I had a great time at HBES 2025 @humbehevosoc.bsky.social! I presented my work on a method we developed that allows us to predict who people will choose as partners 3 months into the futureβ€”participants chose romantic partners on their own, in their own mating marketsβ€”with zero intervention from us!

The function of love: A signaling-to-alternatives account of the commitment device hypothesis Love is commonly hypothesized to function as an evolved commitment device, disincentivizing the pursuit of romantic alternatives and signaling this mo…

🚨New paper! I tackle a confound in mate preference research: Are preferences & standards driven by one's own sex or target sex? Two studies show preferences are (mostly) driven by own sex, but overall standards are driven by target sex. Full paper: doi.org/10.1177/0956... #MatePreferences #Research
