Two studies by Sell,Lukazsweski and Townsley (2017) published by the Royal Society 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". | Two studies by Sell,Lukazsweski and Townsley (2017) published by the Royal Society examining the preferences of 100 young female raters, found a very strong (r=0.80) correlation between bodily attractiveness and rated physical strength.

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." | 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.
