A DEMONSTRATION OF ASSORTATIVE MATING, OR
AN IDEA FOR AN AWKWARD DINNER PARTY
Imagine that you have just arrived at a party. As you walk in,
the host writes something on your forehead. He instructs you not
to look at the mirror or ask anyone about it. You look around the
room and see that the other men and women have numbers from
1 to 10 written on their foreheads. The host tells you that your
goal is to pair up with the highest-numbered person who is
willing to talk to you. Naturally, you walk up to a 10, but he or
she gives you one look and walks away. You then look for 9s or
8s and so on, until a 4 extends a hand to you and you go together
to get a drink.
This simple game describes the basic process of assortative
mating. When we play this game with potential romantic
partners in the real world, it is often the case that people with
high numbers find others with high numbers, medium numbers
match with their equivalents, and low numbers connect with
their likes. Each person has a value (in the party game, the value
is clearly written); the reactions we get from other people help
us figure out our position in the social hierarchy and find
someone who shares our general level of desirability.
