bigpoppanils Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Ananova: Women's taste in men 'flavoured by pill' Women's taste in men could vary depending on whether they are taking the contraceptive pill, researchers claim.Psychologists say taking the contraceptive may lead to women choosing men with a "macho" appearance, as opposed to those with more feminine features.During tests, scientists at St Andrews and Stirling Universities showed female subjects different images of men and asked which one they would select as a potential long-term companion.Women who were on the pill were more attracted to men with strong masculine features but the reverse was true of women not taking the contraceptive.The study, which is to be published later this year, argues men with more masculine faces should be perceived to be more attractive as their characteristics suggest they will provide good immunity genes.But researchers found in choosing long-term partners, women would subconsciously select men with less-threatening facial features, theoretically indicating honesty and good child-rearing skills.Men with a more rugged appearance, such as a pronounced jawline and cheekbones, were held to be more attractive for women looking for short-term partners.Anthony Little, who conducted the research, said the pill's disruption on ovulation could lead to them making the wrong choice in long-term partners.In the Sunday Times, he said: "Where a woman chooses her partner while she is on the pill, and then comes off it to have a child, she may find she is married to the wrong man."Previous research at St Andrews had suggested a woman's menstrual cycle was a key factor in deciding preferences between masculine and feminine features in potential partners.Story filed: 13:18 Sunday 19th January 2003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
