Partner Preferences: What characteristics do men and women desire in their partners?
The voice structure of a man is another attraction measure for short-term relationships. Women in the fertile stage in the menstrual cycle prefer men with low-pitched voice when it comes to short-term matches (Puts, 2005).
The shoulder-hip ratio is another physical feature that women consider. Men with a high shoulder-to-hip ratio experience sexual experience at an early age, find more partners, and engage in extra-marital relationships than their counterparts with a low shoulder-to-hip ratio (Hughes and Gallup, 2003).
In the evaluation of all physical attractiveness, facial attractiveness is more important than body attractiveness (Currie and Little, 2009). Therefore, as in short-term relationships, attractive face increases the attractiveness of men in long-term relationships. The fact that the face is symmetrical (Buss, 1999) and masculine (Penton-Voak, Jacobson, and Trivers, 2004) increases the sexual attractiveness of women; because a symmetrical and masculine face is a solid clue to the existence of healthy genes.
