AB  - OBJECTIVES: Strategic Pluralism Theory contends that human mating strategies are 
      calibrated toward short-term (ST) or long-term (LT) mating according to the 
      expression of condition-dependent traits and characteristics of the social and 
      physical environment. Traits reflecting the effects of testosterone have been 
      considered condition-dependent traits that provide information about the 
      calibration of male mating strategy. We investigated the relationship of muscle 
      mass and facial masculinity with attitudes and behaviors reflecting ST and LT 
      mating tactics. METHODS: We measured skeletal muscle mass (SMM) through 
      bioelectrical impedance and facial width-to-height ratio (fWHR) in a sample of 
      Chilean men (n = 206; mean age = 22.52 +/- 4.65 SD), and collected information 
      about sociosexual attitudes and past sexual behavior. RESULTS: Our results showed 
      an interaction effect of SMM and fWHR on unrestricted (but not restricted) 
      sociosexual attitudes and past sexual behavior. Individuals with a consistent 
      expression of both traits (ie, high SMM and fWHR or low SMM and fWHR) reported 
      higher levels of unrestricted sociosexual attitudes and a greater number of 
      lifetime and previous-year sexual partners. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest 
      that the intensity and consistency of expression of body and facial masculinity 
      is important in signaling male mating tactics and sociosexual attitudes.
