Hi everyone! 👋

I'm a PhD researcher at James Cook University in Australia studying attraction, dating preferences, and how people evaluate potential romantic partners.

I'm looking for heterosexual, gay, and lesbian adults (18+) to complete an anonymous online survey. 

The survey involves viewing a series of fictional dating profiles and answering questions about attraction and short- and long-term relationship interest. It takes around 5–10 minutes to complete, is completely anonymous, and participation is entirely voluntary.

Given that this community is all about dating, relationships, and navigating what we're looking for in potential partners, I'd really love to have people from here represented in the research.

Although this phase of the research is limited to heterosexual, gay, and lesbian participants, it forms part of a broader research program that has included, and will continue to include, people of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities.

This study forms part of my Doctor of Philosophy research at James Cook University and has received approval from the James Cook University Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC Approval No. 25H-0225).

If you have any questions, feel free to comment below or contact me at [kaitlyn.gregory@my.jcu.edu.au](mailto:kaitlyn.gregory@my.jcu.edu.au).

If you'd like to participate, you can complete the survey here:

Thank you so much to anyone who takes part! 😊
