Both spouses tended to behave more positively when wives were more attractive than their husbands and more negatively when husbands were more attractive than their wives,” said the study by UCLA.
The study found that physical attraction for long term compatablilty was much more important to men than women.
“Physical attractiveness is not as important to women, in contrast, relative attractiveness may only affect them through its effect on their husbands,” the study says.
