Abstract
Though female attractiveness is one of the most widely studied variables in the human mating literature, there has been no attempt to quantify its relation with female mate value. I propose that the possibility of mapping female attractiveness onto mate value in the form of a curve should be explored. The curve will differ for short and long-term mating contexts and across individual males. The area under each curve could be used as a concise and global measure of male choosiness. I suggest a possible method of empirically deriving this curve, whereby male participants make forced choices between sets of female stimuli.
