Scientists at the University of Aberdeen said women will use the pitch of a voice to assess genetic quality as well as behavioural traits when looking for a long-term partner, such as anti-social behaviour and lack of emotional warmth. The pitch of a voice is very important to women looking for a long-term partner. They use it to assess genetic quality as well as behavioral traits such as antisocial behaviour and lack of emotional warmth.

And when they come to evaluate potential partners, women rely on their memories to quickly provide information about the attributes and past behaviour of their suitor. In the first experiment, 45 women were initially shown an image of a single object while listening to the name of the object spoken either by a high or low pitch male or female manipulated voice.
