According to new University of British Columbia study, women are least attracted to smiling, happy men, instead preferring guys who look proud and powerful or moody and ashamed.
“It is important to remember that this study explored first-impressions of sexual attraction to images of the opposite sex,” says Alec Beall, a UBC psychology graduate student and study co-author. “We were not asking participants if they thought these targets would make a good boyfriend or wife — we wanted their gut reactions on carnal, sexual attraction.”
Next time you’re at a bar looking to get laid, stop smiling and you might just get lucky.
