Seth Abramovitch · 05/25/11 01:33AMRemember that study that found cultured men to be generally happier than their uncultured counterparts? Well, there's another new study that says women are less attracted to happier guys! So what's it going to be? Cézanne and contentment? Or Michael Bay and getting laid? The choice is yours.

Cultured Men Are Happier
Max Read · 05/23/11 11:00PMA new study finds that men who participate in "cultural activities" — either as creators or audience members — are happier those who don't. (The effect is less pronounced in women: "Men seemed to get more of a percieved health benefit from being involved in different receptive cultural activites than women did," study author Koenraad Cuypers told LiveScience.) Is there truth to this? Well, I am very cultured — I know all the art, like the one with Jesus (?), and the one that's just one color (white, I think, or black?) — and I am very, very happy. So... yes. [dons monocle] [LiveScience]

Max Read · 04/05/11 06:40PMPhD student Alex Davies has set out to discover the happiest places in the world by analyzing Tweets. A noble project! But one that may need some tweaking, given that according to his data, the happiest U.S. state is Tennessee (tied with Arizona as the eighth most-unemployed state in the union) , and the happiest country is Germany (which, c'mon, it's Germany; if it were a happy country we wouldn't have had two different world wars).
