Oh I absolutely tended to smile when someone yelled it at me because it was like a jump-scare. I think of that video of a dog grinning that everyone shared, going Awwww he loves his people, when an expert would come into the comments and say, “Actually that’s a stress response. That is a very scared dog.”
One thing I loved about NYC though, was even though men got me to scared-smile a few times, if I caught one giving me the old up and down, I could tell him, “f*ck off you pig” and no one around me would even bat an eyelash. Ah, I miss it.
Just this week I was complaining to my daughter about my smile. Why does it always look crooked? Why is everyone else’s smile perfect? She looks up at me, I smile, she does a small eye roll 🙄 and goes back to her book. 🤷♀️
There is an obsession, in America anyway, with having your teeth show when you smile. Mine do not, so I'm not allowed on TV by law. Which is fine; I'd rather watch it. People judge me (a guy) as unhappy when I'm pleased as punch, just minding my own business and thinking about pizza. My biggest smile, lottery-winner-worthy, is a smirk. Photographers hate that -- I worked in the clothing biz for decades and went on countless photo shoots. I'm looking around for wax teeth/lips to insert just before the next family photo. I've got this.
Smiling on cue because “we look better “ is an old excuse for men being in control of our bodies and our lives. What! Our resting bitch face is too scary? Too bad!
