    Depending on the which gender does the initiation; the result is either male optimal (males get the best he can get, females gets the worst among those she would tolerate) or female optimal. I wonder which version this one is.

      The article also mentioned that, but I don’t understand it. Receivers are also making choices, so why do they end up with the worst match?

        You have to accept the best offer you get, if there's someone that you would like, you only match with them if all their better options are exhausted.
