eckert.com/bindung-selb... In this video, I present six research findings that fundamentally changed my perspective on dating: a large analysis of over 22,000 online dating profiles (including the effects of attractiveness, height, and weight), a comparison of online vs. offline appearance, how attractiveness influences later relationship satisfaction, the role of partner similarity versus individual characteristics (e.g., emotional stability and attachment style), socioeconomic influences such as income and education, and the massive age dynamics in online dating. In the video, I explain the most important findings, what they mean for your dating experience, and which factors are truly relevant when getting to know someone.
