A Wide Face Is More Attractive For A Male

A wide or broad face is more attractive for a male in certain circumstances as it signals dominance. For short-term relationships, women are more attracted to a wide face, research finds.

Men with a wide face are seen as more dominant and aggressive.

Dr Katherine Valentine, the study’s first author, said:

“Our study shows that within three minutes of meeting in real life, women find more dominant, wider-faced men attractive for short-term relationships, and want to go on another date with them.”

A wide face signals dominance

For the study, the researchers measured men’s facial width to height ratio, their fWHR.

Dr Valentine explained:

“High male fWHR has previously been associated with surviving in hand-to-hand combat, aggressiveness, self-perceived power, and CEO’s financial success. Our study shows it’s also a reasonably good indicator of perceived dominance — not only that, it piques women’s interest in a face-to-face speed-dating setting.” The study involved live speed dating in which heterosexual single people met for just 3 minutes. Men with the widest or broadest faces (more accurately, the highest fWHR) were rated as more dominant.

They were more likely to be chosen for a short-term relationship.

Women were also more likely to choose them for a second date as well.

Dr Valentine said:

“The fact that women wanted to see these men again suggests that our findings are robust — women aren’t just saying they are interested, they’re actually willing to be contacted by these men. Previous studies have found that women prefer more dominant men for short-term relationships, but almost all of these studies were based in the lab and did not involve an interaction that could actually lead to mating and dating.” The researchers took into account the age and attractiveness of the men — in other words it wasn’t just that men with wider faces (or of a certain age) were more attractive. The study was published in the journal Psychological Science (Valentine et al., 2014).

At what age does a man start slowing down?

New study says decline begins in our 50s Researchers with Duke University's School of Medicine suggest that physical decline begins in the decade of the 50s and worsens as we age, especially for those who don't exercise.

Typically, studies that have looked at age-related physical ability focused on testing those in their 70s and 80s. This study tested a wider age range — 775 subjects from age 30 to 90-plus — and found that exercise to offset physical decline needs to start before people are AARP-eligible. "Our research reinforces a life-span approach to maintaining physical ability — don't wait until you are 80 years old and cannot get out of a chair," lead author Katherine Hall, assistant professor of medicine at Duke, said in a statement. "The good news is, the ability to function independently can often be preserved with regular exercise." In the study, published in the Journals of Gerontology, all participants were given simple tests to measure their strength, balance or endurance: rising from a chair repeatedly for 30 seconds; standing on one leg for a minute; and walking for six minutes. Walking speed over a distance of about 10 yards was also measured.
