The Power of Low Voices in Relationships

Low voices make partners more attractive for relationships, according to scientists. Researchers conducted an experiment and asked people from 22 countries to listen to recordings of male and female voices of varying pitch and evaluate the attractiveness and character of their owners. It turned out that women were more attracted to men with low voices, and people of the same gender perceived them as more authoritative and intimidating, especially in competitive societies. Men preferred women with high voices for short-term relationships, while for long-term relationships they preferred women with low voices.
