There was study conducted on how women choose their partner.
They found an interesting fact.

Quote:

"Women from countries with poorer health did prefer masculine men more."

The finding shows that mating choices may differ according to country and culture, but this is only because of variations in the local environment, said DeBruine. Underneath, women share a similar biological drive.

In previous research, DeBruine found that women who were more easily disgusted by cues of pathogens (such as men with open sores) were also likelier to prefer masculine-type fellows.
