I saw this article on why it's not okay to tell women to smile and related to it instantly: http://www.lovelyish.com/2013/03/14/...omen-to-smile/

Men (and I've never had it be anyone other than a man), who tell me to smile when I'm walking down the street engrossed in a serious or sad moment are policing my lapse of decorativeness.
Fuck them.

I have what I call Bitch Face.... When not smiling people assume I am angry and unhappy. I have actually practiced a face I call "happy relaxed". I was hoping that after a while it would become second nature. (I was sick of people always asking me what was wrong) It didn't stick. I find myself overcompensating by smiling like a maniac all of the time at people... now they just think I am overfriendly.

I really don't mind. It saves me the irritation of explaining that I'm not mad while I get mad because the person won't believe me.

I too suffer from Resting Bitch Face.
I've even looked into cosmetic surgery. Ugh. The things we do to fit in. |

Since this is a humor thread I'll just say that my smile is a LIE, and that my "outraged old butch battle axe" face is the truth!
