Don’t go all goth, but don’t smile, either. A study from the University of British Columbia showed that happy guys finish last. Participants rated photos of men who were visibly displaying emotion; guys who seemed happy ranked behind men who showed visible pride (somewhat expectedly) and shame (somewhat unexpectedly).Granted, the study was intended to assess “gut reactions on attraction,” so happiness might be a more endearing trait in a long-term partner. In contrast, men found happy women more attractive. There’s probably a host of sociological reasons for this strange phenomenon, but the takeaway is clear: If you’re a man, you’d better start practicing your serious face.
