This research is one of the important studies in my own understanding of the world. I think it's the type of thing people are cautious to talk about too much because it might drive a certain type of person crazy and lead them to overcompensate in weird/destructive ways.<p>I also remember there's a study on how hormonal birth control (which causes the body to perceive itself as pregnant) affects these preferences too. In some ways we really are "experimenting on production." I also think there's some hesitation to talk about that a lot and come-across as anti-choice.<p>But beliefs must come from the research, not vice-versa.
Findings of TFA: Yes.<p>Women show a robust increase in attraction to cues of ancestral genetic quality (body masculinity, behavioral dominance) on high-fertility days, but only when evaluating men as short-term/unspecified sexual partners, not long-term partners.
Many behaviors are determined by hormones. Men are no exception. When calm, men tend to prefer intellectual women, but when they're impulsive after drinking in a bar, they prefer sexy women.
Do women keep changing their settings in that Gnome 2 fork over the course of their ovulatory cycle?<p>Oh, that kind of mate.
I don't know what an ovulatory cycle feels like; but, I trust Lindsay Doe's account [0] of how she feels across a given period.<p>[0] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLXxxHVOeec" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLXxxHVOeec</a> 11 minutes
It's 2026, and I still can't read a PDF on mobile.<p>I must be doing something wrong. I'm using FF Focus. Is that it? I tried Safari. Either they moved the reader button, or it's not present for PDFs. Help me Obi-Wan.
Yes, it does from follicular to ovulation...
