Dishonest individuals request more frequent mate retention from friends
Coalitional mate retention ( CMR ) occurs when individuals request assistance from a friend to minimize the risk of partner infidelity. We secured reports from men and women in a committed, heterosexual relationship to investigate associations between CMR requests and the sex and personality traits of individuals who request CMR and the sex of their friends. Consistent with our hypothesis, individuals scoring higher in Honesty–Humility requested …
Sex difference in attractiveness perceptions of strong and weak male walkers
OBJECTIVES: Men and women accurately assess male physical strength from facial and body morphology cues. Women's assessments of male facial attractiveness, masculinity, and dominance correlate positively with male physical strength. A positive relationship also has been reported between physical strength and attractiveness of men's dance movements. Here, we investigate men's and women's attractiveness, dominance, and strength assessments from bri…
Physical strength and dance attractiveness
OBJECTIVES: Physical strength provides information about male quality and can be assessed from facial and body morphology. Research on perception of dance movements indicates that body movement also provides information about male physical strength. These relationships have not been investigated for women. METHODS: We investigated relationships of handgrip strength (HGS) and dance attractiveness perception in 75 men and 84 women. RESULTS: We iden…
Body symmetry and physical strength in human males
OBJECTIVES: Body symmetry and physical strength in males have been related to aspects of mate "quality"-women seem to prefer men who display both "good genes" (as indexed by high symmetry/developmental health) and fighting ability (as indexed by physical strength). Here we show that fluctuating asymmetry (FA) of the body and physical strength are negatively correlated. METHODS: Body FA (from 12 paired traits) and handgrip strength (HGS; a measure…
