泄愤来了~~

One is a vastly greater choice of potential partners.  一个是更为优质的伴侣人选。
The greater choice is unarguable.  人选更优质这点无可辩驳。
这两处应该是说可供选择的人数大大增加

deliver the goods in ways that traditional courtship (or, at least, flirtation) cannot manage?
它能办到的传统追求方式（或者说调情方式）所办不到的吗？
deliver the goods 我觉得是有实义的

Psychological Science in the Public Interest 《公共兴趣的心理学》
Public Interest 似是公众利益

Dr Finkel and his colleagues cast a sceptical eye over the whole multi-billion-dollar online dating industry
芬克尔博士和他的同事们对整个价值数十亿美元的在线婚配行业持怀疑态度

is that this is a good thing—that those with compatible personalities make more successful couples than those without.

this is a good thing和with compatible personalities make more successful couples than those without是并列成分，我觉得不宜加因为

as many as未表现出来

The crucial assumption here, of course, is that what people think they want is what they actually need. That, it is true, is an assumption behind all consumer decisions.

assumption应是前提假设

people’s stated preferences at the beginning of the process do not well match the characters of the individuals they actually like.
人们在初期表现出来的一定偏好是和自己实际性格相悖的。
the characters of the individuals they actually like.是和自己喜欢的人的性格相悖

a dozen bonbons, or a dozen bottles, are easier to pick between than 30 or 40.
六颗糖果的包装或者一打饮料的包装很容易就能卖掉30或者40个。
意思是在六种或十二种中选择要比在三四十种中选择来的容易
