Deep male voices are perceived as more attractive and formidable, but does this hold up when a listener can actually see who's speaking? A new paper from #RSOS tested this: doi.org/10.1098/rsos... @drboothroyd.bsky.social @jrut.bsky.social

That’s sort of what I was searching for, but the only bad ones were basically asking why we ran a study that we didn’t actually run…
Oh good! Tempted to reply to some of the comments too, although it’s probably not worth the hassle…
Oh no
New paper from my ex PhD student @jrut.bsky.social! Lots of research on sexual selection and the human voice uses audio-only stimuli - what happens when you can see the person who's talking? A deeper voice can still make you sound more dominant but deep voices were not rated more attractive.
