 |  smile at the opposite sex ?
I"m a really perky/happy person (well, on the outside, and I try to be as much as possible) smile alot, when I'm around my friends. But I'm scared to smile at guys because I don't want to give them the idea that I'm interested in them, in that way. so, i avoid smiling all together . I need to change this , because it makes me sad. and I don't want to spend my life like this. oh yeah, I wouldn't say I'm drop dead gorgeous so maybe I'm just being paranoid, and seeing things that aren't there or perceiving them to be. I'm just wondering what guys think when a girl smiles at them? Last edited by lightthecandle; 09-28-2007 at 10:53 PM. |

| It depends...
deleted post EDIT: GAH!! I can't get my post to come out right, one sec I have a response, really Here it is: Most guys are nice guys I think. However if a girl smiles at them out of the blue, a part of the man-brain kicks in that says, "hey, you might have a chance with her, go for it!" Especially if the girl is pretty. I think this thought is a hard-wired response. Us guys can't really help it. If you are a cute girl who is fun and cheerful, guys will naturally be attracted to you, whether you smile at them or not. If you smile at everybody, then guys are more likely to just think that you are just being your happy self. If you only smile at certain guys, then they are more likely to think about more than friendship. If you don't smile at all, then people won't be attracted to you that much, male or female.

If you smile consistently then most guys won't think they're receiving particular attention. don't worry about it You may draw special attention from a desperate guy who hasn't been smiled at since 1998 though! Last edited by Jim11; 09-29-2007 at 02:27 AM. |

Well, people always seem to look at me when im out and about. Many times girls will meet eyes with me and we will lock until we pass. Now I feel Im not in a position to date or have a relationship so I dont say anything or make moves. Now when we lock eyes and she smiles at me it really brightens my day. I dont care if she smiles to every guy she passes. (which women dont) On the other side though most of the time they DONT smile. They just stare at my eyes with no smile.... its not attractive even if they are hot. So in my opinion, I believe that you should smile. You dont have to walk around with a stupid grin on your face that just stinks of psycho. But you know what I mean... when a woman smiles their energy can really brighten anyones day. I love women... oh yeah anyway thats my opinion.   <Halcyon> |

What Halcyon said is right on. My bad days have been turned upside down many times simply because I exchanged smiles with a female stranger. That energy is what keeps us guys going, and it's clearly your gift to give. Don't hold back! Maybe you'll start getting approached when you'd rather not, but just take it as a compliment and continue to give your gift however you can.

Pretty girls don't smile as much as they should. Its a rare thing, but its Awesome when it happens. It's invigorating energy at its purest. However, I would say it takes a mature guy to see it that way. I didn't understand that for a long time.
