The study didn't actually look at men's preferences, though that would have added an interesting spin. I had never really thought about the behavioral side before, but it certainly seems as though it could have a sexual selection background. I haven't been able to find any studies related to behavioral preferences in terms of matching to fathers/ mothers, but that would be so cool. I wonder which would have more importance-- physical matching or behavioral matching? My first guess might be physical matching because so much is decided on appearances. Though, maybe, in recent years behavioral matching has increased in importance because physical appearances can be changed so much that they may not be an 'honest' reflection of a person's genes?

There has always been that cultural saying that men look for women who most ACT like their mothers, not necessarily look like their mothers. Could it be that women are actual picking mates according to two factors. On the physical front using the self-matching theory that you suggested earlier, while also selecting a mate based on similar behaviors exhibited that coincide with the behaviors of their father. Are there any studies in regards to this? Did the study find the same result for men?
