Well it is not rocket science to see how the majority of men in public arena who are considered handsome and desirable are masculine and yes this has been backed up by studies. For example:

Women are generally sexually attracted to all the standard masculine clues that our society promotes even though they assume such men are less likely to be a faithful and reliable partner. So they end up compromising their idealized sexual attraction to team up with an effeminate man who they hope will be more reliable and a better parent.
I doubt if there is much correlation between how good your partner is based upon their masculinity/femininity but that is the perception that is out there.
