Results of a new study suggest that women are less sexually attracted to men who smile, further cementing the axiom that nice guys finish last. The study found that women were least attracted to smiling, happy men, preferring those who looked proud and powerful or moody and ashamed. On the other hand, men were most sexually attracted to women who looked happy, and least attracted to women who appeared proud and confident. The study, published Tuesday in the journal Emotion, is the first to show that women are sexually attracted to a brooding hulk, while men are sexually attracted to a smiling beauty. "We know that women like the bad boy. James Dean, Edward the vampire - all these guys who are very broody, we know that women find them attractive,"said Jessica Tracy, the study's lead researcher. Tracy said there was no clear explanation why the bad boy is more attractive, only that he stokes a woman's carnal instincts more than the nice guy with the smile. The researcher conducted four different studies with a total of more than 1,000 participants. In each experiment, people were asked to look at a series of pictures of the opposite sex in various emotional states and give their gut reaction to each. In the first study, participants said they found smiling guys less attractive than those who were brooding or showing pride. "That was one of the more surprising findings,"said Tracy, a psychology professor at the University of British Columbia. "Then we replicated it in three more studies with a pretty big sample, so I'm convinced at this point it's a real finding." Previous studies have shown that smiling is considered a more feminine expression of emotion, which possibly makes it more attractive to men rather than women, Tracy said. There's also a possibility that smiling signals that someone is available and receptive of signals from the opposite sex, Tracy said. "That's a really good message to send, at least in men's eyes. They want to know a woman is available and interested in them," she said. "When men show that, it might almost signal too much availability." Women may be attracted to a shameful looking guy because it shows he can be remorseful and accepting of social norms. "That's a really important message to convey because if you don't show shame, essentially if you're shameless, you could actually get excluded from the group," Tracy said.

"That was one of the more surprising findings,"said Tracy, a psychology professor at the University of British Columbia. He was surprised about this? Really? Women may be attracted to a shameful looking guy because it shows he can be remorseful and accepting of social norms. Good grief Charlie Brown! Women are repulsed by this. Don't listen to what women say. Watch what they DO. There's nothing wrong with smiling. There is everything wrong in looking like a smiling goofball. ,

They never included me in that survey. And btw, that survey is not accurate. I prefer nice guys to that of bad boys. A real man stands up for what he believes in and not what society pushes him to accept. It's what you call pussy whipping the men. Nice guys don't always finish last. Nice men that were brought up properly by their mothers would never put the value of the so-called "power" of women over the power of God. It's time to stop this social mind control programming of the sexes.

In my own experience, this article is so much horse-hockey, I cannot say...

I dont smile very much, usually frown of have no expression. I call BS on the article.
So according to this article I should be a chick magnet.
Yet, I cant get laid at an orgy.

Proud and powerful, yes! moody and ashamed, no! I always thought Darcy in Pride and Prejudice was far sexier than his limp-wristed friend Billingsly.
