“Women associate muscles with being fit and healthy,”
A study from the University of Arkansas revealed that women are more attracted to muscular men when it comes to flings and short-term romances, but they are less superficial when choosing someone to be their life partner. “Women associate muscles with being fit and healthy,” said professor Mitch Brown of his research. “However, in a long-term context, it was important to find a kind person who will support his family [beyond physicality].”
“Nice guys who make friendly jokes can actually finish first when it comes to attracting a woman looking for a long-term relationship,” Dr. Brown continued.
