Many men choose one's summer love's partner shape, long-term partner emphasizes face

University of Texas at AustinExperiments conducted by psychologists made it clear that men seeking short-term relationships place importance on the figure of the other woman and emphasize the face of women when seeking long-term relationships.

Because a woman 's figure is a clue to know fertility, in men seeking "one - night relationship" or "one summer love", the mind who chooses the opponent who is likely to leave offspring even in a short - term relationship It seems to be suggested that it is working.

Details are as below.Men look for good bodies in short-term mates, pretty faces in long-term mates

Evolution and Human BehaviorIn a study by Professor David Buss of psychology department of University of Texas at Austin, published in a magazine, 375 college students were taken as subjects, first showing images of people whose face and body were hidden, and that person was "short-term partner Candidate "or" long-term partner candidate "after giving the option of being able to see either the face or the body.

As a result, in men who were told that hidden people were "candidates for long-term partners", 25% of men chose to see their bodies, not their opponent's face, whereas "short-term partner candidates In the case of men, the percentage of men who see their bodies seems to be as high as 51%. In female subjects, there was no significant difference in seeing the face of the other person or seeing the body even when viewing "long term partner candidate" or "short term partner candidate".

So far, there have been many researches on factors in judging faces and body shapes as attractive, such as bilateral symmetry and waist versus hip ratio, but we compare the importance of each face and body together This is the first time for a trial.

For further investigation in the future, the hidden person chooses whether to see the face or see the body similarly as being a "potential rival" possibly taking partners from the subject, and the girls are rival faces It seems that they are studying to see which threat is felt by the body shape or the body shape.
