Do You Ever Smile? (No Wonder You’re Single)
Last summer I told women that the easiest way to get a man’s attention was by simply smiling. Save all the googly eyes and flicking of your hair because none of that really works. Sorry, most guys are just too oblivious to pick up on your subtle hints, but a smile is a clear and obvious sign that you’re approachable.
Think about, two people don’t even have to speak the same language to know that a smile is friendly sign. It’s just a universal signal of openness. However, a lot of people are walking around with scowls on their face, which is anything but inviting.
A lot of women complain about guys on the street telling them to smile. Well, if you actually were smiling then they wouldn’t have to tell you that, instead they might be remarking on how beautiful your smile actually is.
It’s just a thought.
Now I’m not saying that people should be walking around with toothy grins all day, because living in a crowded city like New York, I understand the reason why a lot of people don’t show their pearly whites (or sometimes yellows). You’re stressed out. You hate your job. You’re surrounded by a bunch of strangers. You just want to be left alone.
Trust me, I get it. It’s a defense mechanism of sorts. Even I stay with my New York mad face as soon as I walk outside the house and I really have to shake it off when I get home. But here’s the thing, if everyone’s walking around mean muggin’ and looking like they’re about to hurt someone, how the heck are we supposed to meet anyone?
I swear, I wish I walked around with a mirror so I could show some women how mean they look on the regular. Trust me, a girl with a scowl on her face is not sexy. She might actually be cute but that don’t-F-with-me ice grill is not going to make me approach anytime soon. The same goes for the fellas. We won’t smile in pictures. We rock a screwface 24/7 and wind up looking more scary than sexy to the ladies.
Well, my boy Paul Carrick Brunson the Modern Day Matchmaker has a solution in his latest guest vlog. He’s looking to wipe out mean muggin’ one day at a time with a new campaign called No Mean Muggin’ Mondays. I know it’s Friday, but there’s no rule that says you can’t get an early start on smiling more.
According to Paul, smiling not only looks good it makes you feel good as well. That energy can translate to scoring more dates and helping you network. In fact, some scientists say smiling more can provide you with more opportunities in life because others are more likely to approach you—that goes for business and pleasure.
Sounds like a win-win situation to me, but if you’re still not convinced peep Paul’s latest video for yourself.
Why do you think so many people don’t smile? Are you one of them? Why? Do you feel a difference in your energy when someone smiles at you or you smile? Do you agree that a smile is a great way to meet people? Ladies, do you hate when men on the street tell you to smile? Do you scowl on purpose just so men won’t approach you? Do you realize how mean you look? Would you approach a man that was frowning? Fellas, do you find women sexier when they smile? Are you guilty of rockin’ a screwface in public? Why? What do you think of Paul’s campaign? Will you try to smile more?
