→Women are less likely to use a condom with a more attractive male partner

In other words, whether a man is attractive is the most important predictor of whether women will use a condom during intercourse with him. Furthermore, ''women are less likely to use a condom with a man they judge as being high risk for carrying or transmitting an STD to them.'' | In other words, whether a man is attractive is the most important predictor of whether women will use a condom during intercourse with him.

Eleftheriou et al. (2016) found a very similar result for heterosexual men with an even higher magnitude of correlation of r = −0.785, suggesting that men are just as choosy with regards to looks, if not more choosy. | |||

This result can be regarded as evidence for the [[sexy son hypothesis]], proposed by statistician and geneticist Ronald Fisher (1930). His theory—expanding upon Darwin's much overlooked emphasis on the sexual selection for male traits by females—states that [[beauty]] may have evolved by a feedback loop ([[Fisherian runaway]]) to become so attractive that women are readily willing to copulate with a beautiful male irrespective of other considerations (e.g. his ability or willingness to provide for and protect the female), because the males' beauty—which is partly heritable—confer on their offspring a potential reproductive advantage. The same does hold true for the opposite case i.e. men more readily copulate with beautiful women, but men can afford to be much more less selective/more promiscuous in any case because they do not need to pay the cost of carrying and giving birth to the child and do not need to consider women's ability to provide ([[Bateman's Principle]] of differential parental investment). Hence, women's behavior of disregarding the ability to provide merely at the benefit of better looking offspring has much more drastic implications. --> | This result can be regarded as evidence for the [[sexy son hypothesis]], proposed by statistician and geneticist Ronald Fisher (1930).
