People with this face shape have more frequent sexual contacts and more prone to cheating on their partners.

Researchers from Ontario have discovered that those with wider facial features look more aggressive, but at the same time more sexually attractive. People who have broader facial features, are more likely to have a greater propensity for casual sex.

People with wide, square faces have a higher sexual preferences and most likely are deceiving, as revealed in the study.

A team led by psychologist Stephen Enoki at the University of Nipissing Ontario in Canada, studied the faces of the 145 students that have relationships with the opposite sex, and interviewed them about their sex life.

Individuals with wider faces are more relaxed attitude to casual sex and they had seen such facts as rudeness, prejudices and psychopathic traits.

They are also more likely to be rich or more attractive to the opposite sex for casual sex for one night.

The researchers hope that the results of their research will shed light on the role of facial features in sexual relationships when selecting partners.

Each student filled a questionnaire about their interpersonal relationships, sexual attraction, sexual orientation, when they could be called cheating.

They were also asked about sociosexual orientation - as a measure of how comfortable they are to casual sex, and how many times they masturbated in a month.

Researchers photographed each subject to analyze the ratio of their width to face height.

Previously, Dr. Lefebvre found that men with wider faces have higher testosterone levels, but warns from the simplified relationship to the final results.

"It is important to remember that we here observe a relatively small correlation", she said.

"This means that there is a tendency that people with wider faces have more sexual encounters, and not something that every person with a relatively broad face is a sex maniac".

Previous experiments have found that people with wider faces have features of behavior and character, including prejudice, psychopathy, financial success, ambition, questionable ethics, and attractiveness.
