These findings indicate that more promiscuous men attend more to signs of fertility, nubility, and [[fisherian runaway|sexual ornaments]] more than facial attractiveness. Alternatively, it could be that sexually promiscuous men, due to their extensive sexual experience, have higher sexual self-esteem and consequently believe they possess [[SMV|high mate value]]. This higher self-worth likely drives part of their greater preference for women with a trait associated with physical attractiveness (larger breasts). The study mentioned above by Pahoohi et al. did find evidence for such an interaction in this direction.

There is also evidence that suggests that female preference for bodily attractiveness may vary strongly by rater sociosexuality (promiscuity and sexual permissiveness), with women with more sexually unrestricted attitudes responding more favorably to masculinize men (face and bodies in this particular study) in explicitly short-term mating contexts.<ref>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16799836/</ref>
