In your experience, when has mass media influenced your dating and mating decisions? Do you like big butts because media told you to?
Media is often accused of causing body image problems in women, but, for example, do women who do not obey the dictates of mass media actually do worse in courtship? This also needs to be disentangled from, media feeds us what we already want to see.
Can we measure the question from an opposite direction: correlating mass media with demographic mating statistics? Perhaps a popular TV show causing a measurable change only while the show aired.
