The Ideal Husband

理想的丈夫
科学现在可能可以解释女性对布拉德·皮特面容和乔治·克鲁尼眼睛的迷恋。新的研究显示，女性似乎是根据男性特征的情况来判断选择配偶的。具有方形的下颌和轮廓清晰的眉骨的男性被视为理想的短期伴侣，而具有女性特征比如圆脸和厚嘴唇的男性则被视为更合适的长期伴侣。
丹尼尔在密歇根大学进行的一项研究中，854个调查对象观看了通过数字化使得男性特征变得更突出或更不显眼的一系列头部镜头。然后她们回答了期望镜头中的男性是如何表现的。
大多数的调查对象认为那些面部特征更阳刚的男性可能会更危险，更好胜，更好斗，更倾向于挑战上司，欺骗配偶和不愿意承担起做家长的责任。那些具有较女性化面孔的男性则被视为是好父亲和好丈夫，努力工作和支持伴侣的人选。
尽管所有的这些消极特征，但当问到她们会选择谁作为短期伴侣，女性却选择了看上去阳刚的男性。具有方形下颌和轮廓清晰的眉骨的布拉德·皮特和乔治·克鲁尼被视为是短暂恋情的理想人选，但他们不适合作长期的伴侣。
这项研究发表在第十二期美国《人际关系》杂志上。
Kruger认为从进化的角度看这这项研究成果很有道理。研究认为是睾丸激素和荷尔蒙决定男性面部特征和其它性别特征的发育。
这项研究还发现影响人体抵御疾病的因素，那就是体内荷尔蒙水平高的男性通常更强壮和健康。这些特征是女性愿意遗传给下一代的。然而增长的荷尔蒙又会导致伴侣关系中的欺骗和暴力。所以Kruger说，这些男性可能会有高质量的后代，但他们不会是称职的父亲和忠实的伴侣。
观相术把某些面部特征和行为特征联系在一起，对此学术界持怀疑态度。但Kruger争辩说这个研究是一个了解选择配偶策略的有价值的工具。当然这也可以解释为什么梁朝伟和Takeshi Kanesshiro拥有数以百万计的女影迷。这或许和他们的基因有关系。或许和我们的基因有关系。
