"   Wanna tweak your man&amp;#039;s habits a bit? Lower your voice. According to a new study, both men and women think people who have lower-pitched voices are more authoritative. Uh... Okay. In the study, participants had to choose between candidates with low-pitched or high-pitched voices for school board positions, and more people chose the person with the lower-pitched voice. Researchers aren&amp;#039;t sure how much someone&amp;#039;s voice played into them being chosen, but the results suggest that voice pitch is probably a factor people use in judging others. A previous study discovered that those with deeper voices are perceived as strong, attractive, and socially dominant. So this in turn might mean that a woman with a low voice comes across as having more &amp;quot;masculine&amp;quot; traits like dominance and power. Pwaaah, what?! Slightly sexist, much? Why is dominance and power only related to males? Anyway, these studies prove that people tend to follow the lead of those with deeper voices. So you want your man to cut that shaggy &amp;#039;do of his or kick-up his style a bit? Lower your voice, girl. Want more from Dara? Follow her on Twitter @dadeeyo.
