Scientists have reportedly identified a hormone responsible for both giving a woman to-die-for curves and making her unable to keep a steady relationship.
Using Marilyn Monroe, the late movie star known both for her curves and love affairs, as an example, researchers tried to find a link between women’s physical attractiveness and their inability to be faithful.
Dailymail.co.uk reports that scientists found that women found with more oestradiol, a form of oestrogen, are those who have a symmetrical face and desirable curves. However, they are also less satisfied with their current lovers, based on findings published in the Royal Society's journal Biology Letters. This ovarian steroid hormone reportedly makes such women use their attractiveness to snag the best partners they could find.
According to Dr. Kristina Durante of the University of Texas in the US, “Physically attractive women may not only have more alternatives but also high standards that are difficult to satisfy. Accordingly, they have fewer reasons to be committed to any particular partner if higher quality potential mates are available.”
The study was performed by observing 52 female students, who were asked how attractive they found themselves to be and whose appeal were also rated by others. Those in relationships were also asked how satisfied they were with their current flames and if there’s a chance they would cheat, which led to the analysis that “the most beautiful women felt the least satisfied with their lot.”
So what can you say about these findings, dear FN readers? Do you agree with them?
