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. | Brown, Hirachi, and Zandbergen (2018) conducted a study of the mate preferences of (N=86) college students.

The vignettes also described the men as being in various states of illness (cold, headache, and 'vog'-i.e respiratory problems caused by volcanic eruptions 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. | ||

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). | It was found that the female participants preferred men who 'suffered in silence' as long-term mates, and high status men.
