Basically. In my humble opinion, I believe the trick is to always maintain a poker face. Just keeping a somewhat alert but otherwise blank expression at all times. The exception might be when hanging out with the guys. But letting women see any evidence of any kind of emotion always seems to lead to problems. Of course inwardly we can be as happy as clams.
also “nice” guys is code for boring. Also, being overly “nice” comes across as weak, and less confident. Most guys who say they are “nice” guys are wet noodles. The woman voices and opinion, and he agrees regardless. We all know that guy or girl who just “tries to hard”. It turns women off.
Hence the conundrum: Why is this guy happy? ;-)
They just want to get a preview of the face you’ll definitely have after you marry them and they succeed in making you truly miserable, that’s all.
Not with me.
I love happy guys. Guys with a great sense of humor attract me every time.

I think it may be more like:
"Why is this guy happy without me?"
Good points.
In the end, after disaster or recognition of reality...
The nice guys end up married in steady relationships.
Until they get thrown out of the house they paid for.
Then Mandingo moves in with the wife.
I suspect the study confuses cause and effect. Happy guys are either getting laid, or don’t care about getting laid. That is why they are happy. Unhappy guys are either not getting any or not satisfied with what they are getting. That is why they brood and are unhappy.
If you are happy about your love live are you going to put yourself out and go the extra mile to attract a woman? Why would you? You are happy about the way things are, already.
If you are unhappy about your love live are you going to put yourself out and go the extra mile to attract a woman? Darn straight. You are going to work hard to get what you want.
So which guy do you think a gal is going to be attracted to? The happy guy who is putting no extra effort into pleasing her or the brooding, unhappy guy who puts ina *whole* lot more into signalling how excited he is about this woman in the hope transforming himself into a happy guy?
Seems like a no-brainer to me.
I prefer to be happy and enjoy life. And as the old joke goes, I’m not cutting that off for any woman.
LOL! That is funny as heck!
You know what is funny (pardon the pun) about this? My “gaydar” picks out gay men Because of their smiles. To me, if a guy smiles really really big, he often sets off my gaydar.

A smile is usually an instinctive attempt to appease larger and stronger males, to stave off an attack. Of course women and gays do it all the time - while powerful men hardly ever do it. Think chimpanzee culture - it predominates in America these days. :)
Every woman needs a man to make miserable, my observation on life.
Women prefer fixer uppers. Behind every “bad boy” is a prince charming that they can pull out with the proper training. Of course, “bad boys” play on this romantic notion to increase their scoring factor. The women that go for these guys seem to enjoy the drama of the whole process as far as I can tell.
