Male physical attractiveness in Britain and Malaysia: A cross-cultural study (2005, background): “However, these differences are not necessarily inconsistent with an evolutionary explanation, as it might be argued that they represent adaptations to local environmental conditions, rather than arising through different cultures (Sugiyama, 2004; Tovée & Cornelissen, 1991, 2001).”

Weird people, yes, but also weird experiments (2010, unknown): “Efforts to replicate these findings in various small-scale societies have all failed (Marlowe & Wetsman 2001; Sugiyama 2004; Yu & Shepard 1998).”
Cross-Cultural Variation in Mate Preferences for Averageness, Symmetry, Body Size, and Masculinity (2013, background): “…addition to evidence that stimuli used to measure waist-to-hip ratio preferences have been confounded by cues to weight (Furnham et al., 2002; Sugiyama, 2004; Swami & Tovée, 2007), it is not yet possible to say with confidence whether and how preferences for waist-to-hip ratio vary…”
