-Cues of physical dominance such as upper body size and arm thickness also play a major role in men's intrasexual competition which in turn decides their access to women, and this is more about intimidation by impressive cues of strength rather than actual strength.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1090513817304105</ref>

 One study has found an assortative mating correlation of r = .55 (p < .01) for wrist circumference in a sample of 205 U.S. citizens from Ann Arbor.<ref>https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/19485565.1968.9987763</ref><!-- Other studies have also found evidence of assortative mating for wrist thickness.<ref>https://www.rd.com/advice/relationships/why-couples-look-alike/</ref>-->
 This was even stronger than the assortative correlation for height. At least, this shows both men and women care about wrist thickness, which in turn also likely implies women care about it.
