Scientists find happy men are 'significantly less attractive' to ladies | Mail Online: "The University Of British Columbia study, which is the first to report a significant gender difference in the attractiveness of smiles, helps explain the enduring allure of 'bad boys' and other iconic gender stereotypes.
It is also the first study to investigate the attractiveness of displays of pride and shame.
Lead researcher Professor Jessica Tracy said: 'While showing a happy face is considered essential to friendly social interactions, including those involving sexual attraction - few studies have actually examined whether a smile is, in fact, attractive.
'This study finds that men and women respond very differently to displays of emotion, including smiles.'"
