Once we have our desirability scores, we can use them to identify
characteristics of desirable users by comparing scores against various
user attributes. As shown in Fig. 2, for instance, average desirability
varies with age for both men and women, although it varies more
strongly for women, and the effects run in opposite directions: Older
women are less desirable, while older men are more so (18, 19). For
women, this pattern holds over the full range of ages on the site: The
average woman’s desirability drops from the time she is 18 until she is
60. For men, desirability peaks around 50 and then declines. In keeping
with previous work, there is also a clear and consistent dependence on
ethnicity (15, 20), with Asian women and white men being the most
desirable potential mates by our measures across all four cities. The final
panels in the figure show how desirability varies with educational level.
Desirability is associated with education most strongly for men, for
whom more education is always more desirable. For women, an under-
graduate degree is most desirable (13); postgraduate education is asso-
ciated with decreased desirability among women. These measurements
control for age, so the latter observation is not a result of women with
postgraduate degrees being older (table S2).

This is only one of countless studies finding the same exact thing. Which does not even need to be said because it is easily observable anyway.
