Daniel Hamermesh argues that human capital matters in the love matching market that is dating. Turns out looks aren't the only thing we match, "we also supply personality and the ability to get ahead, both of which are valued by the labor market and thus by potential spouses."He adds that, "careful research shows that, compared with average-looking women, good-looking women marry guys with an extra year of education. Today, an extra year of education is associated with about an extra twelve percent annual earnings."
