Research Topic

Topic: Physical appeal, attractiveness, females 

Research Question: How do physical attributions of a man affect their attractiveness in the eyes of a women? How does a man's economic status affect their attractiveness rating to women?

Reason: I chose this topic and research question because, there are many things that we are biologically programmed to see in a potential mate even if we are not aware of it. There are many traits that can make a man attractive or unattractive to a woman and it is interesting to see to what extent it factors into a women's choice when rating them.
