Smile with your eyes as they say, or as I say - squint.

You might want to check yourself when people tell you to cheer up. Might sound strange, but you're not actually always aware of your emotions. You can be depressed even if you don't feel depressed, and people can read it on your face even if you're not aware of it.

You just have to avoid looking goofy. Almost more of a smirk, but not too pretentious. Just always looks like you're satisfied with who you are.

Do you think dominant people really think about whether they're smiling or not?

It's a smile, not a fart. Put one on whenever you feel like, holmes.

"If you don't know how to put on a sexy smile, pretend you are fucking the living shit out of the girl you are talking to"

Practice in the mirror.

When it comes to body language of any kind, you must practice in the mirror

Well, no one likes to be around a Debbie Downer, so if people are telling you to "cheer up" or asking you if you're mad, then you're not doing something right. In fact, just avoiding negativity all together is a good first step for most guys.

Establishing dominance is also not merely about "not smiling" or coming up with a special way of smiling. It's about more of how you lead things, how you express what you feel with confidence and conviction, and a lot about not being needy or "outcome independent" as some like to say.

You work on that type of stuff and your smile will be perfectly fine. Ok, let's not be some high energy spaz, either.

But since you asked... here's how you should smile:

Ever had a moment whereby you reached a conclusion that benefited you in some manner, discovered by merely thinking about it over a period of time? A solution to a problem that just kind of popped into place that elated you with a "cheesy" grin on your face?

Yeah, that's a good smile.

I am not saying go around with a shit eating grin all day long, however, there's something to expressing your own self amusement about the world around you that simply attracts others.

It's a kind of grin out of the corner of you mouth type of thing is what you should be looking for. It's the "I got something going on right now and it's a good thing" type of grin. It's a bit mischievous and mostly self-amusing.

Smiling is disarming, so use it liberally in a calm, controlled manner and it'll be plenty masculine. Don't sweat it any further than that.

I have been trying this lately. Because i don't think i come across as particularly friendly, being tall dark and with big bushy eyebrows. Problem is I always forget to smile on greeting and parting and just generally while talking with others.

I dont really know what to do about this and the other issues i have. I have enough trouble keeping a conversation going or striking one up. It is beginning to make me miserable. At least before i was reasonably happy when unawares of my social ineptitude.

You know it's funny because I avoided this thread because every time I saw it all I could think was.. get braces.

I have a gap though. Doesn't hinder my game, but I tend to keep my teeth out of my smile.

Maybe one eyelash raised and a smirk? That's my thing.

Dominant smile = natural smile. This is mostly about inner game. In retrospect I used to feel like I was always forcing my smile and it didn't feel natural. To practice getting in touch with myself I listened to stand up comedy and smiled in the mirror to get used to my smile. When you start to feel comfortable with you smile wane off looking the mirror, especially in public places because you'll look obsessed with yourself. This is all from past experiences and when I got intouch with my smile I actually felt happier. I focused on the conversation and the other person rather than worry about my smile. The more you think about your smile the more fake it's going to look.
Good luck
