Marriage... For Women, It's all in the Face

Psychologists at Durham and St. Andrews Universities claim that women focus on a man's facial features when it comes to choosing a life-partner. The study found that men with a square jaw, smaller eyes and a larger nose are less-likely to be suitable long-term partners because they're more likely to be domineering, unfaithful, unaffectionate and poor parents... ouch! On the other hand, women said that men with finer facial features including fuller lips, wide eyes and thinner, more curved eyebrows would make for the proper long-term suitor. Women were asked to look at pictures of men's faces that had been digitally altered to look either more masculine or feminine and to predict the man's personality traits, sexual behavior and parenting skills.
