“This research examined the relative sexual attractiveness of individuals showing emotion expressions of happiness, pride, and shame compared with a neutral control. Across two studies using different images and samples ranging broadly in age (total N = 1041), a large gender difference emerged in the sexual attractiveness of happy displays: happiness was the most attractive female emotion expression, and one of the least attractive in males. In contrast, pride showed the reverse pattern; it was the most attractive male expression, and one of the least attractive in women. Shame displays were relatively attractive in both genders, and, among younger adult women viewers, male shame was more attractive than male happiness, and not substantially less than male pride.”
I would also just like to point out http://psycnet.apa.org/journals/emo/11/6/1379/
surprised female pride was considered unattractive because boobs
male shame brought the most hearty lol so i voted that
lol I was about to post the exact same thing, crut
god those pictures are awesome
kinda concluding that this supports R. Crumb’s “men are attracted to physical beauty/women are attracted to power” dictum
’shame’ looks more like “I am playing a game on my handheld console/smartphone right now, please go away”
my takeaway:
men like teeth
women like GUNS
“I am playing a game on my handheld console/smartphone right now, please go away”
good reason to be ashamed imho
good to know women hate to see men happy
In the ‘happiness’ picture he looks like a serial killer, in the ‘neutral’ picture he looks like he’s just sharted.
Since when did pride involve looking like you just ran across the finishing line at a marathon?
F. Happiness > Pride > Neutral >>>> Shame
A smiling female for me. Definitely NOT sexy—the heavily made-up pouty lips and stares on the cover of Maxim and its ilk. They look like they’re angry at me; evidently some men find that attractive.
Shouldn’t the person in the Pride picture look more like Lucifer?
ranked by which would make best band names:
Female Shame
Male Happiness
Neutral Control
Female Pride
Male Shame
Female Happiness
Male Pride
Pride = a deeper love.
Kinda like neutral tbh
xpost*2 surely Neutral Control is a band already!
you can barely see the dude’s face in the pride picture. the shame picture makes him look like he has a weak chin and also a hernia.
Have resisted captioning the male pics as a four-pic series.
Say “thanks”
They’ve overegged the pudding in the pride pics, with the arms and all
also, there seems to be differences in lighting besides the facial expression. Like, the chick’s boobs look perkier in the happy picture than the neutral one, with the female pride resulting, as crut and dan previously noted, with the most uplifted boobs.
And she has good reason to be proud, eh guys?
no duckface option?
The female happiness image is a much better imitation of the expression than the male. Happiness is in the eyes, not the teeth, psychologists.
Male happiness failed to smize.
Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.
Automatic thread bump. This poll’s results are now in.

wrinklepause betrayed by delusions of excelsiority
