No surprises here.\
\
\"Heterosexual male gym rats, rejoice! Women, when asked in a study to judge photos of men\'s bodies, rated the strongest men as the most attractive. Height and leanness were appealing attributes, too, but strength played an outsize role in the ratings of a man\'s torso, per a report published Tuesday in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.\
\
"No one will be surprised by the idea that strong men are more attractive," said study author Aaron Lukaszewski, an evolutionary psychologist at California State University at Fullerton. "It\'s no secret that women like strong, muscular guys."\
\
There was no nuance to these results, he said. Zero of the 160 women surveyed showed a statistical preference for weaker men.\"\
