Stop the brooding, guys. According to a new study, women are more attracted to a man who smiles than one who looks grumpy. I know I am.

The study, conducted by the University of Oslo and Senshu University in Japan, found that when it came to a long-term relationship, women rated men who were smiling in photos as more attractive than those who showed no expression.

Interestingly, when it came to short-term relationships, women had no preference as to whether the man seemed happy or not.

Basically, if you are thinking long-term or marriage, women want someone who seems happy. When it’s just casual, brooding is just fine.
