As you all know, there was a study posted here some time ago about the contributions of face and body to overall attractiveness. It was found that face predicted about 2x more attractiveness variance than the body
I am going to debunk this study and show you that it doesn't mean what you guys previously interpreted it to mean.
Obviously on this forum people think facial attractiveness = dimorphism = wide jaw, wide zygos, big bones, etc...
But actually in reality the most dimorphic facial trait is being lean as fuck in your face. The biggest difference between men and women has always been body-fat, muscle size and height.
You can see that adiposity, but not independent facial masculinity is associated with attractiveness :
TL;DR
For the face:
Masculine dimorphic traits don't matter much, adiposity predicts your facial attractiveness very strongly.
For the body:
Body dimoprhism(muscles, wide shoulders) and adiposity both matter a lot for bodily attraction. Adiposity still has stronger correlation.

Adiposity, compared with masculinity, serves as a more valid cue to immunocompetence in human mate choice
According to the ‘good genes’ hypothesis, females choose males based on traits that indicate the male's genetic quality in terms of disease resistance. The ‘immunocompetence handicap hypothesis’ proposed that secondary ...
