As our ancestors evolved, the ability to attract a female mate through good looks became more important.Darn!

Thank you, ladies :-)

This articles fails to address an evolutionary reason for it, though. The females would not have suddenly decided that they liked some look better than others--they would have had some reason for deciding that males with that look would be more likely to reproduce than the others, and hence would have selected them. This author makes it sound like they woke up one day and thought, "hmm, the bulky aggressive look is out!"
(It's a pet peeve of mine that so few journalists who write about evolution seem to understand the way that it actually works!)

I thought it was big feet that attracted women.;^)

Probably was true at one time before the discovery of alcohol.

The opposite was true in males with more elongated faces.

.............found evidence suggesting that our ancestors may have gradually sacrificed fighting for wooing.If this is the case then you'd think by now a 9" tongue for men would be the norm ;-)

Sorry! There's just not enough women who could command a good looking guy unless he's brain damaged. But then, maybe that explains the loss of man's will to protect "the weaker sex."
Too many overweight Hillary looking women (Notice! I didn't say ugly.) will never have the choice of good looking guys. Anyway, they all look prettier at closing time.
A woman drove me to drink and drinking drove me to women. Now I don't drink and does anyone know any more tired old clichés?

Well, the Drill cave-men weren't noted for looks, I guess, but ladies, I'm lookin' in the mirror here and you've got some 'splainin' to do...

Well, one aspect that's ignored is that those who are deemed most attractive are also those who are the most physically "average" - meaning they have features not too big, not too small, not to wide, not to thin, not too asymmetrical, etc. etc.
As a general rule, to say that women had the luxury to select out "attractive" men is merely to say that women selected men whose features were the least uneven looking, and therefore the most 'healthy' looking (i.e., average = healthy = attractive).

She says that changes were probably driven by choosy females who began to demand handsomeness, not brute force. Women such as my wife got both.

I guess the irony that the real pretty boys are gay.
