A '''looksmatch''' is someone who is equal to another person on the [[decile scale]]. In other words, someone who is in the same percentile of [[physical attractiveness]] within their gender demographic as the other person is in their gender demographic.
== Matching hypothesis ==
The matching hypothesis suggested that people naturally prefer their looksmatch. However, Walster's computer [[dating]] study suggested otherwise, namely that only the looks of the potential partner predicts romantic interest, not how similar they are in looks.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPillScience/comments/8jqzp5/explaining_looksmatchism_among_the_average_most/</ref> Data from online dating suggests that [[men]] and [[women]] alike aim a bit higher than their own desirability, with few aiming excessively high.<ref>https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/advances/4/8/eaap9815.full.pdf</ref> This may imply that without enforced [[monogamy]], both men and women will lack pressure to settle for the "art of the possible", thus more people remain [[Celibates|single]].
