Why don't you smile?
Posted : 25 Sep, 2016 07:20 PM

I find one of the most attractive things about a guy is a big smile. Why do so many guys post non-smiling pics? If you're trying to look sexy or cool, it's not working for you. You look more like an ax murderer.

I feel silly trying to smile for a selfie. I've heard I have a nice smile, maybe a shallow comp, but who knows. It just doesn't work in a selfie :)

In the article, "The 4 Big Myths of Profile Pictures," on OKTrends, the blog by dating site OKCupid, where they do all kinds of statistical analyses of their users, they found that the "women met per attempt" for men who didn't smile in their pictures far exceeded the number of the men who did smile in their profile pictures.



Personally, I like pictures of women who smile. And I smile in my pictures because it seems the most natural thing for me to do. But I have heard from women that too many men don't smile in their pictures. So anecdotal evidence I've heard suggests women like men who smile, but statistics -- at OKCupid at least -- show men who don't smile in their pictures get more responses from women.

I used to be very self conscious when women would respond to my neutral/"smirk"/natural smile with this complaint.



Then I realised that I didn't like "fake" smiling, and while a large part of online dating is self-marketing, I had *no* interest in any woman who would judge me for not smiling to the extent of her standards--Especially when you discover that many people only want to judge someone on the condition of that persons teeth (My oral hygiene is in excellent condition thank you very much...)



You want a huge smile from me? Get to know me and earn it, or go find someone whose profile smile you *do* appreciate.
