However, new research suggests that unfaithful men can be detected from the moment you meet them with a simple look at their face. Getty Images In a study published by Royal Society Open Science, experts revealed that men with more ‘masculine’ facial features were more likely to cheat on their partners. This was concluded after a group of heterosexual participants were presented with a series of photographs of 189 white men and women and asked to judge them on a scale of one to 10 on how likely they were to cheat, going off their appearance alone. As a result, it turned out that the men the participants had selected were in fact the same men who had admitted to cheating on their partner. These men all had ‘masculine’ features such as a strong brow ridge, strong jaw and thinner lips, and were more likely to be perceived as cheaters – a perception which turned out to be accurate as they had indeed confessed to being unfaithful or having a history of chasing women in relationships. Getty Images ‘Perceived unfaithfulness may indeed contain some kernel of trust in male faces,’ said the study’s authors. However, the research team did stress that many other factors need to be considered when deciding whether someone is capable of being unfaithful. ‘The actual unfaithfulness varies in our sample of faces, and 4-8 per cent of this variation is accounted for by the average perceived unfaithfulness of those faces,’ said Dr Yong Zhi Foo, the first author of the research from the University of Western Australia. Similarly, Dr Kristen Knowles, a psychologist from Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh, told The Guardian: ‘We should be aware that these behaviours are incredibly complex, and are likely to be influenced by many factors, including social and cultural effects, personality, genetics and life experiences.’ RELATED ARTICLESMORE FROM AUTHOR Rosie Green Will this be the winter of our discontent Rosie Green Want to find true love Follow your nose Rosie Green I have a love rival – his phone DON' T MISS Trinny London only runs two sales per year – and one November 27, 2020 Shrimps has launched a collection at Next and prices start from June 18, 2021 Superdrug is offering 20 per cent off on hundreds of fragrance December 17, 2020 Dr Clare Bailey A simple solution for sore eyes April 12, 2020 Ainsley Harriott’ s fattoush salad March 22, 2020 Belted dresses are trending thanks to the Duchess of Cambridge May 9, 2022 This four-way tortilla wrap hack is going viral on social media January 14, 2021 How to send a birthday card to Captain Tom Moore for April 21, 2020 This ‘ flattering’ £30 dress is about to become your year-round go-to September 27, 2022 Searches for this beauty treatment are up by more than 600 February 28, 2020 Popular CategoriesFood2704Life2496Fashion2240Beauty1738Celebrity1261Interiors684 Sign up for YOUMail Thanks for subscribing Please check your email to confirm (If you don't see the email, check the spam box) Fashion Beauty Celebrity Life Food Privacy & Cookies T&C Copyright 2022 - YOU Magazine.
