The study, which has been published online in the journal Personality and Individual Differences, also found that men with low-pitched voices, while better at attracting women, are also seen to be more likely to cheat and therefore are not viewed as marriage material.
The research provided insights into the evolution of the human voice and mate selection.
Dr Jillian O'Connor, from McMaster University in Canada, said: "The sound of someone's voice can affect how we think of them.
"Until now, it's been unclear why women would like the voices of men who might cheat. But we found that the more women thought these men would cheat, the more they were attracted to them for a brief relationship when they are less worried about fidelity."
For the study, 87 women listened to men's voices that had been manipulated to sound higher or lower, before being asked who they thought was more likely to cheat. Participants were also asked to choose the voice they found more attractive for long or short relationships.
Dr David Feinberg, from the Department of Psychology, Neuroscience and Behaviour at McMaster University, added: "From an evolutionary perspective, these perceptions of future sexual infidelity may be adaptive.
"The consequences of infidelity are very high, whether it is emotional of financial, and this research suggests that humans have evolved as a protection mechanism to avoid long-term partners who may cheat."
Previous research has suggested that both men and women change the tonality in their voice when speaking to their partner or a potential love interest.
The results, which were published in the Journal of Nonverbal Behaviour, looked at how people alter their voices when speaking to romantic partners versus same-sex friends during brief telephone conversations. When speaking to a romantic partner, women will use a lower pitch, while men will employ a higher one.

Men With Lower Voices 'Are More Attractive'
A new study has revealed that men with lower, deeper voices are better at attracting women than men with higher, 'squeaky' voices.The study, which has been published online in the journal Personality and Individual Differences, also found that men with low-pitched voices, while better at attracting women, are also seen to be more likely to cheat and therefore are not viewed as marriage material.
