Figure 1.
Scatterplots for high- and low-fertility ratings of attractiveness versus masculinity (top row) and symmetry (bottom row) for faces (left) and bodies (right).
Lines of best fit are shown for both low- and high-fertility ratings. They overlap in each case so that only one line can be seen. × = low-fertility ratings. xˆ = high-fertility ratings.
Figure 2.
Masculinity preference strength as measured by Pearson correlation coefficients between attractiveness and each of face and body masculinity rated by women at low- (dark bars) and high- (light bars) fertility points of the menstrual cycle (n = 117, all p values<0.001).
95% CIs are shown.
Figure 3.
Symmetry preference strength as measured by Pearson correlation coefficients between attractiveness and each of face and body symmetry rated by women at low- (dark bars) and high- (light bars) fertility points of the menstrual cycle (n = 117, all p values<0.001).
95% CIs are shown.
