There is indeed evidence that men who are pursuing a mating strategy that is predominately centered around attaining casual sexual encounters ([[life history|fast life history strategists]]) tend to exhibit a preference for larger breasts, and more sexually restrained men tend to exhibit a preference for relatively smaller breasts, as indicated by the findings Pahoohi et al. which analyzed the effects of various moderating factors on male preferences for breast size, width, and ptosis (2020).<ref>https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40750-020-00129-1</ref> | There is indeed evidence that men who are pursuing a mating strategy that is predominately centered around attaining casual sexual encounters ([[life history|fast life history strategists]]) tend to exhibit a preference for larger breasts, and more sexually restrained men tend to exhibit a preference for relatively smaller breasts, as indicated by the findings Pahoohi et al. which analyzed the effects of various moderating factors on male preferences for breast size, width, and ptosis (2020).<ref>https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40750-020-00129-1</ref> | ||
