“Being able to tell whether someone is likely to be interested in serious relationships or just one night stands would be very useful for both men and women when selecting partners. So we decided to see whether that information was reflected in the face, and whether observers can extract that information to form accurate impressions.”

In the study, 103 Caucasian individuals were photographed and asked to complete an assessment of sociosexuality, meaning their openness to casual, uncommitted sexual relationships. Using a technique known as geometric morphometric methodology, the researchers were able to find a relationship between sociosexuality and facial shape characteristics among men but not women. Heightened sociosexuality in men was associated with longer faces, higher foreheads, longer noses, and larger eyes.

“It turned out that women were really good at judging whether men were only interested in short-term uncommitted relationships,” said co-author Joe Antar in a news release. “This is a really valuable skill to have, as it would allow women to make subconscious decisions about which men would be a good fit for them, according to their relationship goals.”

Using their data, the researchers also created pairs of facial composites that represented high- and low-sociosexuality faces. The researchers found that participants were able to correctly identify the high sociosexuality composite better than chance — but only for men’s and not women’s faces.
