Women with larger chins are more likely to cheat on their partners, according to research

Psychologists have found that adult females who have prominent chins are more sexually active than those with softer features, yet are less attractive to men looking for a long-term partner.

Larger chins on women are often caused by a high level of the male growth hormone testosterone, present in all women in various amounts. (Well, that explains those East German Female weightlifters from the late 60s.)

The hormone also increases sexual assertiveness in a woman, a tendency more commonly attributed to males.

The researchers, from four universities across the US and Canada, took a group of young women and questioned them on their sexual histories and fantasies.  (Do you ever wonder if some of these researchers are just bored beyond belief, and happen to have a little grant money left over to spend on some of these scientific studies?)

These women were then rated by a group of men on their desirability as a life partner.

It was concluded that men will shun women with such masculine features when looking for a long-term partner because they fear being cuckolded. (This has nothing to do with raising chickens, my Dear Reader.)

Psychologists believe it is linked to their evolutionary desire to have a partner who will produce children for only one man.  (What about our evolutionary desire to have someone else spear the Mammoth, barbecue it, and get us a beer to two also!!)

Authors of the study, published in the journal Personality And Individual Differences, said: "The findings are important in demonstrating that perceptions of women as desirable and trustworthy long-term mates can be reliably gleaned by men from viewing only the women's facial features. (This study was done by men right?)

"Results suggest that information about women's sexual unrestrictedness, which is related to their risk of infidelity, can potentially be conveyed by the masculinity of women's faces."  (If your son ever says to you, I want a woman just like Dad, take his science books away!!)

The theory has many examples in the celebrity world.  (And then they only give two examples!!!???)

Actress Meg Ryan, 47, who has a strong chin, famously cheated on her husband Dennis Quaid with her co-star Russell Crowe.

However, the actress Joanne Woodward, who has a dainty jawline, was happily married for 50 years to Hollywood icon Paul Newman until his death in September. (She was married to PAUL NEWMAN!!!!  How could she not remain faithful!! No offense was meant to Mr. Quaid)

(Would Ms Zena - or maybe Mistress Zena would be better - be considered a large chinned manly women who is hormone induced to cheat?) 

Dr Lorne Campbell, a psychologist from Western Ontario University, who took part in the project, wrote: "It is difficult to conceal physical features, such as facial characteristics, that are partly governed by testosterone and reliably correlate with one's sexual history and attitudes.

The research is the first to our knowledge to suggest that a more masculine facial appearance in women might convey their sexual unrestrictedness and perhaps their long-term mate quality."  (This study mentions nothing about the way the women are dressed, or if the men were only showed face pictures, that would have a lot of bearing on the outcome.)   

Dr. Oh says: If this study is followed to a logical conclusion, "Manly Women" should be found to be more popular in the dating circuit,  and "Womenly Women" would be more popular as a feeling for commitment and marriage comes slowly to the male brain.  Over all, "Dr. Oh states. " Geeesss these guys are scientists/researchers who have spent way too much time in labs and on science research.  Get out of the Lab!!! Find a woman!!"
