A study was conducted by Valentine et al.;(2014) utilizing a speed dating format, which consisted of young male and female subjects (n=159;78 young men and 81 young women) who weren't compensated in any way for their participation, and thus were participating in the study because they were "(looking for the) chance to find a real-life partner, suggesting the choices were primarily motivated by actual mating interests." | |||
The males in the study were rated by independent raters on the following metrics: | |||
* Dominance on a 7-point scale (unisex raters) | |||
* How aggressive would this person be if provoked? (unisex raters;1=not at all aggressive,7=very aggressive) | |||
* Facial adiposity (unisex raters;1=very underweight, 7=very overweight) | |||
* Attractiveness on a 7-point scale (female raters only.) | |||
* Inter-rater reliability was high for all four dimensions ([https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPillScience/comments/8csgjw/looks_ratings_101_nearly_all_studies_show_a/ Cronbachs Alpha] αs=.96, .91, .95, .89) | |||
The conclusions of the speed dating study thus conducted were: | |||
* There was a significant correlation between FWHR(Facial Width to Height Ratio) and perceived dominance (.38) | |||
* '''"The direct and indirect effects of fWHR combined explain 34% of the variance in women’s interest in short-term relationships"''' | |||
* When physical attractiveness is not entered into the model, perceived dominance mediates the relationship between fWHR and women’s interest in a short-term relationship, (r=.20, i.e there is evidence women prefer men they perceive as more dominant, independent from how physically attractive they find them) | |||
* The results are also consistent with the non-mutually exclusive explanation that women may be favoring dominant-looking men to gain protection in a short term context at the expense of having long-term investment (i.e the bodyguard hypothesis). | |||
* '''"Men with wide faces are not more physically attractive to women, but are preferred for short-term relationships and future dates." | |||

* ''Men with high fWHR were described to be more aggressive, more fearless & dominant, higher in psychopathy, and less likely to die from direct physical violence than narrower-faced males. '' | |||
* ''Wider faced men are more willing to cheat in order to increase their financial gains, more readily exploit the trust of others, and more often explicitly deceive their counterparts in a negotiation.'' | |||

===<span style="font-family:'Linux Libertine, Georgia, Times, serif'; font-size:24px; font-weight: normal;">Male facial phenotype determines dating perception and success</span>=== | |||
---- | |||
By morphing a man's photo from its most masculine form to its most androgenous, researchers were able to directly gauge how the masculinity affected women's sensations of "friendliness", being "enemy-like", and being "sexy". | |||
Sexiness and enemy-like characteristics both increased as masculinity increased, which is in keeping with other research finding women find aggressive, dark triad, or violent traits most sexually arousing. However, at a certain point of extreme masculinity, there was a decrease in the sexiness and only a rise in the enemy-like perception. | |||
On the other end of the spectrum, the less masculine a male face was, the more likely it was to be perceived as a "friend" and less sexy or enemy-like. | |||
Thus one's propensity for being judged by women as a short term partner, long term partner, or "friendzone" partner may depend highly on one's facial masculinity. | |||

* ''Using a movie that morphs a very masculine male face (frame 1 of 700) into an androgynous face, the facial pictures and vertical lines indicate the mean location of participants’ dominant male (DOM), short-term mate (STM), long-term mate (LTM), average male (AVM) and androgynous face (AND) selections, with respect to experimentally assigned personality traits.'' | |||
* ''F1 (‘Friend’ factor) is composed of positive attributes such as sensitive, helpful and trustworthy.'' | |||
* ''F3 (‘Enemy’ factor) consists of undesirable attributes like selfish, controlling and threatening. | |||
* ''The ‘Lover’ factor (F2) includes sexually exciting, supportive and healthy.'' | |||
* ''The STM selection appears to be the best ‘good-genes’ choice (Lover factor), while avoiding the negative traits associated with high degrees of masculinity (Enemy factor). '' | |||
* ''The LTM selection appears to trade off some ‘good genes’ attributes in favor of those required for a good friend and good father (included in F1).'' | |||
