Actor Russell Crowe: a man with macho features

What monkey runs BBC Online's Pictures and Captions department?

They found those taking the pill were more likely to choose macho men, and to rate men with more feminine, softer physical features as a turn off.

However, the researchers say it is these men who tend to be more sensitive, and more likely to making trustworthy and faithful husbands.

WHAT?! Where does the assertion that a strong jawline = untrustworthy come from?

I've heard of a study in which women smelled men's T-shirts and their preferences flip-flopped according to whether they were on the pill or not, but this whole "Women on the pill choose untrustworthy macho assholes" slant is something totally new.

Maybe men with strong jawlines are believed to be less-faithful because, as the article states, women not on the pill are more likely to pick a macho guy for a fling. So macho guys are more likely to get caught cheating because they're more likely to get the woman they're cheating with pregnant, whereas sweetie manboys get picked by women on the pill and it all stays secret.

Corrrelation does not equal causation. This research is so sloppy I can't believe it is being reported on. It's like the National Enquirer of science studies. Oh yeah, and my left ovary made me say that.
