I think it would say more about the person answering those questions than the subjects at hand.

How so?

It would be finding out how much does perceived fertility impacts what is considered attractive (already a subjective measure that changes based on culture and history). They whole point would to be if there is, and how much, a subconscious weighting based on that.

Similar studies have been done on equally frivolous (in the context that someone being fertile or not does not change they worth or value as a person) variables and generally they have interesting results.

Not really related to the subject of the thread, hence the prefix of "tangent", except the whole thing is around a beauty pageant where we already reduce women to the role of object and score them on it.
