Does smiling make you more attractive?

[EmbraceThePain]

It can, but if you’ve seen many models’ photoshoots, they’re not necessarily smiling. I think they have more of a smirk or chic (SHēk) facial expression. I think it really depends on the context. If you’re already a handsome man, smiling or not smiling won’t make too much of a difference. If you’re wanting to attract women, smiling can diffuse any threatening or scared thoughts in her head and see you as friendly.

I am the friendliest man

[EmbraceThePain]

Why’d you ask who was it in my profile pic last time?

[Asker]

Looks like Johnny depp or something to be honest

[EmbraceThePain]

So, you’re saying I’m uber handsome?
Thanks man loll

[Asker]

I don’t know man. Are you wearing earrings?

[EmbraceThePain]

No lol

[Dongtai]

A natural smile that isn’t forced, yes. Smiles are one of the main ways a human communicates friendliness. When you frown it’s like a rattlesnake hissing. It’s a warning that you’re not safe and might bite if someone comes close.

It’s not attractive in a sexual way. It’s platonically attractive. It makes you look safe, friendly and approachable. Frowns do the opposite.

[e66666e]

depends, if you want to look more serious looking and that’s attractive to you then no. but if you want to look more friendly then yes, smiling is a good way to go. also it depends on facial features, you may look really attractive smiling or really awful

[DevylasArsaukas76]

I prefer smiling without showing teeth

[e66666e]

me too

[tonicandgin]

yea, but some people look better when they dont smile

[Asker]

@tonicandgin

If you don’t mind me asking, who are those people?

[tonicandgin]

Old guys that have a sleazy smile. Look less creepy if they keep the poker face

[SteveSmith1985]

Yea it definitely does. It makes such a difference.

That's why I look all serious in my profile pic. I'm here to give serious advice and opinions. Not as eye-candy.

[Snakeyes7]

It’s actually the opposite for me. Smiling is definitely a sign of friendliness but default facial expression are usually sexier to me. My hypothesis is because it’s usually the face I will end up seeing the most often. Not because I will prevent her from smiling but it is unrealistic to expect someone to be smiling 24/7 as well as it would creep a lot of people out.

[Asker]

Do you like the bad girl?

[Snakeyes7]

Define bad. You could be implying that I would like the bad girl as in she is not afraid to have a good time (take that as you will) or you could mean the incredibly serious, no nonsense personality or you could just mean abusive but I doubt you mean the third option.

[Asker]

I mean maybe the first one, she lives life on the edge and takes risks

[Snakeyes7]

Yes absolutely. I have been living in a strict family that hates all the friends I have who are free spirited. I need to unwind and go on adventures man.

[Asker]

Yes! I want to be with a girl who loves adventure and excitement, they do exist

[purplepoppy]

It depends on how you smile. A stupid cheesy grin, a creepy evil smile or a subtle happy pleased to see you smile. There are dozens of smiles, personally I use the I've just done something smile the mostn

[Asker]

Are you a bot? You remind me of the creepy poppy

[Bananaman177]

In Russia, they think that smiling all the time for no reason is a sign of stupidity.

They find it more attractive if you are stoic and reserved, it shows maturity and seriousness.

[Asker]

There’s a time to be happy and a time to not be

[Bananaman177]

Yes, but just because you may feel happy it doesn't always mean it is a good time to show it on your face. Russians smile, but they smile when they are with their friends, not around strangers.

Under Communism, you must remember, there was such a thing as "face crime." If you were walking down the street frowning, they might arrest you for thinking bad thoughts about the party. If you were smiling, they might say, "he is thinking of something devious."

It pays to have total control over your face and awareness of your surroundings at all times.

[Asker]

Are you from Russia? I did not know that

[ShadowofRegret]

I have often heard that men look more attractive when they do not smile, but then women are always telling me to smile, so I think it probably just depends on the man.

[Asker]

Maybe it’s if he is attractive to her smiling is good

[ShadowofRegret]

That makes sense.🤔

[hahahmm]

As far as women: some have faces that look meh/blah when not happy but very good when they’re happy. Some people are blessed with faces that look good even when they’re sad.

[Just_a_human]

It does for some people, but some people look better when they're not smiling

[Asker]

Like who?

[Just_a_human]

no one that you know, just people I've seen around

[StephenCF]

Not me. I hate my smile! I’m still experimenting with different skincare products until I find the one that makes my cheeks glow instead of wrinkle up when I smile

[Asker]

You’re awesome dude

[StephenCF]

@AJC997 Bro fist 👊🏻🤛🏻

[Lman3000]

Well I'm fucked cause of my tiny and separated ass teeth, I hate my smile, if I could have them replaced with a new set I'd do it without even thinking about it

[Asker]

Teeth aren’t even that noticeable at least I don’t notice

[Lman3000]

Still I don't smile and I don't like either way

[loveshorro]

I’d say yes. It definitely makes people more interested in you because you seem happy and enjoy those you’re around, rather then standoffish

[Gypsy_x]

Yes. Good energy, positive attitudes and friendly demeanours make someone more appealing.

[Mickey9999]

Of course. Scientifically men smile way less than women but no one wants to be with a Debbie downer so of course smiles are more attractive

[Hamsteroids]

Not always, but it definitely makes you look friendlier and approachable

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Usually, it does unless the individual has disgusting teeth & gums.

[R_Cakes91]

Of course, yes! I wouldn’t want a man who looked mad all the time.

[markscott]

Yes, smiling makes a person more attractive. It's one of the first things I notice about a girl.

[Tslaveee]

Girls say yes but it’s been proven that they find men who smile less more attractive and ones with grins are better not full out fruity smiles

[Asker]

I think for one night stands smiling is less attractive. It’s like us guys- a bad girl is more attractive for ons?

[Carbon-12]

Yes. Smiling doesn't show off your facial features as well, but it makes you look friendly and confident which is more important in my opinion.

[Massageman]

Keep smiling : it makes people wonder what you are really up to.

[Asker]

Life is short

[FlatsRunner]

I think it does. The amount of guys that don’t smile on here.

[Asker]

I am not smiling in my profile pic
