A woman can be attracted to a man for numerous reasons.

Maybe it’s the way they dress or it may be the man’s sense of humor that they like – whatever the case is, attraction is relative.

Emotions are very attractive as well and a study conducted last year sought to find out the most attractive one that men display.

Study

The study’s lead researchers Alec Beall and Jessica Tracy asked women to rate the sexual attractiveness of men displaying either pride, shame, happiness or neutrality.

Topping the list was, unsurprisingly, pride.

Men that display pride are automatically perceived to be of a higher status as compared to those that express other emotions.

Coming a close second is a man that is able to accept their wrongs and is willing to make amends.

Surprisingly, a display of happiness wasn’t a top choice for an attractive emotion in men.
