Women 'sense qualities in a man'
Women are fine tuned subconsciously to detect the qualities they are looking for in a man - just by looking at his face, US research suggests. Women can spot subtle signs of interest in children in a man's face, and accurately assess his level of the sex hormone testosterone, it claims.
Child-friendly men were rated as good long-term bets, masculine men as ideal for a more short-term fling.
Dr Maestripieri said the results suggested there was more information in the face about the potential value of a man as a mating partner than previously thought.
"I don't think that evolution has given women a second sense in this area but has made them very good at using every piece of information at their disposal when making decisions about mating and relationships."
Dr James Roney, who also worked on the study, said: "The research suggests that men's interest in children may be a relatively underappreciated influence on men's long-term mate attractiveness."

:-D LOL
Do men exist with both child interest AND a high testosterone level? Or is that a contradiction in itself? :-s
In my eyes, that combination would be the perfect man...

Carissa, I so agree with you!! That combination of a man is certainly the one we all desire:o))).
Dody, hehe, it certainly did backfire... but maybe in a good way... as it seems that according to it you possess both the masculinity and characteristic of a good father...
I would watch out now, as you might get girls jumping at you from all sides now that it has been revealed that you are the ideal man!!! :o)))

I almost choked on my coffee reading this.
Digs - 'child friendly'??? Maybe friendly in a 'I will eat you and sacrifice you to Ronald McDonald' way.
What a scary thought.

Dody, I don't think all gay guys have a high level of testosterone, unless you're George Michael ... :)
