Well I'm creeped out =P
Also I think in some ways it is the same for some men liking women who are fixated on something.
Say a woman was reading and a man found that much more intriguing than a over the top smiley woman. I'm only saying it is possible.

You shouldnt pretend you are something you are not just because the norm is attracted to a certain thing,relatiosnhips where you cant be yourself dont usually last(she realizes that its all an act/you get tired of pretending rather quickly)

Does anyone know if this applies for females too? I'm curious. I have more of a neutral look most of the time. I've never really been approached as anything other than a friendship, off the internet, anyway.

I rarely smile (although it is very easy for me to find a reason to laugh). Where are the hordes of women?

Then again, my lips have a weird "smiley" shape. It is very subtle, but anyone can see it up close.

Also, why would I care? Cool

Smiles should be spontaneous and involuntary, not rehearsed or faked. So should brooding looks. So should all facial expressions. Just let your face do its own thing, that's what I say.

I couldn't care less about what "studies" conclude. I agree with Spongy. Just be yourself. If somebody likes you, great. If they don't, fine. They're not the one for you. So what? There's no point in faking facial expressions (or anything else) to attract somebody. Once they find out the fake person wasn't the real you, they will lose interest anyway. Just be authentic from the start.

For every study that says one thing, there will be another to contradict it anyway. And what does it matter what X percent of people think? It only matters what that one special person thinks of you. The rest don't matter at all.

I've not done that... I was merely stating that it could be possible if the roles were reversed from the original post. Also it was only an example.

You people here are too much falseness paranoid - relax.

I didnt intend to accuse you of doing it, I was just stating what usually happens when people do it.


As for the dating site: dont ask me. My pictures on okcupid suck and I seriously need to update them(have a few decent ones because Ive been trying to go out more lately and one of my friends usually brings a camera along)

No.

Assuming I participated on any, (which I currently don't but I have in the past) I would not delete my photo and rush off and take a different profile pic with a different expression just because of the latest findings of some "study" done by people I don't know, conducted on people I don't know, in an attempt to mold myself into the person that the "study" suggests I ought to be. I'd rather just be myself, if it's all the same to you. Laughing

I'd say it's the other way round. You seem to be afraid of just being yourself and seem to worry far too much about what all these ridiculous surveys have to say.

If I followed every "study" out there on the Internet, I would turn into a patchwork Frankenstein. Here's what might happen:

One study might say "men prefer long hair" so I'd anxiously start growing it. Another might say "men prefer skinny women" so I'd start starving myself. Then I'd have to get implants because another study would say men like big boobs, which are impossible when you're anorexic. Oops, they like short hair now. Better cut it off. Wait, they like women who like the first move. No, now they like shy yet playful girls - with LONG HAIR!! WHY DID I CUT IT ALL OFF??! Oh no! Now it says men like tall women. Better have surgery to make my legs longer - ouch. That was sore. Now I'd better start scowling at men because smiling is deemed unattractive. Wait, what's the current opinion on hair this month? Darn, long again. Now I need some extensions (and some new boob implants. The old ones burst). Darn it, now freckes are cute. I'd better have some tattoed on. OH NO! Freckles are out of fashion! Now I need laser surgery. Wait, my pale skin is unattractive and pasty according to a recent survey. Better get a spray tan...oops. Now I have a horrible allergic rash.

Laughing

Do people really live like this?

Confused

I'll smile when I'm happy and frown when I'm sad, and keep my own natural physique and just be who I am.

Why don't you just be yourself? That way someone will be attracted to you one day because of your uniqueness rather than for your ability to follow trends. Wink

First, It's not a stupid survey, do a quick google search and you'll find that many studies got the same conclusion.

Second, spare me the idealism.

If you were a 30+ virgin you wouldn't come to give us such lectures in moral, pure genuineness and one-should-always-stay-as-himself-no-matter-what.

chill, your virginity is not a trump card in every other discussion.
