Marriage-Minded Women Focus on Men’s Faces

When it comes to a woman’s choice of a life-partner, a man’s face may mean a lot, a new study finds.
Many women regard men with masculine facial features — such as a square jaw, larger nose and smaller eyes — as unsuitable long-term partners, because they’re more likely to be domineering, unfaithful, unaffectionate and poor parents, U.K. researchers have found.
On the other hand, women believe that men with finer facial features — fuller lips, wide eyes and thinner, more curved eyebrows — to be more committed, less likely to cheat, and to make better parents, said the study by psychologists at Durham and St. Andrews Universities.
Before reading the rest of this study, have you ever put this much stock into facial features? Really?
I honestly hadn’t thought about the features so much – though I have heard before that a man with thin lips shouldn’t be trusted.
I always seem to think of that old tale when I see the President speak.
