Feminine guys better for long-term love: study

[Marilyn. 340]

i don't think they are saying that women like to settle down with girly guys, just guys who have softer features...

I am not saying that is necessarily true, just trying to clarify what the article is actually talking about....

just because a guy has softer facial features doesn't mean he is feminine

Nah...your hubby doesn't look like the girly-man image that the article's description put into my head.

Women seem to judge potential mates by how masculine their features are, new research shows. Men with square jaws and well-defined brow ridges are seen as good short-term partners, while those with more feminine traits such as a rounder face and fuller lips are perceived as better long-term mates.

In the study, 854 male and female subjects viewed a series of male head shots that had been digitally altered to exaggerate or minimize masculine traits. The participants then answered questions about how they expected the men in the photos to behave.

Overwhelmingly, participants said those with more masculine features were likely to be risky and competitive and also more apt to fight, challenge bosses, cheat on spouses and put less effort into parenting. Those with more feminine faces were seen as good parents and husbands, hard workers and emotionally supportive mates
