Women 'sense qualities (testosterone) in a man'

[joeunderdog]

Women are fine tuned subconsciously to detect the qualities they are looking for in a man - just by looking at his face, US research suggests.

Women can spot subtle signs of interest in children in a man's face, and accurately assess his level of the sex hormone testosterone, it claims.

"Our results also show that women value masculinity as a desirable trait for short-term relationships and interest in infants as a desirable trait for more stable long-term relationships."

"I don't think that evolution has given women a second sense in this area but has made them very good at using every piece of information at their disposal when making decisions about mating and relationships."

1. I knew it!

The Bible is technically correct in that women were made from men - we're a more highly-evolved species of man.

3. Makes Sense. I've Read Similar Studies Over The Years Though.

Just like men are driven towards larger breasts as a sign of fertility. (though I myself have always cared less)

5. Triple E minimum for me....

Giant bulging boobs and hips big enough to cradle a basball team--now that says FERTILITY!

6. Yup - I've Never Been Involved with a Man Who Wanted Children

Then again, when dating, the first words out of my mouth were "If you're looking for someone to be a mommy, look elsewhere!"

I was with my ex for 9 years; I've been with my Loved One for 15 and counting...

7. Just love glib generalizations about half of humanity
