A domain-specific opposite-sex bias in human preferences for manipulated voice pitch. (2010, background): “…vocal attractiveness in men and women is associated with other putative indices of health and fertility (e.g. facial attractiveness, Collins & Missing 2003; low waist - hip ratio in women or high shoulder - hip ratio in men, Hughes et al. 2004; low fluctuating asymmetry, Hughes et al. 2002, 2008).”
Correlated preferences for men's facial and vocal masculinity (2008, background): “Both men and women with attractive voices and faces also tend to have attractive body configurations, such as low fluctuating asymmetry in women (Hughes, Harrison, & Gallup, 2002) and a masculine upper-body shape in men (Hughes et al., 2004).”
Intrasexual competition among women: Vocal femininity affects perceptions of attractiveness and flirtatiousness (2011, background): “This is because a number of considerations beyond physical attractiveness, such as personality, intelligence, parenting ability, and fidelity (Buss & Schmitt, 1993; Greitemeyer, 2007; Li, 2007; Little, Cohen, Jones, & Belsky, 2007; Regan, Levin, Sprecher, Christopher, & Cate, 2000) go into selecting”

Vocal and Facial Attractiveness Judgments of Children, Adolescents and Adults: the Ontogeny of Mate Choice (2006, unknown): “This study is concerned with judgments of male facial and vocal attractiveness, both of which correlate with mating success as measured by number of sexual partners (Hughes et al. 2004; Rhodes et al. 2005).”
Vocal and Physiological Changes in Response to the Physical Attractiveness of Conversational Partners (2010, background): “Vocal attractiveness is also signiﬁcantly correlated with other physical markers of ﬁtness and hormonal status (e.g., waist-to-hip ratio in women and shoulder-to-hip ratio in men), in addition to predicting numerous sexual behaviors (Hughes et al. 2004).”
The Science of Sex Appeal: An Evolutionary Perspective (2010, background): “Using a large questionnaire administered to over 1,000 college students, Hughes et al. (2007) found evidence for some interesting but not altogether unexpected sex differences in kissing. Women, for example, placed more emphasis on kissing in romantic relationships than did men. Women are not only m”
Self-rated attractiveness predicts individual differences in women's preferences for masculine men's voices (2008, background): “…Caryl, & Roberts, 2006), suggesting that men’s facial and vocal attractiveness are cues to a common underlying quality (Saxton et al., 2006; see also Hughes et al., 2004), sources of individual differences in women’s face preferences may also predict variation in women’s voice preferences…”
Handgrip strength predicts sexual behavior, body morphology, and aggression in male college students (2007, background): “We deliberately chose not to measure SHR in females and WHR in males because the way these features correlate with other variables of interest is largely sex specific (see Hughes, Dispenza, & Gallup, 2004 ).”
From Dating to Mating and Relating: Predictors of Initial and Long–Term Outcomes of Speed–Dating in a Community Sample (2011, background): “…relationship in order to study the impact of short- versus long-term interest on the tendency to engage in mating (sexual intercourse) versus relating (establishing a serious romantic relationship) during the year following the speed-dating event (short- versus long-term interest hypotheses).”
