\n New dating data is making a case for the bemoaned \u201cblind date.\u201d<\/p>\n

People who believe they have a \u201ctype\u201d are fooling themselves, according to social<\/a> psychology researchers who say that singles \u201cmight as well let a stranger pick their dates.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is because most people are looking for more general<\/a> positive qualities in a love interest, such as \u201ckind\u201d and \u201cintelligent\u201d personalities, the researchers from University of California, Davis, write. These qualities could be present regardless of whether a match falls in line with someone\u2019s type.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people in our study could very easily list their top-three attributes in an ideal partner,\u201d said lead author Jehan Sparks, whose study app<\/a>ears in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology.<\/p>\n

But, \u201cwe wanted to see whether those top-three attributes really mattered for the person who listed them,\u201d she said in a statement. \u201cAs it turns out, they didn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

Their survey of more than 700 men and women asked them to name their top-three favorite traits in a romantic match, such as \u201cfunny\u201d or \u201cintelligent.\u201d They were then told to rate the attractiveness of some of their acquaintances based on whether they possessed those traits. Then, they were asked to evaluate whether they were still attracted to those acquaintances on the basis of a total stranger\u2019s desired traits, such as \u201cthoughtful\u201d and \u201cdown to earth.\u201d<\/p>\n

They found that you were just as interested in the acquaintances that fit someone else\u2019s criteria, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo in the end, we want partners who have positive qualities, but the qualities you specifically list do not actually have special predictive power for you,\u201d said Sparks.<\/p>\n

Researchers explained their experiment in everyday terms \u2014 from the perspective of ordering food at a restaurant.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy do we order off the menu for ourselves?\u201d said study co-author professor Paul Eastwick of UC Davis. \u201cBecause it seems obvious that I will like what I get to pick.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur findings suggest that, in the romantic domain, you might as well let a random stranger order for you,\u201d he said. \u201cYou\u2019re just as likely to end up liking what you get.\u201d<\/p>\n

The research indicates that the complex algorithms that match online dating users may be a waste of time. A scientifically backed alternative to finding love online could be apps that rely on a friend or relative to suggest partners, such as Ship, which asks users\u2019 pals to nominate matches on their behalf.<\/p>\n

However, the researchers\u2019 assessment does not apply to exceedingly picky people, who maintain strict standards for physical or mental characteristics.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really easy to spend time hunting around for someone who seems to match your ideals,\u201d said Sparks, no relation to our writer. \u201cBut our research suggests an alternative approach \u2014 don\u2019t be too picky ahead of time about whether a partner matches your ideals on paper.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOr even better, let your friends pick dates for you,\u201d she said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
