Women Prefer Manly Faces At Periods of Peak Fertility

Researchers at the University of Saint Andrews in Scotland (see http://www.firstscience.com/site/articles/perception.asp) have found that women prefer a masculine face when they are at peak fertility (at which time they are most likely to be interested in short-term sexual relationships), but when they are looking for a long-term relationship they find men with feminized faces more appropriate. My sister sent me this joke about this research: 

Research has revealed that  the kind of male face a woman finds attractive can differ depending on  where she is in her menstrual cycle.  For instance, if she is ovulating she is attracted to men with rugged and masculine features.

However, if she is menstruating or menopausal, she is more prone to be attracted to a man with scissors lodged in his temple and a bat jammed up his ass while he is on fire.

Further studies are expected.
