Facial attractiveness in male androgyny : having both male and female physical characteristics by Lim, Grace Zhuo Yah, Lim, Nichole Jie Qi

“…Although previous research has established the attractiveness of sex-typicality, proof that physically androgynous (PA) faces are attractive has also been found. Specifically, PA men have been found to be desirable by some. This review seeks to explain this, as more focused research is required in examining the reasons behind the attraction towards PA men. …”
