Does anybody have access to the PDF?

I'd be interested in effect size in particular. The abstract only says "profound".

Study 1 - Likelihood of winning pitch competition. Gender and attractiveness:

  Male/High       0.39
  Male/Low        0.29 n=70, p=0.042

  Female/High     0.21
  Female/Low      0.18 n=20, difference not significant

Study 3 - Likelihood of investment on scale from 1 (low) to 7 (high)
  Male/High       5.21
  Male/Low        4.59 p=0.024

  Female/High     4.14
  Female/Low      4.35 difference not significant

  Each participant rated 1 pitch, n=520
