Literature regarding most attractive phenotypes in regards to female gaze

[revant]

I've been thinking about this for a while but has anyone found any literature on which phenotypes attract the most women overall? Like are there any stats on this.

 

[justnemat]

A healthy, above average height, lean athletic man with a symmetrical, near-average face and clear skin is the most broadly attractive phenotype to women overall.

but what if they have more androgynous features, or have extreme dimorphism

Moderate dimorphism maximizes broad appeal; androgyny maximizes safety and stability; extreme masculinity maximizes polarization and short-term impact.

yeah but im asking if any of these features are on the extreme end of the specturm (for example, lets say an induvidual has high androgyny yet low masculinity, but has moderate dimorphism), would that specific phenotype be less attractive to women?

Moderate dimorphism = good broad appeal
Low masculinity = less polarizing, more stable attractiveness
Androgyny = higher perceived trustworthiness

A phenotype that is highly androgynous, low in facial masculinity, but moderately sexually dimorphic is not less attractive overall.

A phenotype that is highly androgynous, low in facial masculinity, but moderately sexually dimorphic is not less attractive overall — it simply shifts attraction toward women who value warmth, trust, and long-term compatibility, and away from a smaller subgroup that prioritizes dominance and short-term arousal.

bro if you're using AI be more discrete with it bro
