Every claim below was made in this piece, quoted word for word and numbered in the order the piece makes them, so you can read it there rather than take our word for it. The sentence above each quote is our reading of the claim, not their wording. Each quote was checked against a stored copy of the page at build time; where the two differ, the quote is the fact.

  1. Our reading

    Focusing on looks and status as a dating strategy is pointless, even though looks and status do matter in mate selection

    Their wordsIt's not that looks and status don't matter, it's that focusing on looks and status as one's dating strategy is perfectly pointless.

  2. Our reading

    Their wordsWhether one does find a good spouse or not depends more on one's orientation towards actually building relationships, and whether they can identify non-trivial traits in a partner that would contribute to that.
