New European research has found that despite the change in times, men and women all around the world still look for the same things when seeking a partner that they did three decades ago.

Carried out by researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, the new study asked 14,399 heterosexual participants from 45 different countries to investigate how people select their partners.
