Women with high voices apparently prefer deep voice, manly men, according to a new study that sheds light on the rules of attraction.
The scientific investigation of the characteristics that make people attractive because these reveal the physical and mental qualities, we are for, shedding light on what forces drive human evolution.
"People obviously prefer to date and marry people who consider attractive but are also more likely to cooperate with individuals appealing, attractive and prefer to hire people even prefer to vote for those they think are attractive," said psychologist Benedict Jones of the University of Aberdeen in Scotland. "Therefore, by understanding the factors that influence judgments of attractiveness, which is good ideas into something that is one of the most powerful forces driving social interaction."
Interestingly, previous research has shown that women with high voices are not only considered more attractive sounds that are often considered more expensive than other attractions. Further studies revealed these women's voices are often linked with higher estrogen levels, may serve as a reference for health and fertility.
heterosexual women are attractive in terms of whether they have hourglass figures and others consider beautiful faces usually show particularly strong preference for men with masculine faces - those who are heavier jaws and eyebrows, for example. Such manly features could be related to the health of a man, and thus women unknowingly could be potentially competing for healthier offspring.
In fact, studies have shown that deep-voiced men have more children.
This suggested that perhaps women voiced soprano favorite macho men deep voice and, in essence, the link to the more feminine and more masculine.
"Over the years, many philosophers have suggested that it is impossible to understand the beauty and attraction, largely because the beauty is in the eye of the beholder," said Jones. "Our work shows that the latter, although it is true that people often differ in the type of people they find most attractive, these idiosyncratic tastes may to some extent, understand and predict even."
To test their idea, Jones and his colleagues measured the tone of the voices of 113 university students. They next heard the recordings of the men either saying "I really like you" or "I do not really like you", and asked how attractive they find them. The voices of these men were altered electronically to have any higher-pitched, more female voices, or more serious, more masculine voices.
The volunteers preferred lower-pitched voices, regardless of what the men said. In addition, 20 women with higher pitched voices preferred male voices almost 20 percent more on average than the 20 women with lower pitch voices.
"The results suggest that the attractiveness of women themselves in some way influences their preference for male traits in the men's voices," said Jones. "Effects like those in our study may simply reflect the people who find their niche in the market for mating and bearing in mind that when judging the attractiveness of others."
"What is somewhat surprising that little is such an effect in studies like ours where people are judging the attractiveness of people who never meet, regardless of intent to enter into a relationship," said Jones LiveScience. "The consciousness of our own market value seems to be so entrenched that we take into account even in situations that really do not have."
An interesting direction for future research might be whether or not women with high voices in fact enter into relations with deep-voiced men.
"Is it an effect that is specific to resolutions of attraction, or they shape our decisions about who we come into contact with? Jones asked.
Moreover, instead of using only static images or recordings of voice: "I would be alive in the future to modify the appearance and vocal characteristics of videos of people in order to investigate how people combine visual and auditory signals when Judging other attractions, "he added.
