Resumen
In this paper I examine the causal impact of having a girlfriend on academic
performance. Using cross-sectional data from surveys to Universidad de San
Andrés male students from second to fourth year I found some evidence that being
involved in a relationship improves academic performance, although results are
not always statistically significant. The instruments were selected using students’
physical characteristics based on evolutionary and mate selection theories.
