Single men look more masculine and attractive yet less trustworthy

[garfyld]

Consistent with our hypothesis, single men’s BO(body odor) was rated as smelling stronger than the BO of partnered men. We also found that single men’s faces were rated as more masculine than partnered men’s faces, but only among partnered women. Moreover, partnered women rated partnered men’s faces as kinder, more trustworthy and loyal than single men’s faces, but single females rated partnered and single men’s faces similarly on these characteristics. Finally, the results showed favorable BO ratings were correlated with favorable ratings of the corresponding faces

The number of respondents in the study is unfortunately too little to be conclusive.

If replicated with more participants and the evidence is similar then oofy doofy theory might be legit for relationships lol
