| Summary: | Women’s preferences for masculinity in men’s faces seem to vary across the menstrual cycle and are assumed to be strongest around ovulation.

Furthermore, mating preferences are context-dependent, and stress has been found to alter mate choice, both in animals and humans. Currently, the effects of stress on women’s preference for masculinity remain unknown. |
