Smile And You Sleep Alone

The problems with happiness are a recurring concern in these parts, and now comes further evidence to support our contention that joy is a terrible thing, particularly if you are a man looking to do sex to a lady:

Women find happy men significantly less sexually attractive than those who swagger or brood, researchers said today. They are least attracted to smiling men, instead preferring those who looked proud and powerful, or moody and ashamed, according to a study. In contrast, men are most sexually attracted to women who look happy, and least attracted to those who appear proud and confident.

As a quiet, moody fellow who is riddled with shame, I can only say that this is extremely good news. Now where are all the happy broads hanging out?
