Men value body over face when it comes to getting a bit of nookie

When looking to get a bit of nookie men value a woman's body over her face, a new study has found.

Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin found that if a man wanted a short-term sexual relationship, he would be more interested in a woman's body.

However, if he was looking for a long-term adulterous relationship, he would be more focused on her face.

Study co-author Jaime Confer said: "Men's priorities shift depending on what they want in a mate, with facial features taking on more importance when a long-term relationship is the goal.

"Mating is central to the engine of natural selection. This research helps clarify people's preference."

Confer added that she and her fellow researchers may now look into the relationship between faces and bodies in terms of potential rivals to see which aspect is more threatening.

The report said: "Participants will be asked if they want to see the faces or bodies of potential rivals who may be stealing their mates.

"That could help reveal if men and women feel more threatened by a pretty face or a good body."
