It definitely lends credence to the notion that women care a great deal about looks and in some contexts even more than men.

Study: Very unattractive' women are more likely to be married than other women

The authors concluded that 'very unattractive' women were more likely to be married or cohabitating than merely unattractive or even average to good looking women, and their spouses tended to earn more than their better-looking female counterparts

They infer that intelligent men have a preference to marry or mate with very unattractive women

The analyses of the (data) showed that very unattractive women were significantly more likely to be married ...than unattractive women at 29,, and their spouses or cohabitation partners earned significantly more than those of unattractive or average-looking women

Studies: Women are less likely to use a condom with a more attractive male partner

The more attractive a man was judged to be, the less likely women were to intend to use a condom during sex (r = -0.552, p = 0.007)

The more attractive a participant judged herself to be, the more she believed that, overall, men are likely to have a STD (πŸ˜‚)

Women showed significantly higher condom use intentions with: men who they rated as less attractive (p < 0.0005), men who they rated as less likely to carry or transmit an STI (p < 0.0005), men with whom they were less interested in having sex (p < 0.0005) and when they estimated that fewer of their peers would also have condomless sex with him (p < 0.0005).

Women showed significantly higher condom use intentions with: men who they rated as less attractive

This result was surprising when we considered that these same women also judged that a greater number of women like themselves would also be willing to have condomless sex with these men

Study: Women are happiest with their partner's heights when they are 8.24" inches taller than them

The researchers analyzed the data of the participants in relationships and found that women were most satisfied with their partner's heights when they were 8.24 inches (20.93 cm) taller than themselves, with men being the most satisfied with a partner 3.25 inches shorter (8.26 cm).

Partner height was much more important for explaining partner satisfaction for women then men, by more then four times the variance.

Women were much more restrictive in their range of acceptable heights compared to men. That is, women were more likely to rule out certain heights as completely unacceptable.

Study: Women bitterly reject unattractive men after facing rejection themselves by an attractive man, men do not do the same with women

It was found that as expected participants were likely to derogate the men who had been portrayed as rejecting them.

More interestingly, it was discovered that participants that were rejected by the attractive man were likely to derogate and reject the unattractive man; even when he was depicted as being accepting towards them.

The researchers suggested that this revealed an attempt by the participants to lessen the social impact of rejection by a desirable mate, by derogating and thus asserting one's superiority towards a man seen as 'lesser' than oneself.

The opposite situation was not found, rejection by the unattractive man had no effect on the women's acceptance towards the attractive man.

Study: High ranking women are less generous toward same sex subordinates than men

Across all three studies, high status males invested more than high status females in cooperative partners, suggesting that high status males intuitively evaluate sharing rewards with same-sex partners as more beneficial.

Study: Women report greater levels of incivility at work from other women

Results indicate that women report experiencing more incivility from other women than from men, with this effect being amplified for women who are more agentic at work.

Further, agentic women who experience increased female-instigated incivility from their coworkers report lower well-being (job satisfaction, psychological vitality) and increased work withdrawal (turnover intentions).

Study: Women report lower job satisfaction working under a female boss, men don't

We provide previously undocumented evidence that women are less satisfied with their jobs when they have a female boss

In two US datasets, female job satisfaction is lower under female supervision.

Male job satisfaction is unaffected by the gender of the boss.

The results remain after controlling for a host of relevant observable factors.

Notably the results also persist after controlling for worker-in-job fixed effects.

Women far more often prefer people, men prefer things, and it’s extremely innate, biological

Studies: Women are naturally more interested in people than men

Some of the largest sex differences can be found in the dimensions of interest in things as opposed to people

This preference is already present in toddlers, and it is largely determined by the presence of prenatal androgens

Girls with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) who were exposed to high levels of androgen in the prenatal and early postnatal periods showed increased play with boys' toys and reduced play with girls' toys compared with their unexposed female relatives at ages 3 to 8

A meta study showed that the sex difference in interest in playing with dolls during childhood is very large, around d = 4.0

Studies: Overall sex differences in personality are very large

We found a global effect size Dβ€Š=β€Š2.71, corresponding to an overlap of only 10% between the male and female distributions

Even excluding the factor showing the largest [dimension that is sensitivity], the global effect size was Dβ€Š=β€Š1.71 (24% overlap).

These are extremely large differences by psychological standards.

Studies: In hunter-gatherers, men used meat to obtain mating opportunities and to invest in mates and offspring

In all societies studied, the men produced much more meat and used it to gain mating opportunities and to invest in mates and the offspring

This investment in parenting likely depended on their paternity confidence
