Being mean
Research carried out in China in 2014 involved getting a group of volunteers to rate a series of photographs of people with neutral expressions, but with varying descriptions of their emotions written underneath. It was found that people who were described as ’mean’ were rated the least attractive.

Looking too proud
The aforementioned research also determined that overly proud women aren’t seen as attractive by men.

At the University of New Mexico, it was discovered that people who smell similar don’t attract each other, as this makes them subconsciously think they’re related.
