Ugh, no access to article, so I'll just comment a little the abstract and the title. This study doesn't seem very generalizable. The samples for both studies examined are very, very small and will have tons of limitations (geographically especially). I'm also super hesitant to find merit with studies based on evolution: I like to believe we are more than our base instincts. As well, how might this apply to homosexual relationships? I feel this can be expanded to "people don't like to be valued for one part of themselves." Who wants to just be a living sex toy? On a similar vein, I wouldn't want to be in a relationship with someone who only likes me for my baking skills. I want you to like all of me, not just parts of me that benefit you.
