RBF is just another phony Internet conspiracy theory that became a phenomenon and was initially directed at females . it was based on a comedy group Broken People who uploaded a parody video called Bitchy Resting Face . then a bunch of social scientists and facial computer programmers thought they would have some fun looking for a way of making up faked data and other scientific studies backing it up, that insecure paranoid brainwashed social media selfie female users on IG and FB would buy into a socially stigmatized facial condition . with the added dreaded fear and psychosis of social anxiety . self dehumanization . and self doubt about personal looks. plus adding into the mix the reactions of venomous creepy haters with their own cruel jokes and contempt .
ummm GaG men beware! . you need to get a Resting Bitch Face test for yourself . you may have RBF too . eewwhhh!
so now that everyone believes OMG this is real . everyone that has a plain neutral expression of no emotion . everyone that has a natural expressionless face . is now scientifically proven to be RBF . proving you are not happy . you are miserable angry disgusted . a negative human being . unworthy of consideration . unapproachable . a disease . emotionally depressed . immature . psychotic . and someone who probably wants to blow up the world . but look . if you believe it all don't kill yourself . get some therapy! . OR read some classic literature in stead of stupid blogs on the internet . if you can tell the difference . Or better yet . don't be scared . maybe you should consider that bitch face with the LaFemmeFatale haunting eyes and parted moist mouth is someone you should really try to hook up with and get to know .
I have an RBF and it saves me from unnecessary small talk but people will still approach me anyways. My face is like that but doesn't necessarily mean I am a snob or angry. I do smile when a person says hi. I could be reading or just sitting down thinking about dinner and some random person says smile, oh hell no that pisses me off. lol
Could it be genetic? Having resting bitch face? My dad has face like that too :D He's policeman but when he didn't wear cop form he's been checked by cops they thought he was criminal because of his facial expression 😂 Wtf!
Yeah, they do. A lot of them judge you. I even had guys try to tell me to smile more, and that just makes me even more annoyed. If there isn't anything for me to smile about then I won't smile. If guys don't approach you for whatever reason then that is their problem.
@GarryHoward1 Not sometimes. All the time because it's choice like it's the girls choice not to approach. Why should she approach if she's going to get judged for having a vexed face?
My friends tell me that when they see me by myself in public, I have this bland far-off look in my eyes that looks kinda angry, but I instantly bright up and become cheerful when someone talks to me. Sometimes I wonder if that's why guys don't approach me.
When a woman writes an article about how men SHOULD behave, I listen. If she looks like she's got a stick up her ass i'm not gonna talk to her, per #4 of Top 10 Rules for Approaching a Strong Independent Woman (Or some other such narcissistic variation) Now the article that predictably comes out 2 days later that says "Just because I look like a bitch doesn't mean I am one, come chat me up!" I always default to the first article because I know you wrote the 2nd one when you were ovulating and not in your right mind.
I've approached them in the past but the interaction has usually been a mixed bag, but mostly leaning to startled awkward exchanges as most likely they were just tired from work and and were off somewhere else with their thoughts, I usually enjoy making people smile so resting bitch face kinda pushes my buttons to interact as a form of personal challenge.
I'd go out with my best friend who in my opinion is so much prettier than me but I used to have more guys approach me than her. I just looked more approachable.
It depends if they made eye contact or had the ‘model’ look where they try to act as disinterested as possible. Resting bitch face isn’t usually the issue it’s groups that bother me. I known girls who looked grumpy and bitchy looking but lit up when you bothered to talk to them it really made some of their days.
I usually need some kind of a sign to approach a girl, like for example me smiling at them and them smiling back. If they constantly look like they hate to be there then why would I just randomly approach them.
If we are in the same group I might try talking to her but that's about it.
If I'm being honest, it all depends on how hot they are. The way I see it, not every girl is worth the headache that comes from behavior typically associated with bitch face. Thus, if I'm going after it, she's gotta be hot, and hopefully worth it. To be fair, resting bitch face deosnt always mean the girl is a bitch, often girls just can't help it. That being said, If I don't know the girl, all I have as reference is resting bitch face.
All depends for me. If I know 100% that it isn't them, then I'll let them know they don't need to do that for me. If I don't know, then I stay away. I can't stand people that make themselves to high of themselves. I see it like a chihuahua barking at pitbull. So it don't phase me. Just ridiculous to me
It don’t matter to me either would be the same not saying I easily approach but a face is a face if it is rbf they can’t always help it I know people who always look like they are going to take a knife and stab you but they can turn out to be some of the coolest people ever
I have a resting bitch face and I often look angry/in a bad mood. I’m relatively quiet and I don’t go pass one or two words (mainly because I don’t like small talk or talk that’s not important). I don’t understand why people expect women to be smiley and bubbly all the time. Especially men who catcall and tell us to smile. Like why.
No. It's not only the aura that a resting bitch face gives off that drives people away but also even the fact that your face is saying "neutral" or "bitchy". If your face is just blank there's a big chance that you're not expecting to talk to anyone or that you're not open to conversations. Smiling is like an invitation, when it's not there, you're likely not welcome.
I have a habit of dating girls who have a standing reputation of being a bitch lol. The resting bitch face doesn't bother me, but actually being a bitch does.
If that's all I see of them (the RBF) then I probably won't feel comfortable approaching. What draws me to approach a girl is her outward expressions of friendliness. It doesn't mean she has to constantly smile, but I need to see some sign that she's open to a courteous advance.
I have away been attracted to happy and smiling women, so there are the kind of women I would approach.
A resting bitch face indicates it's a bitchy girl, I am not into bitchy behaviour. Besides she may be in a bad mood that day and needs being left alone, maybe some other time where she shows a happy inviting face would be a better time.
I have not approached a woman in many years , now as a single dad , this will not be an issue for me. Most women in my city have a sour / pissed off expression , but most people are stressed to be fair. However the vast majority of women do NOT want to be bugged by some random man.
I usually don't have a problem approaching women with a resting bitch face. One of my best friends - who is a girl, sooo scary for many guys on here 👻 - has a resting bitch face so I am rather used to it. Also, I have a resting face that screams 'anger' or just not caring, so I know the feels.
I think most men would definitely avoid her if she looked irritated. Personally, I'd approach because of my personality type, I'd see it as a challenge to make her smile. But, but, but, generally speaking, resting bitch face is not a nice thing... as long as said female makes an effort to be a decent person, I think most people who know her would ignore it. Including guys in class, work and so on.
I kind of have the opposite problem. I look friendly and at ease, but on the inside my social anxiety's screaming, "please don't talk to me, please don't talk to me." When people approach me, they find out that I'm a lot more awkward than I look.
It is not about it being hard or not. Doesn't matter how beautiful she is, rest bitch face is not attractive. Sure could put the effort into brightening her day, but probably not worth the effort. As you were, carry on.
Depends. A resting bitch face doesn't say all about a woman. I would be less likely to approach because I need to know if its only an expression on her face, not all of her. But the expression translates to me as "she doesn't want to be bothered".
It's not hard, its just a conscious decision not to. Resting bitch face doesn't mean they can't smile when your eyes meet and If they don't even do that it means they're not interested, hence it not being worth taking forward.
I would approach but I would probably be very visable that I am uncomfortable XD. As I would try to get them to smile lol. And get them to lighten up their mood even if it risks how I look for the first impression.
Exactly. It isn't that the face is unattractive or intimidating--I just don't necessarily want to extend effort getting to know someone who projects unpleasantness.
I would certainly approach them... you have to look through it :D Very often they're the nicest people around and you're among the few approaching them nicely :D
I have a resting "nice face" I smile all the time and for the most part I'm friendly. My method usually is I smile at someone and maybe wave, if I get a friendly response then I could approach but in reality I don't don't because it's just weird.
Haha! Sometimes, but most times people smile back. I will admit that it makes me more approachable vs those with RBF. Approachable to a fault. Meaning, guys automatically assume just b/c I look over and smile that I'm interested. I'm thinking, "No, I'm just being friendly."
Question, is it just me, but have you noticed that throughout the years, people have become less and less friendly compared to before? I definitely have.
You know what? You're right! If I hold the door open for someone or help out a person in the grocery store, I do get looks. Like wow, that was really nice of you! In my mind, I'm thinking, "Um... just being polite."
True its sad that now days being polite and friendly is considered odd or weakminded. It seems like everyone had become very entitled, and don't get me wrong I believe that you should take care of yourself first but most people don't even do that they just wanna be stuck in their own misery and drag you in it.
I love what you said about being weakminded. Don't confuse my kindness for weakness. I may be nice, but I'm no fool. Don't befriend me to use me for your own selfish advantage. Ha! I'll peep that out a mile away & the only look they'll ever get from me will be RBF.
Ugh I've been struggling to click on the "(+)" bur I can never make it past "Ha! I'll peep that out a mile away & the only..." 😩 but anyways I will say that I try not to let it affect me.
I wouldn't any girl with a resting bitch face at all. Looking like a "bitch" is pretty much one of the most unattractive things on a woman. Why would I approach someone I don't find attractive?
Not really i have a bitch face so i can relate we just have a blank stare make us laugh we laughi find people weird who walk around smiling at nothing unless they're high or intoxicated like life isn't that great dude even with money and pussy lmao
Why would I even bother when their are plenty of women who don't have it? If she appears to have a major case of red ass to start with... it isn't getting any better.
Ok yes it's a high hurdle to get over but getting someone that does not smile too much is like finding a hidden treasure. So like the rarity and the build up of not knowing how they are feeling are a sort of intrigue for me
I can’t tell the difference very well, so it doesn’t affect how I talk to people. I used to date a girl who I never realized had that face until she said that she wished she didn’t.
I sent that before I finished typing. It's a defence mechanism, a bad habit at this stage, because I have always had a tendency to get anxious in social situations, so it's like armour. But really, all I want is for someone to see through it and want to get to know me.
If you look unapproachable because of RBF, then I won’t approach you. I’m not gonna take that chance that the girl is truly not in a good mood and possibly get told off because I couldn’t take the hint or read body language.
If I never see her smile, I'll be kind of intimidated. But if I saw her smile a couple of times, I wouldn't mind. I find resting bitch face hotter in bed, it makes them look like some sort of mistress :)
Not me. I'd still approach whoever the hell I find attractive to me. At least I'd start with "love you hair/dress etc with a little smirk. I don't push it, I just feel how the respond in the beginning then I'll take it from there.
