This may be because partnering with deeper-voiced men could lead to genetically healthier children. Yet research shows women generally prefer deeper voiced, more masculine-sounding men, especially when these women are near ovulation. But did you know that voices can also signal a person’s attractiveness, fertility and even the likelihood of them being unfaithful?Ī popular theory with evolutionary psychologists, known as "cads versus dads", suggests that more masculine, dominant men are not as paternal and generally invest less in their children and grandchildren than less masculine men. For example, Donald Trump’s voice can signal to you that he is a man, and that he has passed middle age. Even without listening to the words, when you hear someone speak you can pick up important information about them from characteristics such as how loud or deep their voice is.Īt the most basic level, voices convey biological characteristics such as whether someone is male or female, their body size and physical strength, age and sexual maturity.
Most likely you can hear their voices in your mind, and the characteristic inflections that they put on certain words, as well as their tone and pitch. Picture Morgan Freeman, Donald Trump or Margaret Thatcher.
