🔬 Female Attraction to Masculinity – What Science Actually Says [Water]

The Evolutionary Trade-Off: Health vs. Investment

Women’s attraction to masculinity isn’t a fixed switch, it’s a moving target driven by biology. Masculine traits (strong jaw, wide face, pronounced brow) come from higher testosterone. That signals genetic quality (immune system strength), but also correlates with lower investment (less nurturing, more risk-taking). Here’s the kicker: women’s preferences actually shift across their menstrual cycle.
During ovulation (fertile phase): attraction to masculine features spikes. This is when the “good genes” strategy kicks in—her biology is optimizing for offspring quality, so the subconscious push is toward men with high-testosterone markers.
During non-fertile phases: preference tilts toward softer, less masculine faces. Reason? At this point she’s not chasing raw genetics, but stability and long-term support. Softer guys are subconsciously read as more trustworthy, reliable, and less likely to cheat.
This isn’t theory—it’s backed by studies (Penton-Voak et al., 1999; Penton-Voak & Perrett, 2000).
Women literally preferred more masculine faces in fertile phases and more feminine faces otherwise.​

(so in conclusion having a Chad like bone structure will get you a lot of bitches but having a stable relationship would be more difficult because your MASCULINE traits will make her uncomfortable and more likely to always argue for something)

first part is clearly ai. i use gpt daily for research and can tell how it writes. this isn't human writing. unless you just used gpt for research.

either way, it's a decent thread. just a whole bunch of soulless words when it could be said better.

I mean I asked things to gpt for the thread but I also looked into some random articles about this soo they were ai too

The important is that we all get to know the truth
