(115,681 posts)The article seems to say the women in the study prejudged the men based on some physical characteristics. Their conclusions however seem based on making a lot of assumptions.
Is testosterone actually higher in men judged more attractive for a fling or was that an assumption based on "The key, he said, is testosterone, the hormone responsible for development of masculine facial features and other secondary sexual characteristics"? Causation, correlation or simply 2 facts put together (testosterone is responsible for male secondary sexual characteristics/development + some males judged sexier)?
How much of what the women in the study chose was societal vs genetic?
"Increased testosterone has also been linked to male cheating and violence in relationships", but is that correlation or causation? Because those most likely to cheat/be violent have higher testosterone, does that mean having higher testosterone leads to that?
Lots of interesting questions to come out of this.
