Studies have shown that viewing images of attractive females can trigger immediate reward-seeking behavior in men, making them more likely to choose smaller, immediate rewards over larger, delayed ones. Conversely, when men view images of unattractive females or neutral objects like cars, this effect is diminished, and they are more inclined to opt for larger rewards that come later. This behavior is thought to be linked to evolutionary psychology, where the presence of an attractive potential mate signals an opportunity for immediate reproductive success, thus shifting preferences towards immediate gratification.
