A prettyboy will always receive much more IOIs than a hypermasc
Why? Simple, it’s the low-high trust face spectrum.
In studies it’s been shown women find positive facial expressions much more attractive and register them much faster than they would with others, and in that they find a sense of fondness and familiarity.
Unlike with a masculine low trust ogre they’d feel intimidated and uncomfortable.
That would reduce the perceived attraction.
While in the long run a masculine face is better in terms of a LTR and stability, that values to nearly nothing when the female registers you a threat and incompatible.
Looking at it from a physiological angle women show faster pupil dilation, higher early attractiveness ratings, and more approach behavior toward faces with positive physiognomy and higher “baby schema / neotenous” cues (larger eyes high trust eyes, smoother contours, higher brow, less heavy supra development)
A low trust masc face triggers a mild threat response even when the man is not behaving threateningly and might even be friendly, that causes a reduced “safe to approach” window.
Positive affect is contagious and lowers cortisol
women rate smiling / approachable faces higher on warmth and higher on short term attractiveness in zero acquaintance studies.
What does this mean? A prettyboy is going to receive much more perceived attraction off the get go.
The mechanism is straightforward. Positive valence + higher trust facial morphology is registered faster and produces an immediate “safe / familiar / fond” response. Heavy masculine low trust morphology produces a mild threat/intimidation response that suppresses spontaneous IOIs even when the man is objectively high SMV.
This is why the soft featured, slightly neotenous prettyboy consistently racks up more casual environment approaches, smiles, and IOIs than the pure hypermasc ogre of equal or higher objective attractiveness.
The latter may still win in high arousal or high status selection but he doesn’t in initial contact
So stop the high dimo cope and admit pretty boys mog.
