Although men and women differ in their attitudes toward casual sex, evolutionary psychologists point out the appeal of pairing to extend one's genetic lineage. What do men and women find attractive in the opposite sex? In a survey of over 10,000 people in 37 countries, David Buss and his researchers found that most women are looking for status and resources in a mate, whereas men are looking for homemaker qualities. In comparing the Buss data to U.N. reports on the status of women, Alice Eagly discovered that such differences tend to erode in cultures where there is more gender equality.
