I am curious, how important do you think it is to smile. I have have seen routines where the pua is always laughing and smiling, and i have seen alpha's saying don't smile often.

I ask this because I have a... nihilistic looking face? I question it because I don't know how to describe it. My eyes look dead and bored, and I just about never smile and if i do its only a half smirk. It is in no way an actual reflection on how I feel though, I can be very amused and still not smile.

I still talk upbeat and playful, and find my eyebrows a powerful tool in place of a smile, as it can be used for amusement and cockiness.

I got that bored, been here done that look. So I ask of everyone for there opinions on the importance of smiling whether from the mouth or from the eyes. Is it necessary? Should it be used sparingly, or as much as possible? A happy smile or playful, et cetera...

Thoughts?

Just smile if there is anything that actually amuses YOURSELF. Don't do the fake oversmiling, it's pointless and fake.

You should be comfortable with everything you do. Don't think about it like "omg I should smile now to stay cool/alpha". It should just happen, naturally.

And as for caring yourself I believe you should have an overall friendly outlook. This is the first thing people notice when they look at you. You can't maken an impression like a serial killler. That wouldn't trigger possitive emotions in them.

Just be happy, get in state, and things like that get sorted out automaticly. When you think about details like that, you probably aren't in good state. And that will never lead to success.

Good post.

Yea I hear you on that;I've come across gurus who say dont smile often and some who say do otherwise.

It's all timing & calibration I guess.

You should'nt be smiling when she's in deep rapport talking about her dead pet.

But you should definitely smile when ppl pass.

You dont want to be the cheesy-guy smiling every second.

But it' sgood that you'd compensated with the eyebrow thing.

thanks for the replies everyone, you have definitely given me something to think about. Think I should drop by Inner Game for a bit and find ways to psych myself up a bit. It's just hard, I could blame it on the depression, but I'm sure it's just me. Getting pumped up is hard for me to do. =/

Smile man!

The guys that don't smile don't get laid. That's because they are too busy trying to look "cool" or "tough". While they are trying to look "cool" we are smiling and stealing their women away from them.

You can field test this yourself. Go out sarging without smiling that much, then go out sarging while smiling 35%-65% of the time and take a look at your results.

The field does not lie my friend.

I am glad I read this post, I go out solo sarging all the time and sometimes I am not smiling as much as I should. I always think about funny situations and I end up smiling or I will laugh at people acting silly. It is all about self amusment, this is very attractive to a woman. I remember about a week ago I was solo sarging in the day, in a gadget shop of all places and just laughing at some of the whacky novelty fake pregnancy testers they had, the shop assistant was next to me and we both started laughing. I opened, about how wrong it was to sell these, while i continued to laugh. The conversation continued I DHV by telling her I was out shopping for a present for my mum. We ended up having a natural convo, I never number closed her, simply because she wasn't attractive enough (sounds so shallow when you type it), but I know I could of if I wanted to.
