Researches has been done<ref>https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/pdf/10.1098/rspb.2017.1819</ref> on rated attractiveness and perceived strength when compared to actual quantified strength, height and weight (with faces eliminated as a variable). Perceived strength is correlated to actual strength, but surprisingly, perceived strength is correlated to attractiveness, while actual strength is inversely correlated with strength. This suggest that people are judged by their frame and its maximum potential to gain muscles, rather than the current "gains" of muscle. | Researches has been done<ref>https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/pdf/10.1098/rspb.2017.1819</ref> on rated attractiveness and perceived strength when compared to actual quantified strength, height and weight (with faces eliminated as a variable).

There are some haphazard critiques of this theory, and insisting that posture<ref>https://foxhoundstudio.com/blog/aesthetics/the-ideal-male-body-is-it-possible-to-be-too-muscular/</ref> is more important than frame by only looking at ONE sample picture. The same author made the note however, that shoulder width<ref>https://bonytobeastly.com/ectomorph-aesthetics-full-article/</ref> also matters, which is euphemism for the promotion of upper-body centric workouts. | There are some haphazard critiques of this theory, and insisting that posture<ref>https://foxhoundstudio.com/blog/aesthetics/the-ideal-male-body-is-it-possible-to-be-too-muscular/</ref> is more important than frame by only looking at ONE sample picture.
