Smilling

[Guest Nelly]

Hi,

I get that question when I saw a picture of a MTF person. In real life I take very often a look to woman to see why they are look so feminine. I found out that woman allways smilling and man more often look angry. This is what I saw on the picture. Mayor part of the pictures are with angry looking or smilling people on it. So will it help to pass to start smilling more often? Will HRt help to smilly? Now my girlfriend said to me very often that I do not smill. I do not feel good enough that I can smill and look natural. I also try to make a picture of me in girlmode but it look not natural because of missing smilling.

Greetings

I agree with you, and I also find it hard to smile. Looking at pictures of genetic girls, they always have such nice smiles! I wish I had one like that!

I have such a dynamic face that I can move my expression to huge extremes without feeling it, so when I fake a smile I often over do it and look goofy

On the plus side, I can roll my tongue upside down, and wiggle my ears...

My problem is that I can't fake a smile very well. If I'm in a good mood and feeling happy, then it's no problem because the smile will come naturally. But unfortunately, most photos tend to catch me when I'm tired or not in such a good mood... so I usually appear more serious.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, though. Lots of women look serious in photos and are still very feminine. Just look at Victoria Beckham... I don't think I've ever seen her smile!

Hehehe. Don't worry, all my smiles look retarded and no one really picks me up as a genetic guy unless I hold a sign up saying so.

Hi Nelly,

Fake smiles always look fake - I'm a wedding photographer and I've seen a million of them. Girls with fake smiles look just like guys with fake smiles and transsexuals with fake smiles. So the only way to not look fake is to be genuine, be happy. The trick here is to try to think of something that makes you happy - get that thought in mind before you go out. I find that if I look in the mirror as I am thinking about it my smile looks fake - if I wait for a couple of minutes and glance in the mirror the corners of my mouth are still turned slightly upward and the lips are together but not too tight - a relaxed smile. This smile is rather easy to hold for long periods as long as you don't start asking yourself if you are smiling - then the lips come apart all of the teeth show and you begin to resemble a village idiot.

When you see yourself in a mirror or in a photograph with the small, close-lipped smile you will see a woman, even if you haven't shaved, put on make up or done anything else to make yourself look feminine. Adopt a happy attitude when you are presenting as a woman - that's what you've always wanted to be so how can you be anything but happy?

Love and smiles,

Sally

I don't think woman smile more. But I do think woman are touch based than men. For example giving a hand shake to woman makes you almost feel out of place. Regardless if male mode or female. IMO

i read this a day or so ago and just did some research by going to the mall and looking at ppl i realized that niether really frowns or smiles mre than the other seemed to be sorta equal between men and woman but i noticed between the men and the woman that wernt smiling at all i noticed the men seem to have this stressed or stern look about them and woman are just kinda blankish

i dont walk around smiling ear to ear i try and keep the corners of my mouth up turned alittle bit as to give a friendly deminor not quiet grinning but not frowning
