• Cross-Cultural Variation in Mate Preferences for Averageness, Symmetry, Body Size, and Masculinity (2013, background): “…were beyond the scope of this review, such as neoteny, skin texture, or breast size, vary cross-culturally, as well as how physical traits relate to one another (perhaps dynamically) in their relative contributions to assessments of attractiveness or in mate choice (e.g., Currie & Little, 2009).”
• More than just a pretty face: Men's priority shifts toward bodily attractiveness in short-term versus long-term mating contexts (2010, result): “The obtained pattern of results mirrors the findings of Currie and Little (2009) who showed that ratings of facial attractiveness better predicted overall attractiveness than did ratings of bodily attractiveness.”
