Do I spy a fellow Montrealer?
This is pretty much just the same old Bad boy over nice guy thing that is largely bullshit. Although my girlfriend does seem to like the more brooding pictures of me over the smiling ones...

No...sorry. Speaking as a woman who knows other women, that's just not true. At least not for all of us. One of the first things we look at is a nice smile.
This generation on the other hand (the Twilight generation), I don't speak for them...but that may be a main reason why.

Well I hate girls that pretend to smile or do that fake giggle whenever they are talking someone they are uncomfortable to be around ie: me.
Ah yes, nothing stops my gears turning like a man with a nice smile and good teeth.
Frowns and looks of downright sadness are just right up there with being Bradd Pitt or Filthy Stinking Rich on the list of things that really get me interested in a man.

Considering there's nothing more unattractive to me than a self-absorbed, brooding male... Yeah. I call bollocks.
Granted, I'm not "all women", but neither are the 1000 women surveyed.

What he said. Statistics 101 already precludes the representative strength of this sample.Sober Thal said:
Anyways, I've always found smiling men and women more attractive than if they were frowning or otherwise looking sullen or disinterested. I don't understand whom those miserable-looking models in the ads are supposed to appeal to.
? I seriously don't believe tha-WAIT! What the hell, this study comes from my home town! 0_0
...Maybe the reason I really don't believe this all that much is because just today, my GF told me that she loves it when I smile. So take that, study! XD
Oh, and does anyone else find that picture of the twilight guy to be...well...creepy and ugly? I mean...how the hell does anyone fall for that?

meh, I feel like the study could have been done better
should have been the same guy with different expressions, because maybe one guy was just more attractive than another, and the more attractive one just happened to be "brooding"
also the underwhelming number of people tested.
the result still makes some sense though, we live in a more pessimistic and cynical time, and people who are overly happy are far less common (generally)

Uuh, if your profile is accurate you're sort of in the Twilight generation. You were 15 when Twilight came out, that's pretty much in the thick of it. Plus Twilight's appeal is much larger than tween girls, I know women in their mid twenties through the early thirties who enjoyed Twilight.AbstractStream said:
Anyway, I saw some of the pictures in a separate article I read about the same study. It could totally come down to the fact that some people just have goofy smiles. Also, since when are "nice guys" known for smiling. The researcher even said that smiling could be a sign of shamelessness (read: douchebag).
First of all, this thread needs a better title. That statement is right up there with "girls only like assholes" and "girls only go for power and money" in terms of idiocy. There is no blanket statement that can apply to all women, so stop trying to make them.
Second, the article is not statistically conclusive.

I question the validity of this study! I scowl like a dour fucker and the ladies never look my way. |
Why is it that every single study thinks that all women are the same?
studies of men sometimes do this but they always say the majority of guys think this way... So I guess that if a girl is the bookwormy type or the stuck-up cheerleader type they're all the same.
for everyone bringing up the Twilight thing. I see two very attractive and funny actors who have had the life drained out of them by a terrible series. seriously, Kirsten Stewart is very pretty and Robert Pattinson is charismatic, but in those movies they are under such god-awful lighting, make up and bad directing that they just look like soulless zombies, maybe that was the point.
