How the hell do you smile?

BPhair · 2011-01-13T07:26:40+00:00

Someone else suggested this is another thread, I will try to summarize for now, then go find it.

In the context if pick-up

The best natural smile can be had by thinking about the hot girl you are talking to masturbating to the idea of having sex with you.

He put it much better, so I'll go find the original.

Edit: Found it

relevant survey to see if you can spot a fake smile

It's all in the eyes. I can fake a smile well and I usually know when someone else is fake smiling. If a person's eyes move, more specifically if they get crow's feet in the corner of their eyes, it's probably real.

I hope this helps.

Kind of lame to look up how to do a basic human function, but I'm guilty of it too. Hope this helps.

Find something in your environment that makes you smile and focus on it.

When I walk, I notice dogs, kids having fun, and happy old people. Kind of random I know, but these things make me smile.

At school I laugh at jokes, (even if it's how cheesy the joke is), when stupid shit happens or when people are being silly.

Not only is your smile real this way, but by smiling at things in your environment you appreciate everyday life more and you end up having a better mood, which leads to smiling more in general. It's a way of living in the moment.

Related tips:

-Avoid negative situations when you can. Realize that 90% if not more of everyday problems/drama are bullshit and don't matter in the long run.

-Try to be self aware about your state, and gravitate towards people, situations, and activities that make you happy, or give you energy.

like this

Also, I hear good things about thinking of girls masturbating to the thought of you.

Ok I read all the other posts, except that link from throwaway...

None the less, sit around one day at home think back on some fond memories in front of a mirror. Make yourself think about the excitement the laughter. Close your eyes at first if necessary to get the energy in your head. Then almost laugh out loud a little if you have to just get that natural smile. Fool with it and you will be able to do it just on that thought, eventually just the feeling, to naturally

First of all you don't need a big smile. A quick smirk works pretty well. You can also try half smiling. Look at yourself in the mirror and see for yourself. You can see even the slightest smile. It's like watching a funny video on Reddit, you don't exactly laugh out loud but your face is visibly happy.

Secondly, you can get yourself to smile more by simply forcing yourself to smile a few minutes before you go out or when you wake up in the morning. Just remember something funny, look in the mirror and smile. You can also go through your pictures and see which smile suits you best. Practise that smile. Soon you will find yourself smiling at random strangers you walk past on the street.

If I'm fake smiling for something such as a photo or to fake laugh I just literally laugh at nothing. When you do a 'real' laugh you'll draw your eyes closed little more. Look in a mirror and just laugh but no noise, that's your nat smile.

As for smiling at women, Ive found a slight, cocky grin does well, see Matthew Mchoneghuey he's got the cocky grin Down. Not the best pic but google images his name. His confidence shines through the grin

Just remember all the times you've had girls moaning and running their hands through your hair because you're giving her an immensely good time. Works for me, all the time.

In terms of seduction I always think "I know something you don't know" in that kind of playground recess way you used to hear.

From book I was skimming in book store the other day (about eye contact, it was mentioned in another thread. I didn't come up with this myself):

Look at pictures of clothing store models (like a Sears catalog). Those are bad smiles. The jaw is tight, the teeth are touching inside their mouths. Do that in a mirror- you look creepy.

Look at GQ or pictures of George Clooney. The jaw is relaxed when they smile. You know your jaw is relaxed if you can move it side to side with your hand. Smiling like this creates a kind of shit eating grin which looks good, not creepy- try that in a mirror.

Years ago I practiced in the mirror until I got it right. Don't squint but use your cheeks to pull up the corners of your mouth. This will give you the desired look in your eyes with slight crow's feet. I like to start with the left half of my face a split second before the right.Open your mouth slightly, your teeth should not be touching. Pull your bottom lip down just a little bit. It's more desirable to expose the tops of your bottom teeth than more of your top gums. I also push my tongue so its touching the back of my teeth . My tongue isn't visible but it makes the smile feel more playful and real. Practice until your face gets tired then practice some more the next day. The whole process should be one fluid motion. Once you get it down you can play around with hundreds of variations for all occasions!

it's all in the eyes.

RobJudge · 2011-01-13T17:54:49+00:00

don't smile, smirk

ProzacLady · 2011-01-13T19:07:08+00:00

Practice in a mirror. Seriously. Practice in a mirror and note how the muscles in your face feel when you have a stupid smile, a cute smile, a "trying to hard" smile, and then use that muscle memory to deliver the smile you want when you need to.

quasiperiodic · 2011-01-13T19:43:21+00:00

if you're doing it right, you're enjoying her company. if you can just feel that strongly enough to make you smile, she'll feel it.

and if you're not enjoying yourself, maybe you should be focusing on that.

gnovos · 2011-01-13T22:00:17+00:00

Pick a side of your face and use that.

gerusz · 2011-01-14T10:52:40+00:00

Not like this. However, the smile you cracked while watching it? That might do.

TheSonofLiberty · 2011-01-13T07:49:25+00:00

I always have a smirk on my face :)

2011-01-13T08:10:01+00:00

Pretend like you're laughing. That's how I do it.

dmitch4300 · 2011-01-13T08:04:21+00:00

Say "cheese" a few times. Then do it without saying the word.

2011-01-13T16:18:38+00:00

If I'm having a really hard time smiling, I go to the end of a crowded bar to order a drink. When some girl wedges in next to me and starts with the small-talk, I fart. And then I tell her I farted.

those smiles last for hours
