The Discovery Channel has suggested that most of us are drawn to the opposite sex who got a strong dose of sex hormones during puberty.
Why is this? A very masculine face in a man suggests high levels of testosterone and a woman’s face that is feminine suggests that she has high levels of estrogen and progesterone signaling a healthy reproductive system. This indicates good health and fertility.
Check out the video below, which delineates the process sex hormones have on individuals:
People can debate all day if someone’s face is attractive, but research seems to show that people with more testosterone have a significantly impaired ability to recognize faces. See here:

So while the face might be attractive, they have to get along, too, and that’s a whole other issue 🙂
