Answer

Males prefer the 'Younger' attribute to females two-to-one.

Work Step by Step

First, we locate the attributes where males prefer them over females, in which the blue bar is higher than the green bar. The 'Richer' and 'Younger' attributes are the two attributes satisfying the requirement. Males preferring an attribute to females two-to-one means that in the graph, the height of the blue bar doubles that of the green bar. In the 'Richer' attribute, obviously, while the blue bar is higher, it is only slightly higher than the green bar, and hence, cannot indicate males prefer it to females two-to-one. In the 'Younger' attribute, the blue bar reaches over the $0.15$ line of proportion value, while the green bar stays at the proportion value of about $0.7$. So the height of the blue bar does double that of the green bar here. In conclusion, males prefer the 'Younger' attribute over females two-to-one.
