Want the opposite sex to find you sexually attractive? Guys, don't smile, and Ladies, do!

A new study released by the University of British Columbia investigated sexual attractiveness of the opposite genders. On a first impression, guys found smiling, happy women to be the most sexually attractive, and ranked proud, confident women as the least. For women, it was the complete opposite, as proud, moody men, ie. stereotypical bad boys, were found to be the most sexually attractive.

What I found particularly interesting, but not suprising, was that women gave lower ratings to men then vice versa. I would theorize that if an additional study was done correlating the amount of time a man spends grooming himself, versus a woman, the reason for lower rating would be evident. Typically, women spend a lot more time actually taking care of themselves, while guys tend to be less put together.

The synopsis of the study can be found HERE

Want to be more sexually attractive to a woman? You'll get +5 bonus points to sexual attractiveness for doing each of the following:
  • Bathing daily. Yes, we DO notice when you don't.
  • Style your hair, seriously, the rolled out of bed look only works if you're a surfer or asian dude who spend at least 30 minutes achieving the look.
  • Use moisturizer at least a few times a week. We don't like looking at your flaky, rough skin, much less feeling it!
  • Wear clothes that fit. +10 points to wearing a suit that's been custom tailored to fit you.
  • Don't wear stained, ripped clothing. Or smelly clothing, though you'd assume that would be obvious.
  • You don't have to get a manicure/pedicure, but at least clip and file your nails so they aren't jagged and gross.
