what is this crap and why is it upvoted?
> In contrast, women over the age of 30 tended to rate shame- and happy- displaying men as equally attractive (and both more so than neutral).
happy guys finish ahead of control, not last... and the BS title is from the original paper.
that's over 30, but several of the graphs in the paper (not all) show happy guys beating the control. meanwhile i don't see anything clearly indicating happy guys lost to the control overall; it looks more the other way around. at the very least, it's not clear happy guys finish last and lose to the control.
EDIT: the abstract says:
> happiness was the most attractive female emotion expression, and one of the least attractive in males.
so they knew the title was BS and didn't repeat the claim in the abstract. in the abstract they use weasel words, in the title they intentionally lie to get more attention/views.
