Manly voices arouse women
• Gender Studies
Oh, how I love sex research. No area of research better lends itself to small data sets, irrational assumptions and is more likely to keep some people awake at night.
Sarah Evans, a part-time psychology lecturer and PhD student, found that women consider deep voices more attractive, dominant, masculine, sexy, assertive, confident and friendly. ...
The interim findings also revealed that physical and vocal attractiveness seem to be related. When participants listened to male voices and then independently viewed photographs of the speakers’ faces without hearing them speak, men with attractive faces were also found to have attractive voices. This could be because the male hormone testosterone which determines the pitch of the voice also determines some facial features such as a strong jawline which most women find attractive.
