Attractiveness isn't one definable thing.

True. The study is 'concluded' by the universality of the smile.

I propose we coin a new term, "smiltractiveness" as a means of measurement of attraction of a third party as a result of being smiled at.

Experiments at Aberdeen University found we are more likely to think a person is good-looking if we catch members of the opposite sex smiling at them.<P>Tests show that our taste is always swayed by the attention people receive from others. In the tests, women ranked men as substantially more appealing if they had been shown images of other women smiling at them.
