Abstract
In this study (N = 495), dating apps were conceptualized as digital leks. We examined how interpersonal (narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy), sexual (sociosexual attitudes, desires, and behavior), and search (satisficing, alternatives) styles relate to mating success through dating apps (dates and sex). Individuals with a faster life history strategy, particularly men high in psychopathy and sexual desires, report more mating success via dating apps. Women who were easier satisficed also experienced more Tinder-sex. These findings clarify the nuanced roles of sociosexuality facets in dating app success, enriching the discourse on digital mating behaviors. Using the life history framework, this research advances our understanding of how personality shapes real-world mating outcomes that originate in digital contexts.
