Abstract
The relationships between various indicators of physical attractiveness (objective, self perception, and date's) and interpersonal attraction in the dating situation were examined in this study. Agreement between the various indicators of physical attractiveness was lower for males than for females. The most significant predictor of interpersonal attraction was the date's rating of his (her) partner's physical attractiveness.Keywords
