The Ideal Husband
Science now might be able to explain women’s fascination with Brad Pitt’s face and George Clooney’s eyes. Women seem to(51)potential mates by how masculine their features are, new research shows. Men with square jaws and well-defined brow ridges are seen as good short-term partners,(52)those with more feminine traits such as a rounder face and fuller lips are perceived as better long-term mates.
In the study by Daniel Kruger at the US’s University of Michigan, 854 subjects viewed a series of(53)head shots that had been digitally changed to exaggerate or minimize masculine traits They then(54)questions about how they expected the men in the photos to behave.
Most participants said that those with more masculine features were(55)to be risky, competitive, and more apt to fight, challenge bosses, cheat on spouses and put less effort into parenting. Those with more feminine(56)were seen as good parents and husbands, hard workers and emotionally supportive mates.
But, despite all the negative characteristics, when asked who they would choose for a short-term relationship, women selected the more masculine(57)men. Brad and George, both chiseled jaws and well-defined brows, then would be good for a(58)romance, not for something longer.
The study was published in the December issue of the US journal Personal Relationships.
Kruger said that from an evolutionary perspective, this(59)sense. The key is testosterone, the hormone responsible(60)the development of masculine facial features and other sexual characteristics. It has been found to affect the body’s ability to fight disease: men with high levels of the hormone are typically(61)and healthy-traits women want to pass on to their children.
However, increased testosterone has also been linked to(62)and violence in relationships. So, these men(63)produce high quality offspring, but they don’t always make great parents or faithful mates, Kruger says.
The scientific community have(64)skepticism toward physiognomy, which links facial characteristics to certain behavioural traits. But Kruger argues that the research is a valuable tool for understanding mating strategies. And, of course, for explaining why Tony Leung and Takeshi Kanesshiro have millions of female(65). It might have to do with their genes. Or something to do with ours.
