Brown, Hirachi, and Zandbergen (2018) conducted a study of the mate preferences of (N=86) college students. The participants were shown a set of slideshows, corresponding to the ethnicity they self-identified as (Caucasian, Asian and Pacific Islander.) Each slideshow consisted of nine slides displaying a facially symmetrical versus asymmetrical man, a mesomorphic (waist to shoulder ratio at the 'ideal' of .6) versus a less mesomorphic man and a man in a tie versus a man in a suit. | |||
Each slide was accompanied by a vignette which described the man in the photo, who were described as accomplised college students and sportsmen. The vignettes also decribed the men as being in various states of illness (cold, headache, and 'vog'-i.e respiratory problems caused by volcanic erruptions in Hawaii; where the study was conducted.) The vignette depicted the man as either being stoic in response to the illnesses or suffering from the illness. | |||
The female participants viewed the slideshow and rated the men on their desirability for either a short-term or long-term relationship. The three pairs of slides where manipulated to vary the vignettes in such parametres as facial symmetry, status/wealth, bodily attractiveness or stoicism. | |||
It was found that the female participants preferred men who 'suffered in silence' as long-term mates, and high status men. In terms of short-term mates, the women displayed a preference for men with high levels of facial symmetry and mesomorphic physiques. The women also displayed a preference for men who succumbed more to the minor illnesses, if they were physically attractive (mesomorphic physique). | |||

* ''As predicted by health selection theory, the participants preferred stoic men as LT mates.'' | |||
* ''The theory hypothesizes that men ignore or are unaware of their minor health symptoms because women historically chose mates who ignored minor health problems rather than succumbed to them.'' | |||
* ''If men have been selected to ignore or are not conscious of their health problems, hen their health services should emphasize how to increase men’s perceptions of their potential health problems so that they are more like to engage in preventive health care.'' | |||
* ''We found that women switched their preferences away from status to physically attractive men, in terms of facial symmetry and increased mesomorphism when making ST mate choices, replicating previous findings.'' | |||
