Yeah, I think I stumbled on that the other day from a link someone posted here.

Sounds like plausible but unproven science. I do wonder about actually testing my own testosterone levels though, whether I can do that cheaply. I also wonder how far testosterone levels change in a day, in a week, and so on. Like how the nofap guys says that after a week of not masturbating, your testosterone levels spike up. On a tangent, I know after really good sex I have unusual clarity of the mind, maybe because my testosterone levels have decreased.

My guess is that women basically select for testosterone, or at least the outward manifestations of testosterone. Higher levels of testosterone are more attractive to women, but too much testosterone, the hyper-masculine, becomes socially dangerous.

I say all this also thinking that it is actually silly to think that testosterone is the only hormone relevant for masculinity. That said, I think it is the main one, and I'm definitely interested in learning more about it.
