The Match.com survey is the the nation's largest and most comprehensive annual scientific study. This is not a random survey that pops up in the app. It is a highly technical survey outsourced to third party experts in researching human behavior and analyzing it.

The sample size was 5k people. I edit adacemic research papers for a living. That sample size is extraodrinary. It was cuducted by renowned anthropologist Dr. Helen Fisher and evolutionary biologist Dr. Justin Garcia of The Kinsey Institute at Indiana University. Two people that know FAR MORE about behavior and biology than you do. So, I would take thier research over your "feelings" all day and twice on Sunday.

Here is the link to the 425-page dataset. 425 pages of data. That is a veritable mountain. https://www.singlesinamerica.com/download/SIA2021_Codebook.pdf

But no, overbearing white dude, tell me more how you know everything about this topic. And, can you mansplain it just a little slower.
