... happiness was the most attractive female emotional expression and one of the least attractive male expressions. Men were more attractive when they showed pride, whereas women were rated as less attractive when they showed that emotion.
The one that surprised me was shame. Men who showed shame were rated highly (shame is nearly as sexy as pride and much sexier than happiness). Women who displayed shame were also rated highly. Maybe people are looking for advanced moral qualities when they rate other people’s attractiveness.
