Abstract
In 128 unmarried heterosexual undergraduate men, we examined mate-preferences in relation to self-perceived mate-value. High mate-value men viewed more indispensable mates who are sociable, desire children, are high social status, good looking, ambitious, and are mutually attracted to them. Men calibrate their mate-preferences based upon assessment of their own mate-value.
