The original looks studies from 1997 were extremely flawed due to the researchers confusing femininity for beauty. Beauty is a stand-alone trait that has an overlap with femininity. Beauty is attractive in both sexes. Some facial features, such as full lips, are inherently beautiful and attractive to both men and women. Any facial morph where the more "masculine" face has thinner lips, is going to be rated as less attractive. When the feminine/beautiful traits are left alone, but the masculine traits exaggerated, the face is more attractive. Autistic people have an extremely hard time distinguishing femininity from beauty due to being bad with faces (Prosopagnosia, face-blindness). | The original looks studies from 1997 were extremely flawed due to the researchers confusing femininity for beauty.

In short, women couldn't care less if a dude looks like a chick as long as the guy has some super masculine features, such as a strong jaw, chin, hunter eyes, very large full eyebrows, etc. | In short, women couldn't care less if a dude looks like a chick as long as the guy has some super masculine features, such as a strong jaw, chin, hunter eyes, very large full eyebrows, etc. Although in one case Suga from the kpop boy band B.T.S. scored an 8/10 in raw sex appeal on [[Photofeeler]], on a screenshot from their Dynamite music video, at the climax of the video where he is covered in facialy feminizing makeup and singing in a countertenor, Suga has no masculine features whatsoever other than he happens to be male.<ref>https://imgur.com/a/WGXer8L</ref> 1 off cases like that suggest [[facial masculinity]] is more so a by product of increased testosterone, increased height and higher overall '''natural''' strength and athleticism, traits women are only weakly attracted to, rather than crucial for sex appeal and attractiveness, with the caveat being '''enhanced''' strength and athleticism, through lifting weights is very overall attractive to women especially by the time a man reaches his 40s and older, based on [[Photofeeler]] tests us at the incel wiki have run, on photos with the caption "rate raw sex appeal in place of attractiveness." With the results being that even [[Silverfox]]es such as Pierce Brosnan, lose all their raw sex appeal from facial attractiveness, as soon as they take their shirt off, if they are not extremely muscular. The results are so extreme its likely that nearly all women will be disgusted just sleeping in the same bed with a non muscular man by the time he reaches his 40s and older, meaning testosterone replacement therapy is crucial to not be seen as only a [[betabux]] as an aging man.<ref>https://imgur.com/a/le4zyLN</ref> | ||
Romance novels often use long-haired, aesthetic, pretty boys with added rippling muscles as cover models to appeal to as many different women's preferences as possible. | |||
Previous studies (done as early as 1997) on sexual dimorphism showed feminine preferences in female faces and mixed findings in male faces. A 2014 study on preferences for sexual dimorphism on attractiveness levels in male faces found both male and female participants preferred masculine faces to androgynous faces when the faces were highly attractive, but there were mixed results at lowers levels of attractiveness.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886914007132</ref> | Previous studies (done as early as 1997) on sexual dimorphism showed feminine preferences in female faces and mixed findings in male faces.

Despite mixed results on facial androgyny, research has shown behavioral androgyny to be linearly correlated with more opposite-sex partners. | Despite mixed results on facial androgyny, research has shown behavioral androgyny to be linearly correlated with more opposite-sex partners. | ||
