Study: Which men do women find attractive?

According to a new study, heterosexual women prefer men who are taller and have broader shoulders.

Four studies involving 659 heterosexual women examined how men's height and shoulder-to-hip ratio affect perceptions of attractiveness, masculinity, and fighting ability. Participants viewed images of male bodies ranging in height from 160 cm to 190 cm and with three types of shoulder-to-hip ratios.

The researchers found that women tended to view taller men as more physically attractive, more masculine, and more capable of fighting. The same was generally true for men with broader shoulders.
