ABSTRACT

Mate selection criteria are an important subject reflecting human social behavior, which has changed significantly in the passage of time and the evolution of social culture. From the perspective of evolutionary psychology, the difference between men and women in mate preferences stems from the biological reproductive needs: men tend to choose young and healthy women to ensure the fertility of their offspring, while women value the partner's resource ability to guarantee the support of their children. However, biological factors do not fully explain this process, and social culture also plays a key role in it. In traditional societies, the norms of gender roles influence the mate selection criteria, making men prefer virtuous family women, while women prefer economically competent men. With the development of modern society, gender roles gradually blurred, and women's economic and social status rose, making them pay more attention to psychological needs such as emotional communication and interest consistency; men also pay more attention to female independence and personality. The concept of individualism and gender equality in modern society further promotes the diversification of mate selection criteria, and emotional fit and personalized needs have gradually become important factors, reflecting the society's identification of individual autonomy and emotional needs.
