Men with low levels of the stress hormone cortisol are more attractive

A team of scientists analyzed hormone levels in young men and showed pictures to a group of women. They found a strong link between low levels of the stress hormone cortisol in men and how attractive they were to the opposite sex. The research also discovered no link between high levels of the sex hormone testosterone and sex appeal. The team also showed that female attraction to men with low stress levels was at its highest during the fertile phase of their cycle. The survey also showed increased attractiveness for men with consistent hormone levels.
