Thus one's propensity for being judged by women as a short term partner, long term partner, or "friendzone" partner may depend highly on one's facial masculinity. Both for short-term and long-term mating, women preferred men who were far more masculine than the average man. | Thus one's propensity for being judged by women as a short term partner, long term partner, or "friendzone" partner may depend highly on one's facial masculinity.

This data may suggest that if a man finds himself continually in the "friendzone" with women, it may not be due to anything behavioral, and instead the best explanation might be found in the nearest mirror. | This data may suggest that if a man finds himself continually in the "friendzone" with women, it may not be due to anything behavioral, and instead the best explanation might be found in the nearest mirror. | ||
Notice that the difference in perception about more masculine and more moderately masculine (the ‘Hypermasculine’ vs. ‘[[Pretty Boy]]’ trope) is coherent with other research. [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886909001779] | |||
: ''While these findings suggest that male masculinity is associated with a trait that is desirable in a mate (i.e., good health), masculine facial cues are also associated with negative personality traits and behaviors that are not desirable in a mate. Masculine men are perceived as untrustworthy, emotionally cold and more likely to be bad parents than feminine men are (Boothroyd et al., 2007, Oosterhof and Todorov, 2008, Perrett et al., 1998). When asked about their past relationships, masculine men report more short-term relationships, while feminine men report more long-term relationships (Rhodes, Simmons, & Peters, 2005). Facial masculinity is associated with testosterone (Penton-Voak and Chen, 2004, Pound et al., 2009) and high-testosterone men are less likely to marry, more likely to divorce, and have more marital problems than lower-testosterone men (Booth & Dabbs, 1993), and are also less likely to feel a need to respond to infant cries than men with lower testosterone (Fleming, Corter, Stallings, & Steiner, 2002). Thus, male facial femininity signals prosocial traits, which directly benefit women by increasing paternal investment.'' | |||
