Symmetry, sexual dimorphism in facial proportions and male facial attractiveness
TLDR
Here, real and computer graphic male faces are used in order to demonstrate that symmetric faces are more attractive, but not reliably more masculine than less symmetry faces and that asymmetric faces possess characteristics that are attractive independent of symmetry, but that these characteristics remain at present undefined.

Partnership status and the temporal context of relationships influence human female preferences for sexual dimorphism in male face shape
TLDR
It is found that preferences for masculinity are increased when women either have a partner or are considering a short–term relationship, and that individuals using oral contraception do not show the above effects, indicating that such hormonal intervention potentially disrupts women's choices for evolutionarily relevant benefits from males.

Correlated preferences for facial masculinity and ideal or actual partner's masculinity
TLDR
It is shown that women's preferences for masculinity manipulated in male faces using techniques similar to the three most widely used methods are positively inter-related and positively related to ratings of the masculinity of their actual partner and their ideal partner.
