As women mated to less sexuallyattractive men moved from their least fertile to most fertile period, their closeness scores dropped one point on a seven-point scale.
And that women say that they want men who are supportive of them, who helps with child care and elder care, and that made their husband more sexuallyattractive.
Women who rated their mates as more sexuallyattractive, meanwhile, did not exhibit these changes and instead reported being more satisfied with their relationship at high fertility than at low fertility.
