===<span style="font-family:'Linux Libertine, Georgia, Times, serif'; font-size:24px; font-weight: normal;">All women view the bodies of "strong looking men" as more attractive then those with weaker bodies</span>=== | |||
---- | |||
Two studies by Sell,Lukazsweski and Townsley (2017) examining the preferences of 100 young female raters, found a very strong (r=0.80) correlation between bodily attractiveness and rated physical strength. Furthermore, they discovered "we found no evidence of the inverted-U hypothesis(i.e that there is a level of musculature/physicality that 'too much' to be attractive); rather, in both samples, the strongest men were the most attractive, and the weakest men were the least attractive". | |||
The authors of the study also found that "(The data was) examined to see if any women in our samples showed a significant preference for weaker men. They did not. None of the 160 women in our study who rated attractiveness produced a statistically significant preference for weaker men (all p > 0.05) ... In other words, we could find no evidence that there exists a sizeable population of women who prefer physically weaker men when evaluating male bodies." | |||
Other findings of the two studies were: | |||
<span style="font-size:125%></span> | |||
* ''Ratings of strength are a robust and much larger predictor of bodily attractiveness than either height or weight.'' | |||
* ''Height is attractive even independent of making a man look strong. Controlling for how strong a man actually looks, raters still classify taller men as more attractive in two of the three samples.'' | |||
* ''Weight is unattractive after controlling for how strong a man looks...this is consistent with the hypothesis that women's mate choice mechanisms respond to muscle mass positively but large stores of body fat negatively.'' | |||
* ''Height, weight and ratings of strength collectively account for approximately 80% of the variance in male bodily attractiveness.'' | |||
