Lesbian Participants Wanted: Dating & Attraction Study (18+)
Hi everyone! 😊
I'm a PhD researcher at James Cook University in Australia and I'm looking for lesbian women aged 18 years and over to take part in an anonymous online study exploring attraction, dating preferences, and how people evaluate potential romantic partners.
This study forms part of a broader research program examining whether theories of attraction, many of which were originally developed using predominantly heterosexual participants, also apply to LGBTQIA+ communities. The goal is to help build a more representative evidence base in this area.
The survey takes around 5–10 minutes to complete and involves viewing a series of fictional dating profiles before answering questions about attraction and relationship preferences.
Although the research is based in Australia, we're recruiting internationally, and I'd love to have lesbian women from Europe represented.
The study has received ethics approval from the James Cook University Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC Approval No. 25H-0225).
