As much as we hate to admit it, as women, we love bad boys. The thrill and excitement of dating a rebel intrigues us, and keeps us on our toes in a relationship. The good news is that we’re not alone. A recent study was taken on the effects of smiling and sexual attractiveness. Men rated women and women rated men in four categories:  1)    happy (smiling) 2)    proud (with arms raised overhead) 3)    ashamed (with eyes downcast) 4)    neutral (staring straight ahead, expressionless).

The results are fascinating. Men rated happy women the highest and proud women the lowest while women on the other hand rated proud men the highest and happy men the lowest. Researches attribute these results to the stereotype that smiling is considered feminine and submissive. Women like strong men and “happy men” who are always smiling appear to be weak.
