避孕药影响女性对另一半的偏好
Contrary to popular belief, a strong jaw and masculine looks may not be what all women want, a new study has revealed. 
一项新研究揭示，和大众观念相反，不是所有女人都喜欢强壮的下巴和男性化的外表。
Women taking the contraceptive pill actually prefer men with more effeminate（柔弱的） looks - a trait associated with faithfulness and stability.

Women using the birth control pill were found to rate men with less masculine（男性的） faces higher in terms of attractiveness compared to non-users.
In couples who first met when the woman was on the pill, the male partners were less likely to have 'manly' faces than those who met when the woman was off the pill. 
Millions of women use hormonal forms of contraception and some studies, including this one, indicate the Pill could affect partner preferences. 
If supported, these findings could have important implications for how relationships are formed, reported Live Science.
The study, detailed on Saturday in the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology, compared the romantic preferences of straight women ages 18 to 24 who were taking oral contraception against those who were not.
