A study published in the Proceedings of Biological Sciences suggests interesting resuts of women's preferences for male faces. Interestingly, preferences for feminine faces and no effect of masculinity–femininity on male facial attractiveness. Women's preferences for masculine male faces are positively related to ratings of the masculinity of their actual partner and their ideal partner.
Correlations with partner masculinity were independent of real and ideal partner age, which were not associated with facial masculinity preference. Collectively, these findings suggest that variability among studies in their findings for women's masculinity preferences reflects individual differences in attraction to masculinity rather than differences in the methods used to manufacture stimuli, and are important for the interpretation of previous and future studies of facial masculinity.
