The ovulatory shift hypothesis has fallen into disfavor in academia of late,<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Facial_masculinity#Ovulatory_shift_hypothesis_and_dual_mating</ref> with claims of "p-hacking," faulty research methodologies, and even outright scientific fraud being levied at prominent proponents of the hypothesis, though some have attempted to rehabilitate it based on weak evidence of small cycle shifts in female preference in terms of women's preferred level of muscularity of a male partner across their menstrual cycle.<ref>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25180805/</ref><ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0018506X20302427</ref> | The ovulatory shift hypothesis has fallen into disfavor in academia of late,<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Facial_masculinity#Ovulatory_shift_hypothesis_and_dual_mating</ref> with claims of "p-hacking," faulty research methodologies, and even outright scientific fraud being levied at prominent proponents of the hypothesis, though some have attempted to rehabilitate it based on weak evidence of small cycle shifts in female preference in terms of women's preferred level of muscularity of a male partner across their menstrual cycle.<ref>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25180805/</ref><ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0018506X20302427</ref> | ||
The combination of the findings above suggests that if any cycle shifts in terms of a greater female preference during their menstrual cycle are legitimate, it may be simply explicable by the fact that both sociosexuality and libido have been demonstrated in some studies to increase prior to ovulation.<ref>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20464468/</ref><ref>https://doi.org/10.1016/j.evolhumbehav.2020.06.008</ref> | The combination of the findings above suggests that if any cycle shifts in terms of a greater female preference for muscular men during their menstrual cycle are legitimate, it may be simply explicable by the fact that both sociosexuality and libido have been demonstrated in some studies to increase prior to ovulation.<ref>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20464468/</ref><ref>https://doi.org/10.1016/j.evolhumbehav.2020.06.008</ref> | ||
One could speculate on the basis of this data that a heightened female preference for more masculine bodies during their cycle could be not necessarily due to women being adapted to cuckold their male partners. These (weak, if they do prove to be robust) shifts in preference may simply be reflective of greater female [[sex drive|horniness]] shifting their mate preferences away from signals of provision, caregiving capability, etc., to traits that to which they are strongly physically attracted, as faster life history strategy women seem to do. There is also evidence that suggests that women are typically choosier in regards to looks when considering short-term mating exclusively, ergo, it naturally follows they would prefer better looking (more muscular men) when primed for short-term relationships.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#In_short-term_dating_and_when_women_have_many_dating_options_they_are_more_choosy_about_looks_than_men</ref> | One could speculate on the basis of this data that a heightened female preference for more masculine bodies during their cycle could be not necessarily due to women being adapted to cuckold their male partners.
