weigh up whether he will be a committed partner who will provide for them well part of their survival programming.they tested men and womens preference towards looks by conducting a series of tests on 20 women and 20 men, making them perform tasks while recording their brain activity.while the subjects were doing the task they were shown a series of photographs of faces of the opposite sex, ranging from attractive to ugly.men were easily distracted when they saw a pretty face but women stuck to the task.prof van vugt said: “men definitely have the most wandering eye but it is because they have evolved to pay attention to cues of fertility and one of those cues is facial beauty its not that men are shallow.”but we found they do make snap judgments about women, much earlier than was previously thought. they make that decision on whether a woman would be a good mating partner in milliseconds.this is something very ancient and a way of helping men find the best mate to produce children.women were not distracted by attractive male faces because women need more proof of whether a man is a good mate.“women make that decision on behaviour, whether a man is trustworthy and committed. they make their decision much later than men.”28. men like the women whose faces are beautiful because they think . a. the women are very beautiful b. the women are the only they love c.
