Do you agree that women pick men this way?

According to this story on Yahoo! News, women pick men for marriage if they have softer features, and for flings if they have more "masculine" features. Seems to make sense, but do you disagree?

    I read that same article, but every person is different. I know for myself I would probably go for someone who has stronger features since that is what I am most attracted to. I dont think there is any corelation between your features and your personality like the article suggests. I would probably marry a guy who has stronger features, i would have to look at him for the rest of my life. But in the end its what the man has to offer not how strong a chin he has.

    I would say I have to agree, but I'd rather go for a guy somewhere in the middle for marriage. The guys I've met that had the more masculine features were a bit more cocky about themselves, I wonder if that was a factor?

    "Men understand women a lot better than women understand men. For example, all such lists are written by men" The list is an example of how much someone understands !?. LMFAO. The only time I have ever come across lists such as these was at high school. People who have actually experienced the world do not think so simplistically.

    I guess that this is something new. It throws the whole cave man theory right out the window. It use to be that women pick the bigger robust man because it was thought that they could offer them protection and security. It was also said that the more robust or voluptuous woman was ideal because they looked like they were more able to nature a baby.

    it is right, but not all women are the same, women pick more masculin guys for flings because it never really seems to work out with them, only if the guy is also wanting a full relationship. the more feminized guys are more adaptable for the choice.

    That sounds about right. It depends, flings can turn into anything. I first started dating my husband a few years ago because he's gorgeous. Then I fell in love with him when I saw his "softer" side.

    I think that there is a lot of factor that make us decide which guy we like to marry. For me, more that money or status he has to be a friend, a lover, my other half, comprehensive, understand me, there has to be trust and love. There is more facts but those grow with the time. And all this has to be in equal parts ... from him to her and from her to him.

    Money don't make happiness, and when is gone everything fall... I think that in these day the true meaning of love, live and married is corrupted with materialism.

    I totally disagree. Us women pick men not just because of looks. Some women might, but most of us search for someone who we can talk to, who we get along with, and who we think we possibly want to spend the rest of our lives with .( Exept those who aren't looking for a serious relationship.)

    Really depends more on tastes I believe. But generally, women have been known to go less on looks when it comes to the final one. It seems natural selection on financial security is more attractive.

    I pick men by their personality and sense of humor...looks are secondary. I haven't really noticed a common factor in any of the men that I've dated.
