So how does this affect the female perception of males? Do they go for the dominance and gender identity of the Black faces or the attractiveness, nurturant, and expressive characteristics of the White faces? What about the hybrids?

I remember reading shortly a paper in which it was mentioned that women go for the "masculine looking" types during their fertile days of the month, and for the more "caring ones" the rest of the time.

Yeah, right! This is just a stupid hypothesis in my opinion. I always go for the masculine types whether I'm PMSing or not. Most other females do the same.

Most other females do the same.

The popularity of N*SYNC and Titanic seems to contradict this. Also how do faggy rockers get so many chicks?

Time to whip out the Beeb:

Women's choice of men goes in cycles

"Women are attracted to more masculine-looking men at the most fertile time of their menstrual cycle, psychologists have shown.
During the less fertile times, they choose men with more feminine-looking faces. These are seen as kinder and more co-operative, but less strong and healthy genetically."

and,

Pill changes women's taste in men

"Psychologists have found that women who are taking the pill tend to fancy macho types with strong jaw lines and prominent cheekbones.

However, women who are not taking that form of contraception seem to be more likely to go for more sensitive types without traditionally masculine features."

and from the New York Times,

Nothing Becomes a Man More Than a Woman's Face

In a new study of facial attractiveness, researchers from Scotland and Japan have found that, much to their astonishment, people of both sexes prefer feminine-looking men over rugged, manly-miened men. When shown a series of computerized photographs of young men whose images had been manipulated to make them look either more masculine or more feminine than the norm, viewers designated the artificially feminized faces as somewhat more attractive than the average faces, and more appealing by far than the masculinized versions.

{PS - if anybody is interested these papers are all online}

I mean the research papers.
