The last 2 lines of my previous post were not the actual

explanation of that section. I apologize for the error.

(I should’ve realized that the latter part of a statement shouldn’t be

able to stand alone, with the first part merely referring to it…)

[D]ata revealed no [gender] differences in the associations between participants’ romantic interest in real-life potential partners (met during and outside of speed dating) and the attractiveness and earning prospects of those partners.

That is: When they looked at whether interest in someone after meeting them matched up with the looks and earning potential of the people in question (that is, did people who were more attractive and/or had higher-earning-ability get more interest from the people they met), they did not find that either gender tended to be more interested in those individuals than the other gender . (In other words, they did not find a greater correlation between the interest of the studied men in the women they had met and the attractiveness of those women than they found

between the interest of the studied women in the men they had met

and the attractiveness of those men.)
