Is it true that on birth control you would be more attracted to a feminine-looking man?

Women de-emphasize the priority that they place on masculine-type cues in male faces, voices, and behaviors.

Have you heard of this women saying to you, Sarah, oh my gosh, I got off the pill and I'm not even in love with my husband?
