Chin Size and Cheating – Any Connection?

Ladies, do you have a small or a large chin? Large? Does that mean long? Or wide? Anyway…. apparently women with larger chins are a bigger cheating risk.
Researchers from four U.S. and Canadian universities studied women with larger, more masculine, chins and compared them with smaller-chinned women. They then asked men to evaluate the women as potential life partners.
Larger chins on women can indicate a higher level of testosterone, which fuels sexual assertiveness and decreases sexual inhibition. That can be linked to to infidelity risk, the scientists said.
The researchers found that men by and large preferred women with smaller chins as life partners, “demonstrating that perceptions of women as desirable and trustworthy long-term mates can be reliably gleaned by men from viewing only the women’s facial features,” the study’s authors said.
The report was published in the journal Personality And Individual Differences.
What do you think of this? I’ve known women with chins of all sizes and I think it’s a crock of duck poo. I have a small chin and although I’ve never been a cheater, I am fairly uninhibited. Enjoying sex and being adventurous does not mean a woman is going to cheat.
