Slightly feminine men have better relationship prospects with women without losing short-term desirability

A recent study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior has found that slightly feminine men tend to have better prospects for long-term romantic relationships with women while maintaining their desirability as short-term sexual partners. The findings provide initial evidence that genes linked to male same-sex attraction persist because they confer a reproductive advantage to heterosexual men by increasing traits associated with femininity and paternal care.
