A study claimed that humor was seen as a desirable long-term-partner trait in men by women, but only if the man is good looking.<ref>https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1475-6811.1998.tb00174.x</ref> A different study found self-deprecating humor by high-status presenters (but not low-status presenters) increased long-term attractiveness for both sexes.<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/147470490800600303</ref>

=== Music ===


A couple studies suggested that ability to play the guitar seemed to be particularly attractive to women.<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0305735613482025</ref><ref>https://lebs.hbesj.org/index.php/lebs/article/view/66</ref> Heavy metal and rock music were correlated with more positive female evaluations of men than classical or avant-garde music.<ref>https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00995420</ref><ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0747563213002641</ref>
=== Smells ===
A study done in 20011 showed that armpit odor pleasantness was the single attribute that consistently predicted attractiveness of nonverbal behavior.<ref>https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-011-9803-8</ref> In laymen's terms the better smelling the mans armpits the more attractive, his gait, as well as any other nonverbal movement, and armpit smell is the most important factor of nonverbal attractiveness, probably by [[halo effect]]. One study found [[fashion|pine]] is an objectively, generally attractive smell.<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.2466/pms.100.1.135-141</ref> 3 studies found [[Pretty Boy|the smell of flowers]] to be sexually attractive to women.<ref>https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00224545.2012.683463</ref><ref>https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00224545.2012.683463</ref>
A scientific study on smoking and attractiveness showed, smokers prefer smokers and nonsmokers prefer nonsmokers, although smokers in general were rated less attractive. Physical attractiveness ratings were not influenced by status.<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/014616727900500328</ref>
Another study where, two hundred twenty-nine subjects watched videotapes of men and women smoking or not smoking as part of a study on first impressions. The results indicated that (a) smoking models were perceived as more sexually active than nonsmokers regardless of the subjects' smoking status; (b) smoking female models were seen as less likable, less attractive, and less healthy than nonsmoking female models, whereas no such differences emerged between smoking and nonsmoking male models; and (c) although women reported no differences in their preference to engage in intimate behavior (e.g., petting, kissing) as a function of the male model's smoking status, men preferred to engage in such intimate behaviors more with nonsmoking females than with smoking females.<ref>https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1207/s15324834basp1302_5</ref>
=== Status ===
Displays of luxury, manipulated through brand labels on clothes, elicited different kinds of preferential treatment, which even resulted in financial benefits to people who engaged in conspicuous consumption.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1090513810001455</ref>
==== Social media ====
Positive wall postings yielded higher safety assessments than negative statements by friends. Qualification was similarly affected;
participants exposed to positive wall postings rated the profile owners more qualified than their counterparts who read negative statements. Both task and social attractiveness were influenced by the wall postings made by friends with regard to the profile owners. Task attractiveness of the profile owner was significantly higher when the statements from friends were positive than when negative; and profile owners were rated significantly more socially attractive when friends’ wall posting statements were positive than when they were negative.<ref>https://www.researchgate.net/publication/227674008_The_Role_of_Friends'_Appearance_and_Behavior_on_Evaluations_of_Individuals_on_Facebook_Are_We_Known_by_the_Company_We_Keep</ref>
In layman's terms the more social media clout, the higher physical attractiveness of the clout members, and the more positive things they have to say about the profile owner, the higher social status as well as perceived social and physical attractiveness of the profile owner. Interestingly the study also found women to be attracted to anti-social posts/behavior (sexual innuendos, excessive binge drinking at a bar) by the male profile owner (but men found this unattractive in the female profile owner).<ref>https://www.researchgate.net/publication/227674008_The_Role_of_Friends'_Appearance_and_Behavior_on_Evaluations_of_Individuals_on_Facebook_Are_We_Known_by_the_Company_We_Keep</ref>
This study confirms the anecdotal, social status maxxing tip of thuggmaxxing. Quote from the study:
''An unanticipated interaction effect involving the sex of the profile owner and the nature of the wall statements was obtained with respect to the effect of friends’ Facebook Friends and Individual Evaluations J. B. Walther et al. 44 Human Communication Research 34 (2008) 28–49 ª 2008 International Communication Association comments on perceptions of the targets’ physical attractiveness. The negative statements depicted normatively undesirable behavior, as they involved sexual innuendo and insinuated that the target person was drinking excessively the previous night. These statements raised the desirability of a man’s appearance among the subject population in this study, whereas the residues of such behavior rendered the target physically unattractive when she is female.''<ref>https://www.researchgate.net/publication/227674008_The_Role_of_Friends'_Appearance_and_Behavior_on_Evaluations_of_Individuals_on_Facebook_Are_We_Known_by_the_Company_We_Keep</ref>
=== Money ===
A study on car ownership and attractiveness showed that the male target model was rated as significantly more attractive on a rating scale of 1–10 when presented to female participants in the Silver Bentley Continental GT vs. the (Red Ford Fiesta ST). The luxury car, vs small family man van basically. One could argue the luxury cars greater angularity and sleekness is attractive, not the brand. However both are attractive.  For example, a racecar is brandless, although is still sleek, looks fast, etc. A Lamborghini from the 1980s would most likely be a more attractiveness boosting car than a 2019 family sedan, because A. the Lamborghini has a sleeker design, and B. Lamborghini is a high status brand.<ref>https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1348/000712609X417319</ref>
We found that men’s financial resources are positively associated with compliance with men's dating requests.<ref>https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2012-16556-006</ref>
Similar to the car study above, a study showed the male confederate to be rated as significantly more physically attractive standing in the luxury apartment vs the neutral apartment.<ref>https://akademiai.com/doi/abs/10.1556/JEP.12.2014.1.1</ref> The results of these studies show that an expensive, fast living, high income, high spending lifestyle is the most attractive.
