Women think more feminine-looking men are most likely to be committed in a relationship.
More masculine-looking men are just after a quick fling, according to over 18,000 women who took part in a BBC Television Megalab '99 experiment. The experiment aimed to find out why previous research had shown that more women preferred feminine-featured male faces, like Leonardo DiCaprio, than more masculine male faces, like Arnold Schwarzenegger. The answer, the Megalab '99 experiment suggests, is that women associate different personality characteristics with the different faces. Masculine-faced men are seen as dominant but cold and untrustworthy. However, feminine-faced men are seen as warm and kind.
