Not too long ago on this forum someone mentioned a paper where they showed photographs of the male torso to women. The outcome was that the most muscular was considered most attractive.
Didn't look at the details, though.
- dogma1138 9y agoIt’s like there is more than one attribute that governs attraction, should i publish?
- gph 9y agoYea, but having a muscular torso doesn't preclude the male from being intelligent as well. People look at attraction in too much of a binary way. I would think it's most likely that humans look for both physical and intellectual prowess in their mates. There might at times be a bit of a trade-off between the two, but likely we're trying to optimize for getting as best we can in both categories.
- fellellor 9y agoAdding the whole pic would have introduced features which affect attractiveness in an inversely proportional manner, unlike the male torso I suppose.
