Women with high levels of the hormone estradiol tend to be less satisfied with their partners and more likely to cheat, according to new research published today in the Royal Society's Journal Biology Letters . They are also considered to be significantly more attractive by themselves and by others.
Scientists from the University of Texas measured levels of the hormone in 53 women aged 17 to 30.
