Do You Have the Face of a Wife? a New Study Suggests Such a Thing Exists

The shape of your face could possibly play a role in determining how long your relationships last, according to a new study. Let me explain.

So, apparently, some researchers in Europe asked a bunch of dudes to look at composite pictures of women's faces and had them decide which ones they would choose for long-term relationship and which ones they'd have a fling with. What they found was that the women with the softest, most feminine features (a smaller chin or fuller cheeks) were more likely to be rated as a fling and the ones with squarer jaws and high cheekbones were more on the long-term end. Why? Well, they don't know, but they're theorizing that the feminine feature are seen as prettier, which means the women have more options and may cheat. A weak explanation, if you ask me, but interesting findings nonetheless. Read more about it all at www.cvtnews.ca.
