Scientists from Stirling, Chester and Liverpool universities found that beautiful women seem to realise they can pick and choose their mates, whereas an attractive man with a more ordinary woman seemed to be more content and less likely to stray, reports the Telegraph.

The analysis showed that in relationships pairing a "beauty" with an average man, it tended to last only a matter of months.

Rob Burriss, one of the researchers, said: "This would indicate it is the woman who is in control of whether the relationship continues."

He added that beautiful women may realise they can afford to pick and choose.

The work was published in the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.
