If you want more babies, find a man with a deep voice

Wesley's picture

According to a study recently published in Biology Letters, reproductive-minded women favor men with low-pitched voices and consequently such men have more children than do men with high-pitched voices.

In previous studies, David Feinberg, assistant professor in the Department of Psychology, Neuroscience and Behaviour at McMaster University, and his colleagues have shown that women find deeper male voices to be more attractive, judging them to be more dominant, older, healthier and more masculine sounding. Men, on the other hand, find higher-pitch voices in women more attractive, subordinate, feminine, healthier and younger sounding.

"While we find in this new study that voice pitch is not related to offspring mortality rates,” says Feinberg," we find that men with low voice pitch have higher reproductive success and more children born to them.”

As this study is replicated and publicized we can expect late night TV ads that guarantee to improve your love life via herbal concoctions that promise to lower your voice.
