The dainty "feminine" look that many women think they need in order to attract men only goes so far in a pinch.
Stephanie Pappas of Live
Science reports that women with this type of look are “perceived to be less socially dominant.”
In harsh environments, men allegedly seek female mates “who can hold on to resources” - a trait which is often (fairly or not) equated with less dainty-looking females.
How does this all play out within today’s nations? Pappas
explains that the Nepalese, Nigerians and Columbians are least likely to be attracted to “girly” looks, whereas the Japanese, Australians and Americans are most likely to pursue “femininity.”
These conclusions were drawn from a study of heterosexual men within 28 nations. “Feminine”
features – described as “large eyes, pillow lips and a soft jaw” – were equated with “fecundity.”
