5 Things Science Says Women Love

  1. Not Smiling

    2. A University of British Columbia study found that women are least attracted to a guy with a grin. Scientists aren't really sure why smiles are such a turn-off among the double-X-chromosomal set, but they think it has something to do with our primate ancestry. Among non-human primates, the smile is a fear grimace and symbol of submission, or what researchers call "total deal breakers." What does get women's attention? Loud and proud alpha males or dark and brooding fellas. Which would be great news for men with depression... if their unhappiness weren't due to a chemical imbalance in the brain.

  2. Average Looks

    3. Evolution, while causing women to get hotter and hotter, is putting the breaks on male attractiveness. Previously, researchers thought that predators were responsible because they targeted, say, the peacocks with the prettiest feathers. But a University of Texas study found that while predators do prefer male animals with the flashiest secondary sex characteristics, this did not play a significant role in eliminating them. Rather, female animals purposefully avoid male partners who are too good looking. Perhaps they don't want to mate with the males who are most likely to be eaten. Or perhaps, like human females, they want all eyes on them when they walk into the party.

  3. Resembling Their Dads

    4. A University of St. Andrews survey asked 400 women in relationships who had been raised by both parents about the hair and eye color of their partner and dear old dad. Women overwhelming had partners who matched their father. Meanwhile, researchers at the muscularly named University of Pécs in Hungary found that it was also more subtle features, like the shape of the face. Same goes for guys and their mothers, by the way. Apparently, characteristics of the opposite-gender parent are imprinted on the brain at an early age and never really leave you. This may partially explain why women are attracted to older guys. And it's great news if you happen to look like Jon Voight.

  4. Femininity

    5. A study from the University of Aberdeen in Scotland might explain why ladies love Bieber. Researchers showed female subjects two photos of the same man, with subtle differences. One would have a narrower jaw and rounder eyes, traditionally more feminine features, while the other would be all man. The results? Sorry, square jaws of the world. Ladies prefer more ladylike dudes. Bonus twist? All other things being equal, in countries with poorer overall health, women prefer more masculine men, while in places with stronger health indicators, women favor girly men. Researchers believe women see a manly man as a better reproductive mate. But here in the first world, they have the luxury of caring about things like the fact that manly men are harder to get along with.

  5. Dancing Ability

    6. Not pulling at the bar? You're probably relying way too much on your sterling personality. What you need to do is get out there and dance. At least that's what researchers at Northumbria's School of Life Sciences found. They believe women look at your dancing skills as a measure of your overall health and strength, as well as fitness for, ahem, mating. The best way to dance? Like the King, Elvis Presley. The study found that you've got to really gyrate your neck and trunk to win female attention. Researchers-and we swear we're not making this up-recommend that you learn to salsa and tango for best results.
