Details

Miller and colleagues (2007) tested the hidden-estrus theory, which suggests that unlike other female mammals, humans do not experience an estrus phase during which they are more sexually receptive, proceptive, selective and attractive. If this theory is wrong then human men should find women most attractive during the fertile phase of their menstrual cycle compared to the pre-fertile (menstrual) and post-fertile (luteal) phase. Miller used the tips obtained by dancers at a lap dancing club as a proxy for their sexual attractiveness and also recorded the phase of the dancer's menstrual cycle during a given shift, and whether they were using hormonal contraceptives. Dancers provided data from between 9 to 29 of their shifts.
