Guys with bulldog-like faces have been chick magnets throughout human evolutionary history.
A recent study of the skulls of human ancestors and modern humans finds that women, and thereby evolution, selected for males with relatively short upper faces.
The region between the brow and the upper-lip is scrunched proportionately to the overall size of their heads.
Among the men who fit the bill: Will Smith and Brad Pitt.
In a past study, researchers found a similar facial pattern in chimpanzees, with males having relatively shorter and broader faces compared with females, controlling for body size.
Men with "mini mugs" might have been most attractive to the opposite sex and thus most likely to attract mates for reproduction, passing along the striking features to the next generation and so forth, said lead study author Eleanor Weston, a paleontologist at the Natural History Museum in London.

It depends on what the author of the study looks like.
Something about Will Smith’s face makes it hard for me to take him serious in movies. I think it’s cause he looks so goofy with those big ears and all.
Pitt is a pretty boy...
Women’s only concern is about the size of the thing in your pants.
No, not that silly.
Your wallet.
It would sure make a good story, if true! But notice the eyes, distance from pupil to pupil...I guess colored lenses could explain that...
Ping?
Yeah, I get that all the time.
Three questions:
1. Who the hell is Rupert Grint?
2. Are those two pictures of the same person?
3. Is either one (or both) the aforementioned Grint?
Seriously, I've never even heard that name before and I'm sure I would have remembered someone that homely.
In other words, Paul Begala is still a virgin.
“Does this mean that cavemen looked like women?”
No! It means that cavewomen looked like men! So there was a lot of confusion.
Women like a guy with a big one.
When women see a tough and rough looking guy, like "Duncan MacCloud from the Clan MacCloud" type,(Adrian Paul) larger tougher guy, with real facial hair, with larger toned muscles which promises stamina, ( not peach fuzz, dainty legs and sickly looking like Brad Pitt) They have a vision of more physical, sweaty physically exhausting sex.
With the Brat Pitt types, women need to cover up with a warm blanket afterwards, because they feel a little chilled from being naked.
With the Adrian Paul types, they need to stay naked and turn on a fan to cool off.
Also, it's not only a conscious attraction, more of a subconscious chemical one, natural selection of the strongest (therefore healthier) over the weakest,(indicating sickly and weak.)
The "tards" are the ping list members - not necessarily the subject of the thread.
Was I the only one who wasn’t really torn up when Juliet Lewis bit the dust in that movie? Good grief was she annoying!!!
