@GeniUs I know that’s what it is. That’s why I detest it. If a guy wants to talk to me, then he should make a proper conversation with me and not talk about my appearance or my smile
@Jenny1234 Some people aren't good with words (you see many asking for advice on here or saying what they can't do) and so have to go with 'a line' and sometimes that takes a lot of courage since nobody likes getting rejected. Lighten up, these people generally aren't lotharios just ordinary guys making an effort.
If they told me im more handsome when i smile then yes id take that as a compliment. When a pretty gal throws you a compliment, it can change a horrid day into an awesome day. For men, atleast me and some others, when we get compliments we wonder if they're actually genuine.
I don't know about men in general but I would take it as a reminder to smile a little more. I have two reasons.
1. I find that taking people literally and assuming that they speak in good faith seems to cause less conflict.
2. I have noticed in a lot of the pictures that i take that my face looks rather serious and often a bit sad even when I know for sure that I was perfectly happy when the picture was taken.
However I do have sympathy with anyone who finds themselves on the receiving end of such a remark when it is a criticism.
@ninalanyon Totally agree.....In my pics I look like the most miserable and grumpy man in the world ...I am far from it...blessed in many ways ...and so happy to have met and know someone like Nina xx
Happens to me all the time. Their just telling you to be more happy because they dont get what your going through and it would make them happier to see you smile.
I would just take it as her noticing my bad mood and caring, but I do understand why women don't like it, it comes across as douchey when you say it to a woman because you're commenting on her looks.
