Beauty may lie not just in the eyes of the beholder, but in their ears as well! Men can judge the attractiveness of a woman just by hearing her talk, according to a new study which found that females with an attractive face also have appealing voices.
"People can make quite reliable guesses about women's facial attractiveness on the basis of their voices," said Markus Koppensteiner, an anthropologist at Vienna University. "Attractive voices may create an idea about what a woman will look like," said Koppensteiner.
Koppensteiner and his colleagues photographed the faces of 42 women before measuring their body symmetry and recording their voices, 'The Sunday Times' reported. One group of men then evaluated their looks and another their voices. The team found those rated highly for appearance also scored well for the way they sounded.
Previous research has suggested women also pay close attention to men's voices, preferring a deeper pitch because they associate it with a larger body size.
