Fuller lips, wider eyes.... This has to be a joke.

A British study suggests women judge men with more feminine features to be more committed in relationships and better parents.
The research team, featuring psychologists from Durham University and St. Andrews University, asked more than 400 people to predict personality traits of men based on photographs that were digitally altered to appear more masculine -- square jaw, larger nose and smaller eyes -- or more feminine -- fuller lips and wider eyes -- The Telegraph reported Wednesday.
The majority of test subjects found the men in the more masculine pictures to be less faithful, more detached and worse fathers, while the more feminine men were considered to be more caring, nurturing and faithful.
David Perrett, one of the study's authors, said the healthiness of the face also had an effect on the women. He said good health can help override the undesirable masculine features.
"Our research also found that it is men's health that conveys all-round good qualities for partnership and personality," he said.
I call BS on this "study".
Likewise.
Re: I call BS on this “study”
As do I.
It is a study of British women......
What do they know?
Bet if you did this test 50yrs ago it would have been the “strong handsome type”.
Even if this were true - and I think it's BS - look at all the other 'judgments' women have made over the decades and have a good laugh. Or cry. We can start with feminism and daycare.

Worked for the Silky Pony, didn’t it?
lol, this may be true as far as it goes, but who says women choose partners based on who they think would be a better parent, or most committed? Most women seem to prefer bad boys when it comes to pure sex appeal. How are girly men supposed to compete with that?
Finally, good news for John Edwards.
Personally, I prefer the rugged type. I outgrew pretty boys when I was a teenager.
Let’s look at some (physically) similar match-ups and see which ones I pick:
Mitt Romney versus John Edwards? Romney
Rudy Guiliani versus Hillary Clinton? Guiliani (What do you mean, she’s NOT a man?)
John McCain versus Joe Biden? McCain
George W. Bush versus Bill Clinton? President Bush
Duncan Hunter versus Chris Dodd? Hunter
Huckabee versus Richardson? Huckabee by a mile
Our choices are just SO much better!
I always preferred Rhett over Ashley. ;o)
The $$$$$$$ame way they alwa$$$$y$$$$$$$ have.
LOLOLOLOL!
300 vs Friends?? Spartans babeeee!
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh YEAH!
Yeah but.......
Any hot lezbo pics?
