In contrast, men are most sexually attracted to women who look happy, and least attracted to those who appear proud and confident.
相比起来,男人们更倾慕于那些看起来开开心心的女性,而不怎么喜欢表现的骄傲与自信的女人。
The University Of British Columbia study, which is the first to report a significant gender difference in the attractiveness of smiles, helps explain the enduring allure of 'bad boys' and other iconic gender stereotypes.
It is also the first study to investigate the attractiveness of displays of pride and shame.
这次试验也首度探究了展示骄傲和害羞所带来的吸引力。
Lead researcher Professor Jessica Tracy said: 'While showing a happy face is considered essential to friendly social interactions, including those involving sexual attraction - few studies have actually examined whether a smile is, in fact, attractive.
'This study finds that men and women respond very differently to displays of emotion, including smiles.'
“该研究发现,男性和女性对于情绪展露所回应是有非常大的差别的,微笑也包括在内。”
More than 1,000 adult participants rated the sexual attractiveness of hundreds of images of the opposite sex.
有超过1000成人参与了测试,他们观看对于成千上百幅异性的照片,并划分出不同的吸引人的程度。
The researchers found that women were least attracted to smiling, happy men - in contrast to men, who were most attracted to women who looked happy.
研究者发现,女性对于微笑的快乐的男性最不感兴趣,而男性方面的情况刚好相反。
Study co-author Alec Beall said: 'It is important to remember that this study explored first-impressions of sexual attraction to images of the opposite sex.
研究者称亚历克・比尔:“试验揭示了异性形象所留下的性感吸引力的第一印象。”
'We were not asking participants if they thought these targets would make a good boyfriend or wife - we wanted their gut reactions on carnal, sexual attraction.'
He said previous studies have found positive emotional traits and a nice personality to be highly desirable in a relationship partners.
他称之前的研究发现,积极的态度和良好的性格在感情关系中尤为重要。
Professor Tracy and Mr Beall said that other studies suggest that what people find attractive has been shaped by centuries of evolutionary and cultural forces.
不过特雷西博士和比尔也表示,在多年的演进和文化的作用之下,吸引人们的因素已经发生了变化。
For example, evolutionary theories suggest females are attracted to male displays of pride because they imply status, competence and an ability to provide for a partner and offspring.

It's only the researchers' point of view. One man's meat is another man's poison.
