Study: Stress Changes Who Men Find Attractive

When men are under stress, instead of preferring women who resemble ourselves as we normally do, we tend to choose dissimilar women, researchers now find.

 

Humans of both genders usually prefer mates that resemble themselves, with previous studies suggesting people find mates with faces that resembled theirs more trustworthy, and that men looked for trustworthiness in long-term relationships. Other past research found men look for mates who look like mom, while women prefer men who look like dad. Which is kind of creepy if you think about it too much.

 

However, stress could alter mating preferences, according to past research in mice and flies and, now, in humans as well. When times are dangerous, the researchers conjectured men might not want women too similar to them, as inbreeding might lead to offspring not genetically diverse enough to deal with the varying circumstances that a risky and stressful environment might impose on them.

 

At least that's the excuse I'm using with my buddies to justify that ugly chick I had a one-night stand with! Psst... I think those shots of Jager also had something to do with it.

 

"Chronic stress is an important issue in today's society," said researcher Johanna Lass-Hennemann, a psychobiologist now at the University of Saarland in Germany. "In future studies, I would like to investigate the effects of chronic stress on our mating preferences and to do this in men and women."

 

How did Lass-Hennemann come to this conclusion?

 

Scientists had 50 men look at 30 pictures of erotic female nudes (why can't I ever luck out and get asked to do one of these kind of studies?). The photos were computer-modified so their faces subtly resembled either the volunteer in question or another volunteer. All the men in question were white, clean-shaven heterosexual university students of normal weight without facial tattoos or piercings, and none of the men recognized the erotica had been computer-modified or resembled them.

 

Before the volunteers looked at the nude pictures, they put their hands in either comfortable body-temperature water or painfully cold water. Tests of heart rate and blood pressure, as well as of saliva to check for the stress hormone cortisol, all confirmed the cold water stressed the men while the warm water did not.

 

When the volunteers looked at the erotica, relaxed men found nudes whose faces resembled them more pleasant. Stress, on the other hand, made the men reverse their preferences. I'm also guessing that having their hand in a bowl of water also made them want to tinkle.
