According to studies, men with the lowest-pitched voices were deemed by women most likely to cheat - and most attractive. Similarly, men thought women with the highest-pitched voices were foxier and more prone to infidelity. According to David Feinberg, an assistant professor in the department of psychology, neuroscience and behavior. "If these people are more attractive, they're more likely to be in a relationship. Because of their hormones, they're more likely to be promiscuous. And, because they're more attractive, their partners are more likely to let them get away with it."
Some studies suggested that deep voices in men are associated with higher testosterone levels. That means prolonged interest in sex beyond their current committed relationship.
The study concluded that the results are not based on some sort of general or cultural bias; rather, this perception is a biological “adaptive heuristic” that helps women identify potentially unfaithful men. However, the study didn’t really address how women ultimately view men with deep voices and how they reconcile the attractive trait of dominance with the unattractive trait of infidelity.
