I've noticed that women rarely smile in dating profiles - is this more projection on their part and they're mimicking what THEY find attractice in men?
rofl true :P , nah its becuase its uncomfortable to refocus your depth onto something super close, aswell as akward if the person looks into your eyes as thats a sign of intimidation, not intimacy
Exactly what i think. Smiling changes the feelings inside me, makes me feel happy, I will not put a fake angry face and so make me feel unhappy just to please some psychopath. They have to please me, not the reverse.
Bro, it's always about taking this kind of data with a grain of salt when it comes to the context. Social interactions are nuanced. How do we show pride as opposed to "smile" to a woman? That's absurd. In practice, a smile is part of a specific interaction, but that smile should come contextualized as high value. Not appearing overly giddy like a girl. A smirk, some smiles and laugh contextually. If someone is giddy and bubbly like a girl, then their laughs and smiles won't mean as much... BUT, what this kind of research matters THE MOST is JUST for the ATTRACTION PHASE. It's not within a relationship; Surely, inside the relationship you don't want to be too bubbly like a 8 year old girl ALL THE TIME. It's just about the average vibe they get from us. From a picture, how much info do we have? Just one picture. From a 5 minute conversation more data, from a 5 months relationship even more data.
@@lucasblanc1295 maybe. But I am neurotic so I always have to be careful about overthinking. I try to focus more on what feels right because my brain likes to use preparation as a distraction.
@@Teglamen I second that. Being “nice” is ironically shallow and self-serving and likely to make you a target. Being respectful, real and having serious teeth when you need to washes far better. “Nice people” have no fire and no depth. They’re too busy standing for nothing to be taken seriously by anyone.
Fellas, if you're happy and wanna smile, do it. Don't worry about what women say they want and don't want. You don't want to be phony and end up attracting girls that are liking a fake you. Like someone else said on here, I'm sure Chad can smile and the girls are fine with it. Stay away from stupid dating apps.
Agreed. These are all basic animal instincts. Women need to evolve the ability to choose WISELY. This ancient strategy of relying on raw animal displays of power is asinine. Just as men need to learn how to discern a 304 from a housewife, even if a 304 is far more outwardly attractive, so do women need to learn to BELIEVE in good men strong enough that it informs their loins what to get wet about. This is simply being a wise and civilized human, instead of an animal who is a slave to their instincts.
I agree, there are not absolutes when it comes to human interactions, many of my friends put on a false display of behaviors and mannerism when picking up girls but many girls can see through that, specially the ones pretending to be though guys but when they get confronted they're cowards, a Lion doesn't need to put on a facade infront of hienas, real confidence comes from control over your emotions, thats where most guys pretending to be something theyre not fail. manipulative people always end up manipulating themselves.
He says smile make you more femenin, but when man shows masculinity girls start to test and try to filter him, but when man acting totally femenin and even joking he's a gay and want to be trans girls switch off the filters and roles are changing, then she trying to be active and attract you, think about this hacks 😄
A male guy who smiles with kindness shows that he wants help and cares not only about himself but giving off positive energy around him. A person that you can trust if you treat him fairly.
I went to a party where I only knew one person so I decided to try an experiment. I didn't dance, I cultivated a "Why am I here?" look and kept my distance. The host, who was attractive, kept trying to get me to dance and I told her the party was full of tossers and that the music was crap. I did eventually dance to one tune with her and the next morning after she had driven a few overnight guests home she took me to my flat. I invited her in and we ended up in bed together. It wouldn't have happened if I had been my usual smiling self. Unfortunately, when I saw that acting a little "dangerous" made me attractive to women I adopted a persona which attracted the wrong sort of woman. The action was great but I felt like my soul was dying. I became so cynical after two nights with two married women that I didn't think I could fall in love again. Then I met my late girlfriend who was a fantastic human being. If she hadn't died of ovarian cancer I would still be with her.
sorry to hear about your late-girlfriend; but your right, if you continue in a path just for hookups that where earned by fundamentally not being yourself, you'll only end up bitter, and yeah as you said attract the wrong sorts of people
It's true. I couldn't sustain the pretense. I hated myself for living a lie and I hated them for being attracted to that kind of guy. My late girlfriend saved my life. I could finally be myself with her. And we did "normal" things together like going to movies and cooking for each other. It wasn't just about the bedroom fun. I felt clean for the first time in years.
I know the feeling. Many years ago, I was suckered into a relationship with my married ex-boss. One day, out of the blue, I received a telephone call from her husband demanding to know if I was f****ing his wife. She didn't warn me that she had told him about us, just lit the blue touch paper and stood back to watch the fireworks. She was the ultimate drama queen and loved being the centre of her own soap opera.
It's quite funny because I kind of learnt the about the smiling thing when I was 19. I had pretty much been the smiling joker until I had problems with this girl and other mutual friends. Not the point but definitely related to the non masculine way I conducted myself. I felt a bit down, smiled less and as a result this other girl became a bit keen on me. She said I was mature. I knew this couldn't be further from the truth and despite the fact that she meant it as a compliment, it rubbed me the wrong way a bit. I thought it was pretty ironic that I had to be miserable to be attractive to women.
Yeah its really weird how this stuff gets interpreted by girls. When I was 14 I had moved into a new town, which I really hated, I wanted to stay where I lived before. Losing my old friends and being forced into a new school system really made me feel like probably the lowest point in my life. I felt like I didnt fit in there at all and was felt really depressed. How did this effect my attractiveness to girls? Well, guess what, even though I wanted to avoid girls like the plague I actually became the most wanted guy in the class. It was quite a surreal experience, girls wanted to cycle to school together with me, wanted to sit next to me or on my lap even, and even asked me on dates even if I had barely ever said a word to them. All of those advances I refused and rejected, because I really didnt want anything to do with it. After that year I went into therapy and was able to regain my happiness again. After that I still got female attention, but definetly not in the insane amounts as when I felt absolutely miserable.
@@rymreaper funny story that one too, but I guess I'm on the right channel. Had been seeing a girl for 6 months and had done nothing. No hand holding, kissing nothing (right? Wrong? You be the judge). Been on many "dates" and this one night we'd been out and I dropped her back at home. We were in my car and she goes to give me a peck on the cheek and I think she's going for a pash so I turn my head to face her. She pulls away and so do I. I take a few seconds to compose myself and see her freaking out trying to unlock the car door (she was looking for a button you pull up near the window but it was a switch lower on the door). I unlock the door from the driver's side and she runs out and into her house like her life depends on it. I spoke to her a few days later and do you think she regretted the misunderstanding? Nope! Apparently I was in too much of a hurry and had locked her in the car. Remember I had been seeing her for 6 months. I thought the name was appropriate.
women: "guys are creepy." also women: "he smiled at me, no thanks." women again: "how do i know if he likes me" and again: "i wish hed just give me a sign"
Sure but it shouldn't matter if women are wondering "if he likes me" because it's her "job" if you will to ruminate about romantic connections, and it's his job to decide if he likes her and to initiate action if so.
nothing but facts. i used to be smiling all the time because i am a happy person but i came across as eager and didnt realize it. then i stopped smiling alot to the point where girls say you should smile more. i think not smiling when you look at her says to her that you're not overly excited about her presence and she's just another human being that you don't pedestalize.
I took a course that I paid 1000 dollars for which taught me the importance of social skills. The first lesson was low status behaviors. Smiling was considered one of them because it comes off fake. For example, if you laugh and smile at everything, you are just a bot that always gives positive validation. Instead they said to smile when they really earned it. Make people work for a smile. Your value increases this way. But I'm like you. I'm naturally a happy person so I be smiling even if I don't have a reason too.
@@mario125ww sometimes i just Walk around smiling because i feel great joy without a reason. Also smiling is very healthy so i dont know If i should try to not smile and be someone else just because women like it. What are others examples for low status behaviour?
Nah fam, you're looking at everything wrong Don't ever stop smiling, life is beautiful. Thru the ups and downs. The less you smile the more grief and negative auras will be attracted You are what you attract
They want you to be funny. They don’t want you to smile. When I’m being genuinely funny, I find it funny...and I smile. I’d rather smile when I feel like it than edit myself in order to elicit attraction.
@@Teglamen yeah I think that’s the fundamental difference. There are smiles that say I’m harmless, and there are smiles that are a genuine expression of what is amusing you or making you happy.
Trust me. They don't want you to be funny. It causes them to not take a guy seriously. One of my stand-up jokes gets at the fact that there aren't any women hanging out at comedy clubs trying to pick male comedians up after the show.
My smile is the only thing I've been randomly commented on by strangers so I'm gonna keep smiling no matter what science says. It also massively invites people to talk to you, which allows you to form more friendships.
Likely the results are falsified. the pictures are based on acting, (false smiles) which anyone would find unattractive. If a really high testosterone masculine good looking guy smiles at a woman, theres no way she will find him unattractive. if everything else in him is attractive to the woman. its just common sense and biology.
Smiling changes the feelings inside me, makes me feel happy, I will not put a fake angry face and so make me feel unhappy just to please some psychopath. They have to please me, not the reverse.
Had one of those myself. She's not invited to my wedding, and she's got a five year ban from my life, to make sure that my lady and I get to start fresh!
@@distributistsshrekvideo the point I'm trying to make is imagine not smiling to appear more attractive to women. It's a looks addition, literally no point being stone face and not smiling when you want to because of a insignificant hit to looks.
Reserve your smiles but don’t deprive them of it. My wife constantly reminds me that seeing my stoic murder face morphing into a genuine smile because i see her, still makes her happy.
@@inconnu4961 true true but it's a joke I do know Leg day is important. And does add to you in looking dangerous if you have good legs . It is also important for balance and movement helps in martial arts . Legs are very important.
This makes perfect sense. When a man smiles it indicates that he is happy and is probably spending his own money on himself rather than on her. Women detest this. Studies also show that a woman likes to start arguments to see her man under distress because it indicates that he is fully invested in the relationship.
My technique has always been: dont smile AT them. Smile AROUND them. Find something to smile about. This type of action sparks their curiosity. Whats he happy about? And they get to see a glimpse of your smile at the same time.
The funny thing nobody points out is, if the guy is unnattractive everything is unattractive, I can bet 100% if women HAD to decide which one was more attractive is they won't go by that point of view, so they'll choose who looks least attractive instead, they have to picture a good looking guy with those emotions to determine an answer.
This study was more about relativity. It shows what they think of the attitudes not the specific male. If one were invisible to them, nothing matters anyway.
I stopped smiling at women but I also stopped seeking their attention now I understand why. I'm glad, I would not have been happy being with a women who wants me to be parmanently in attack mode. Yes better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war but I'm not gonna make myself miserable for them.
Smiling changes the feelings inside me, makes me feel happy, I will not put a fake angry face and so make me feel unhappy just to please some psychopath. They have to please me, not the reverse.
You know, I had this single mom proposition me after texting me on accident. I handled the initial conversation well, but it was difficult to get her to back off. How did I do it? I gave empty compliments, and sent her pictures of me smiling. Shut that down really fast. My most successful period of romantic success was when I was practicing martial arts. I was fit, confident, and a bit dangerous. It is crazy because looking into a lot of self help books on making friends they tell you to smile, yet it's better to be neutral or shameful than to show happiness.
Am considered unattractive to the modern woman, so I never smile or give them a hint that they might perceive as "I like you" ; because most of the times, if the woman doesn't find me attractive, she will begin acting rude, hostile and impolite; so I just keep it neutral and never ever give her any hint that I like her even if I actually do like her. If she is the one smiling, making advances, etc..., that is a different question.
This is exactly me. I'm always neutral even when I like a women. I feel I don't deserve to smile when I like a girl because I think I'm perceived unattractive by modern girls
@@cockcarousel A smile isn't just "😬". You can smile with your lips and eyes. And if you have good friends, they won't be bothered by your teeth, they'll just want you to be happy. If you have really good friends, they'll even help you have your teeth fixed because life in general is much better with healthy teeth.
@@scr4932 It's easy to say. People do wonder why you don't laught properly, when a joke is told. Friends? Got none. Poverty for the whole lenght of my adulthood. No jobs, no social skills, the worst genes for woman (5'7, boyish frame, 5/10 looks). That's my life.
The women choice is really interesting. I mean, there's very small variance. The variance might be even higher if you had a random distribution (on a small sample). Do women even feel, i.e. have empathy or are all of their feeling merely narcissistic and self-centered? Are they all sociopaths?
Interesting, did he say how many women they asked? Also it could maybe be a good thing for the guys that are ashamed or happy etc because there's less of a chance that they won't prefer you
No. If they don't like you / the way you look - it will be labeled creepy, harassing and manipulative. You will find yourself on the end of a social media dog pile, fine, imprisonment and a black listing. Give them nothing. Return their RBF.
I mean this is only true of female trash. Women aren't fundamentally driven by looks as we are. They're not blind, like they can observe that a man has good genetic markers or whatever but because they're emotionally driven they're more concerned about how they feel. So the only elements of the way you look that genuinely affect normal women are the ones that affect the way they feel e.g. do you make them feel safe/protected due to your body language and posture. Everything else is way less important. If a woman turns out to be actually genuinely surface-level shallow then yes you should avoid her, but those women aren't and shouldn't be attractive pretty much the instant you find this out.
This is so true. I was chatting to a girl in night bar and the bouncer said something derogatory to me. I called him out and I escalated my aggression towards him until he backed down. So that ended I looked around for the same girl and I could see her right in the corner looking at me. I sure I had ruined my chances with her but that wasn't the case. It really was a burning bush moment for me.
I think it is important to show both sides: One side that you can be trusted (smile) and one side that you are strong and protective. Yeah you have to be a threat, but she has to be sure that you are not a threat to her. You can do a smirk. More important is that you don't smile just at everybody, but just when you see her. When she sees you looking with focus, but only smiling at her, that makes her feel special, because she is the only one who can make you smile and see your "soft side". Ofc she has to earn seeing your soft side. Start with a smirk and a glance that she is your prey. To later on you can show the "soft side" Think of yourself as a book character: When you are always "happy" you are boring. When you are always a "threat" you are boring or she is scared of you. Why wouldn't you be a threat to her? Twist it. Show a lot of different sides of yourself. Naturally happening, not forced and overwhelming. Start with what is most interesting for another person to drive them into your story and get them hooked. Start with a smirk, be happy, be vulnerable, be a threat and full of force to reach your dreams / to do justice. Give off the feeling that you don't need her, but that you like her. Ofc the better your looks, the more mistakes you can make. You can improve your looks and your force/strength with a lot of sport and the right diet. Do that!
Some people smile when they're nervous... as a defense mechanism against potential threats when they're not confident in their physical and verbal abilities. Sometimes smiling can offend someone. Cowards who smile a lot will avoid smiling in such situations. E.g. some dude threatens violence, and you smile it off like it's joke.
Very interesting, makes sense in a way. Personally I smile because I’m at peace. Never had problems with women. Now that I know women find it unattractive gonna smile more because zero fs given. Changing for a woman will only bring disappointment. Stay on your purpose gents.
Women finding men showing shame more 'attractive' than happy ones is very easily explained. Guilt and shame lead to easy manipulation levers for women, happiness not so much.
I never smile at women. Never. If it's a work colleague, I politely nod in greeting and say good morning or whatever, but none of that smiling, friendly banter nonsense. And if it's out in the wild, I never engage at all. Avoid eye contact with them, say nothing to them. If they say something to me first I will politely answer, but I still won't smile. That is, unless I find that person attractive and see a potential date. I'll let the guard down a little but I still won't be smiling, just more willing to engage in conversation. Ironically being cold and emotionless around women has gotten me a lot of dates whereas before when I tried to be nice and smile at people (because women told me they like it when men are friendly and smile) all I got was the opportunity to be treated like a brother or asexual best friend.
I love it and think you could have added that smiling is an inate signal of submission in primates. For me, "Mama's last hug" from Frans de Waal was eye opening to understand human interactions. Animal emotions might be great for a Patreon video :)
Love this point. It's funny because I am always careful not to show my teeth in interactions with wild animals, but I never thought about whether or not I should show them to women lmao
@@BarryStyles Haha this is so on point! Actually the "lack of empathy and narcism" might just be a natural reaction to a submissive male. He becomes the pray.
As a woman, i can say I have passed good looking guys out and about and i always thought it attractive if their eyes met yours and they just gave you a brief smile of friendliness. It wasn't usually a big teeth showing smile though. I think just looking at these photos is entirely different....so it can be a lot to do with context.
Keyword "good looking guys" how about less attractive guys or downright ugly guys? You realise that in the exact same situation you would consider it creepy or it would freak you out.
I always been serious and cold by nature since a child never believed in love, but society always told me that I should smile more be more friendly and kind even though I am kind, now I am starting to discover why the advice to be yourself works it was the way I was before trying to acommodate to society.
🎉Smiling changes the feelings inside me, makes me feel happy, I will not put a fake angry face and so make me feel unhappy just to please some psychopath. They have to please me, not the reverse.
Women are looking for very different things than men. I definitely notice a woman's smile. But that's not enough. I listen to the way they talk and watch how they interact with other people. That's what separates the pretty girls from the ones I'd actually want to know better.
Worked in a pawnshop for years, and one of our regulars who was quite easy on the eyes and always nice...but never really took any notice that I existed until one day I became aggressive with a rude customer. From then on, she always went out of her way to say hello to me or get my attention.
Funny that women find pride the most attractive when most women will tell you, "Egos on guys are so ugly." Apparently they are all lying to themselves.
Not exactly. They are criticizing the man they fell for. Every time a woman speaks about men, and what she thinks men "should" be like, etc. She is talking about an actual real man from her past who was NOT like that, because she believes that it would have worked out with him if he WAS like that. Obviously, she can't take responsibility herself, so it must be him and his lack of: insert terrible advice here. She genuinely believes that she is giving you nuggets of GOLD with this advice, because she pictures Chad doing it with her and it makes rainbows shoot out of her 🌈💦
Yes, just let loose with one of those maniacal laughs that the villain in old movies used to do just after revealing their insane plan to take over the world! That will get them.
i like doing this: when i randomly cross looks with a random girl, i wait no more than two seconds to see if i catched her eye, if i did, i go from neutral to smile. i really enjoy their responses. they vary. many of them seem attracted to it. its like a flirt revival , a tradition that is beeing brought back from the dead. away from social media.
Great take! I've had this idea just a few days ago. I had the same thought for two hours I was thinking about every variable. All my experiences so far have led me to understand one key fact.
This is a good lesson for people. I'd like to add that the context of your smiling makes a big difference. Extremely simplified, (I don't care to open my full views right now), so the simplified rule I suggest to follow is if you don't what to do, the less familiar you are with a woman, the less you smile. In a long term relationship those open expressions of positive emotions including laughing and smiling can get quite important. So months into relationships there shouldn't be much of a reason to suppress who you are, you already should have proven your value. But all of this comes with practice, training your eyes (observational skills) and your game (communication skills specifically targeted to keep you attractive or interesting).
The key is understanding there are tons of women that aren’t worth any of your attention. If you being kind and caring and happy is unattractive to most women then so be it. Use this as a makeshift filter for all those women that aren’t for you anyways. Find one who values the same things as you and who loves you for who you are not the potential you seem to possess. Don’t waste your time on all the others for it is doomed to fail with them anyway.
@Alexander Grace I Thank you so much! One of my close friend who is a married girl, asked me why am I smiling so much... I was shock back then that she literally said, seeing me smiling making me unattractive. I did not understand but after watching this research of yours now I see why. Thank you my friend. From now on, I am gonna smile from inside and show more pride and boast off any time I can without faking of course.
It depends entirely on how you look. I used to always try to be friendly but it only half worked for positive results with women. As a guy whos 6ft1, 215lb of muscle, with thick bear and kind of angry looking by default (mean muggin asshole face) with a kind of aggressive demeanor with how I carry myself, I actually did WAY better leaning into that. In fact the more dangerous and kind of brooding I looked, the more women I attracted or received positive feedback from women that I was later told by mutual friends "he looks kind of angry in a dangerous type of way....i find it hot" Also if I had to employ physicality in situations, whether it was to deal with an aggressive drunk dude at a party, some with physic explosively like chopping wood or doing demolition , etc it would literally bring women to me out of the wood work. Ever single time when working as a bouncer or at a party when I man handled some dude and threw him out, women would magically appear to give me their phone number. So no, no you don't have to smile but you probably should in day to day events just to be more approachable by all people and because it has neurological benefits for you and everyone around you. When it comes to female attraction, high testosterone traits/actions in men > everything else by a considerable margin.
This is wrong. Doesn't matter if you smile or not. Only matters if you are handsome or not (and by modern women's standards, handsome is nothing less than an 8/10). A handsome, tall guy smiling or not smiling will attract women and an average to below average guy (like the one in the study) will not attract women. Study shows no significance values and is a small sample size - the variation in female responses to the guy's different poses doesn't seem to be significant enough - it more shows that women by and large rate an average guy low no matter how he presents himself.
@@cv6176 Nope. Tall handsome guy smiles = charming, charismatic. Average guy smiles = nice guy (friendzone material). Tall handsome guy doesn't smile = mysterious. Average guy doesn't smile = boring or angry. To woman, looks = personality. Wake up bro
Ive watched your videos for a while now. But I really loved how you did sort of a compare and contrast with your older videos: your older style of smiling versus not smiling; and how it worked for the interview videos versus the attraction videos. That was a really honest and practical teaching. I feel not a lot of CZcamsrs do that... where they compare and contrast against their own content. It's like they just forget their old content ever existed (like the WWE). You even said "scroll back five years ago". You don't see that specificity and transparency a lot these days.
Smiling or not smiling, I think might be seeing it from the wrong angle. Because you can smile in an I am in control way and you can smile in a don't hurt me way, both of those are very different smiles but they are still both smiles. Sometimes the most threatning thing you can do is smile, I feel like something here is still being missed.
Lol. Science? No wonder all the experts are “baffled” all the time. Smiling works. Here are the findings of my 35 year study of women. Worked when I was a skinny 14 year old punk, when I was 28 and 25 lbs overweight and now at 50 when I’m in great shape. You see a pretty woman. You catch her eye and smile at her. If she smiles back, approach and say hello, because she finds you attractive. If she does not smile back, do not approach her, because she’s not interested. It’s that simple.
Idk why but this video right here just hits the spot for me. Like something finally clicked for me. As if all my previous knowledge and ideas about this are drawn to the conclusion in the video. Just wow. A weird feeling for sure, but in a good way
Yeah, I always noticed this too: None of my happy, joyful guy friends has girlfriends. Although, one of them finally managed to find a wife through a dating app and have kids. but that's only after he had spent countless days and effort going for other dating events, to the point where he was already 30.
Well it's certain a woman is never going to come along and desire a dude who's not enjoying his himself in his own life. There is no other option where your waiting to live a full life until a woman is around. The guys being performative end up exhausted especially nowadays. Your mates got it right, A happy and joyful life not dependent on a woman to allow yourself that.
@@DionLYAfrom all of our exchanged information on the internet on these platforms and shared experiences from each other that we've gathered as of right now, the current dating market and seeing relationships is a dumpster fire in the west, the US most especially. People are jaded AF out there, From being fed up. The apps are a barren wasteland, men far outnumber women profiles on them. And the people that have been perpetually on them make it so they're full of emotionally damaged and full of mental baggage wahmens, the likes ove ever seen in my lifetime, lol. Love your own life for you now, because the clock is ticking o this life and its just too dang short to jaded and disappointed like a lot of these dudes out here sadly.
so do not demonstrate happiness, do not smile and stop feeling shame - sounds like healthy life advices, which will not end up in mental disorders, right?
If you live in western society, we assume you already have the mental disorders! If you are trying to sexually attract women! if you are not, do what you like! I hope you arent always thinking in terms of sexually attracting women? THats no way for a healthy man to live!
Are you saying because you're in a relationship, you don't need to be masculine anymore? Women often lose attraction to their partners/husbands, could this be why?
That's probably because you looked depressed when you didn't smile. Aloof and competent is the non smiling look you should aim for, if you can't get that then it's better to smile than look like you're 2 days away from topping yourself
This is sooo relevent to what I'm going through at present!!! I had a debate with a "submissive male" in the gym about whether women like objective or subjective men. I told him they have a preference for objective men, he disagreed. I should probably add that this guy is the most friendly, playful, light-hearted guy in the gym. However when we went around asking females, they all agreed with me, he then asked a couple guys who agreed with me. He became furious, nasty and extremely rude. It was like night and day, the nice and sweet guy disappeared and I saw the true him before he stormed off. In that moment I realised why women don't like nice guys. The old saying goes, "what tastes sweet in the mouth, turns sour in the belly". Thank you for this video that further proves my realisation.
This is damning for women. Not only do they pick arrogance , They rate mens happiness as the least attractive. Alexander, don’t say that a smiling man makes a woman feel “scared” etc. I’m tired of the whole “creep “ description women give men. Women are as safe as they have ever been, and if they truly felt unsafe, they wouldn’t get naked on social media. The truth is, they don’t want a man to be happy. They want him to be in a state of constant turmoil and , against what’s said here, a constant state of AGGRESSION! Yes i said it. I hear so many feminists saying “men are the problem with the world. “Men are violent and aggressive” Well guess what ladies? The men who are violent and aggressive are raised by SINGLE MOTHERS aka WOMEN. So who is the “TOXIC” sex???? Every guy who has been a normal kid and gone to school has noticed that bullies get more sex than non bullies. SAYS IT ALL. I’ve seen women, girls, even women seen as “high value” even “kind” see two guys fighting , usually over said girl, and they scream for them to stop , yet do absolutely nothing to help the situation. Women like it. They like the violence. I don’t care what you say, I see this all the time. Also back to bullies. If the girls boyfriend bullies a kid. I mean does something cruel and violent towards a weaker guy, she will ACT in front of everyone and tell the guy to stop it. Yet after some poor runt has been beaten up etc, she walks away with the same guy who just committed and act of violence against another human being. This doesn’t change the womens feelings towards her boyfriend, and in fact I would say it’s almost like a sh*t test , as she always stays with the bully. That’s disgusting behavior. You are rewarding violent behavior yet “me too” is so strong. People can deny this, say I’m wrong, but actions are all that matter here. If women had VALUES, bullies wouldn’t get p*ssy, That is all. I dont buy into a woman not trusting a smiling man. I’m gonna be kind to others. If that turns off a female, Then Great. She just showed me her true self.
aside from terrible women choosing terrible men in this, the reason they do it is a paradox. see, if you have an enemy tribe then you need "strong" men to protect you. over time you breed these men to become "stronger" so you are more protected. that's the collective psychology of women. That useful. What's not is terrible women not knowing what "strong" is and for what "reason"
It definitely depends on the smile, that guy has an awkward smile makes him seem off, but some guys have sly charming smiles that girls definitely find sexy, think Leonardo Dicaprio, John Stamos, Paul walker, Brad Pitt, Bradley Cooper, the list goes on. I can also say from personal experience my smile is what gets complimented most from women and definitely gets me much further than when I don't smile.
I think a subtle closed mouth smile, with an eye expression that matches, can be quite attractive to women. Its almost more of a look of confidence than "smiling"
@@SchemingGoldberg I'm 5 foot 3 average face and not rich. Girls love my smile because I have the same type of smile as those actors. If you have a good smile, smile, if you don't then obviously smiling won't be sexy even on rich attractive men, I can give plenty of examples. I only give examples of famous people because if I name random people I know it won't mean anything, you can at least Google famous people to see what I mean. The research presented in this video is just very weak.
I got it wrong, i thought neutral is most attractive because I was coming from a pessimistic view and the guy looks good when he has neutral face and it's the most intimidating out of all. I did thought pride could be close. But thank god it's they find most attractive, as it does display genuine sense of accomplishment, happiness in a masculine way and it can't be faked. My teacher who I flirted told me I smile a lot , then she saw my neutral face and got concerned, my neutral face is unapproachable and threatening. Especially after gymming. It took like 6 months for my friends to be comfortable with me. Now that i know pride is attractive so I can atleast be genuinely happy. I thought this video was depressing. It is kind of considering smiling too much and being friendly is considered feminine.
I knew this most of my life. I realized when I was very young that being super happy didn’t get me anywhere but being more aggressive and boastful in a bragging way did. I used to be jealous of women a bit because I always felt women could basically act however they feel and society embraced it. Especially if they are slightly pretty. I’ve always been a good looking guy, but I couldn’t express genuine happiness. As in just being happy. I had to channel that into pride and boastfulness if I wanted to have a good outcome with relationships. I’ve done it most of my life at this point. I’m in a long term relationship now but I still do the same. I actually find that having the same attitude keeps my partner attracted as well. When I show indifference she tends to seek my approval in things but when I’m overly outgoing and happy in general, she pulls away.
I love how you make the videos on actual studies. Makes your advice so much more solid. Could you make a video on when should a man smile to a women? Like, when's the right time to smile?
I'm calling B.S. due to personal Experience. I get women more when I smile, I have met women at Bars and they told me they liked my smile It's gotten me laid. Where not smiling I just look mean or intimidating. Now maybe in Pictures on Dating Apps It might be a bit different. I even sent a picture to a girl I met on an app of me smiling and she said "You could get any girl!" but she pissed me off with flaky behavior so I declined. Most women are not worth the time these days. I had a short friend about 5'7" with great smile and he's smile and say how you doing! He got laid all of the time!
What's wrong is smiling just to please. But if you're someone who enjoys the company of others, then you'll smile genuinely, and it feels really good. I believe women detect fake smiles and know they come from fear rather than self-confidence. And even if it would harm you with women, if you're happy you should smile; life is much more pleasant this way. And getting a woman isn't hard whether you're serious or smiling... that's something you should incorporate into your mindset.
interesting. I never liked to smile anyway so I think this is rather good news. Unfortunately my face looks rather angry or sad even if it's neutral. I've been like this since very early childhood. But like I always say... not everything is as it looks.
Idk man there may be more variables to this. Smiling attracts humans to each other, all I did was mostly smile when I use to talk to girls and I use to do well. So This might depend on certain factors.
It definitely does. That photo seems a bit staged and forced to me. In reality if i pass men and they just do a friendly smile, I find it quite nice...but then same if I pass women and they smile. Usually the smiles aren't all open and toothy though...just seems a bit ott....
When I got into my first somewhat serious relationship the first time I approached her I didnt smile while talking to her. I just had good eye contact, body language and spoke well. Very occasionally I did smile and after I left she gave me a very flirtatious indicator of looking forward to seeing me again. I cant remember what she said because it was so long ago, but I remember feeling after the fact “why did she seem so interested in me when I wasn’t really doing much? But I just appeared more masculine. The funny thing is that I dont even want to smile all the time. I am naturally more stoic faced and I always tell myself to try and smile more but it can come off forced and unnatural. This video is kind of reassuring for me cause it gives me more permission to be myself.
Same here. I have one of those stoic faces myself. Women are always telling me I should smile more, which is the only thing that makes me somewhat question this study.
I rarely smile around women. Nothing worth smiling about. I was told at some point in my life by a girl that wanted to date me that I had a fan club of other women. But most were too scared to talk to me. I was either neutral or scowling. So there ya go, women be crazy.

I don't care about what "women" find most attractive I care about what feels right and if that is unattractive to some women then they are not for me.
Exactly what i think. Smiling changes the feelings inside me, makes me feel happy, I will not put a fake angry face and so make me feel unhappy just to please some psychopath. They have to please me, not the reverse.
BIG MAN YEAAAAH@@Frivals
Bro, it's always about taking this kind of data with a grain of salt when it comes to the context. Social interactions are nuanced. How do we show pride as opposed to "smile" to a woman? That's absurd. In practice, a smile is part of a specific interaction, but that smile should come contextualized as high value. Not appearing overly giddy like a girl. A smirk, some smiles and laugh contextually. If someone is giddy and bubbly like a girl, then their laughs and smiles won't mean as much... BUT, what this kind of research matters THE MOST is JUST for the ATTRACTION PHASE. It's not within a relationship; Surely, inside the relationship you don't want to be too bubbly like a 8 year old girl ALL THE TIME. It's just about the average vibe they get from us.
From a picture, how much info do we have? Just one picture. From a 5 minute conversation more data, from a 5 months relationship even more data.

@@Teglamen I try to be my absolute nicest to everyone, but that doesn't mean being naive.
Fellas, if you're happy and wanna smile, do it. Don't worry about what women say they want and don't want. You don't want to be phony and end up attracting girls that are liking a fake you. Like someone else said on here, I'm sure Chad can smile and the girls are fine with it. Stay away from stupid dating apps.
Agreed. These are all basic animal instincts. Women need to evolve the ability to choose WISELY. This ancient strategy of relying on raw animal displays of power is asinine. Just as men need to learn how to discern a 304 from a housewife, even if a 304 is far more outwardly attractive, so do women need to learn to BELIEVE in good men strong enough that it informs their loins what to get wet about.
This is simply being a wise and civilized human, instead of an animal who is a slave to their instincts.
WELL SAID
I agree, there are not absolutes when it comes to human interactions, many of my friends put on a false display of behaviors and mannerism when picking up girls but many girls can see through that, specially the ones pretending to be though guys but when they get confronted they're cowards, a Lion doesn't need to put on a facade infront of hienas, real confidence comes from control over your emotions, thats where most guys pretending to be something theyre not fail.

@@LiamNajor then don't bleeping incur an honest man's wrath?
This comment here, thank you.
I went to a party where I only knew one person so I decided to try an experiment. I didn't dance, I cultivated a "Why am I here?" look and kept my distance. The host, who was attractive, kept trying to get me to dance and I told her the party was full of tossers and that the music was crap. I did eventually dance to one tune with her and the next morning after she had driven a few overnight guests home she took me to my flat. I invited her in and we ended up in bed together. It wouldn't have happened if I had been my usual smiling self. Unfortunately, when I saw that acting a little "dangerous" made me attractive to women I adopted a persona which attracted the wrong sort of woman. The action was great but I felt like my soul was dying. I became so cynical after two nights with two married women that I didn't think I could fall in love again. Then I met my late girlfriend who was a fantastic human being. If she hadn't died of ovarian cancer I would still be with her.
sorry to hear about your late-girlfriend; but your right, if you continue in a path just for hookups that where earned by fundamentally not being yourself, you'll only end up bitter, and yeah as you said attract the wrong sorts of people
It's true. I couldn't sustain the pretense. I hated myself for living a lie and I hated them for being attracted to that kind of guy. My late girlfriend saved my life. I could finally be myself with her. And we did "normal" things together like going to movies and cooking for each other. It wasn't just about the bedroom fun. I felt clean for the first time in years.
Great story, my condolences about your late gf.
Well, that was a rollercoaster of a story. My condolences, brother
I know the feeling. Many years ago, I was suckered into a relationship with my married ex-boss. One day, out of the blue, I received a telephone call from her husband demanding to know if I was f****ing his wife. She didn't warn me that she had told him about us, just lit the blue touch paper and stood back to watch the fireworks. She was the ultimate drama queen and loved being the centre of her own soap opera.
It's quite funny because I kind of learnt the about the smiling thing when I was 19. I had pretty much been the smiling joker until I had problems with this girl and other mutual friends. Not the point but definitely related to the non masculine way I conducted myself. I felt a bit down, smiled less and as a result this other girl became a bit keen on me. She said I was mature. I knew this couldn't be further from the truth and despite the fact that she meant it as a compliment, it rubbed me the wrong way a bit. I thought it was pretty ironic that I had to be miserable to be attractive to women.
Yeah its really weird how this stuff gets interpreted by girls. When I was 14 I had moved into a new town, which I really hated, I wanted to stay where I lived before. Losing my old friends and being forced into a new school system really made me feel like probably the lowest point in my life. I felt like I didnt fit in there at all and was felt really depressed. How did this effect my attractiveness to girls? Well, guess what, even though I wanted to avoid girls like the plague I actually became the most wanted guy in the class. It was quite a surreal experience, girls wanted to cycle to school together with me, wanted to sit next to me or on my lap even, and even asked me on dates even if I had barely ever said a word to them. All of those advances I refused and rejected, because I really didnt want anything to do with it.
After that year I went into therapy and was able to regain my happiness again. After that I still got female attention, but definetly not in the insane amounts as when I felt absolutely miserable.
Bruh ur name
@@rymreaper funny story that one too, but I guess I'm on the right channel. Had been seeing a girl for 6 months and had done nothing. No hand holding, kissing nothing (right? Wrong? You be the judge). Been on many "dates" and this one night we'd been out and I dropped her back at home. We were in my car and she goes to give me a peck on the cheek and I think she's going for a pash so I turn my head to face her. She pulls away and so do I. I take a few seconds to compose myself and see her freaking out trying to unlock the car door (she was looking for a button you pull up near the window but it was a switch lower on the door). I unlock the door from the driver's side and she runs out and into her house like her life depends on it. I spoke to her a few days later and do you think she regretted the misunderstanding? Nope! Apparently I was in too much of a hurry and had locked her in the car. Remember I had been seeing her for 6 months. I thought the name was appropriate.
@@benvergus1573 Such a Chad that you're the one refusing girls and not the other way around
You don't have to miserable. It's just you're not amused by them any more. You're experienced, aloof, have masteries etc.
women: "guys are creepy."
also women: "he smiled at me, no thanks."
women again: "how do i know if he likes me"
and again: "i wish hed just give me a sign"
The truth is that ppl have difficulties realizing all the inner psychological and biological needs and make sense of it.
Sure but it shouldn't matter if women are wondering "if he likes me" because it's her "job" if you will to ruminate about romantic connections, and it's his job to decide if he likes her and to initiate action if so.

just give her a sign ffs
Not to mention if a woman likes a guy she is usually an absolute stalker creep. Going through all their social media etc etc
nothing but facts. i used to be smiling all the time because i am a happy person but i came across as eager and didnt realize it. then i stopped smiling alot to the point where girls say you should smile more. i think not smiling when you look at her says to her that you're not overly excited about her presence and she's just another human being that you don't pedestalize.
I took a course that I paid 1000 dollars for which taught me the importance of social skills. The first lesson was low status behaviors. Smiling was considered one of them because it comes off fake. For example, if you laugh and smile at everything, you are just a bot that always gives positive validation.
Instead they said to smile when they really earned it. Make people work for a smile. Your value increases this way.
But I'm like you. I'm naturally a happy person so I be smiling even if I don't have a reason too.

Likely the results are falsified. the pictures are based on acting, (false smiles) which anyone would find unattractive. If a really high testosterone masculine good looking guy smiles at a woman, theres no way she will find him unattractive. if everything else in him is attractive to the woman. its just common sense and biology.

This makes perfect sense. When a man smiles it indicates that he is happy and is probably spending his own money on himself rather than on her. Women detest this. Studies also show that a woman likes to start arguments to see her man under distress because it indicates that he is fully invested in the relationship.

Excellent point! Men who are unattractive are invisible to them! Studies prove this point. Thanks for bringing it up
This study was more about relativity. It shows what they think of the attitudes not the specific male. If one were invisible to them, nothing matters anyway.

If she is the one smiling, making advances, etc..., that is a different question.

I mean this is only true of female trash. Women aren't fundamentally driven by looks as we are. They're not blind, like they can observe that a man has good genetic markers or whatever but because they're emotionally driven they're more concerned about how they feel. So the only elements of the way you look that genuinely affect normal women are the ones that affect the way they feel e.g. do you make them feel safe/protected due to your body language and posture. Everything else is way less important. If a woman turns out to be actually genuinely surface-level shallow then yes you should avoid her, but those women aren't and shouldn't be attractive pretty much the instant you find this out.

Yeah courage and risk taking behaviour turn women on
What did the bouncer say?
She definitely started to tingle
I think it is important to show both sides: One side that you can be trusted (smile) and one side that you are strong and protective. Yeah you have to be a threat, but she has to be sure that you are not a threat to her. You can do a smirk. More important is that you don't smile just at everybody, but just when you see her. When she sees you looking with focus, but only smiling at her, that makes her feel special, because she is the only one who can make you smile and see your "soft side". Ofc she has to earn seeing your soft side. Start with a smirk and a glance that she is your prey. To later on you can show the "soft side"
Think of yourself as a book character: When you are always "happy" you are boring. When you are always a "threat" you are boring or she is scared of you. Why wouldn't you be a threat to her? Twist it. Show a lot of different sides of yourself. Naturally happening, not forced and overwhelming. Start with what is most interesting for another person to drive them into your story and get them hooked. Start with a smirk, be happy, be vulnerable, be a threat and full of force to reach your dreams / to do justice. Give off the feeling that you don't need her, but that you like her.
Ofc the better your looks, the more mistakes you can make. You can improve your looks and your force/strength with a lot of sport and the right diet. Do that!
4:48 "They want you to be a presence. They want you to be confident. They want you to be masculine." They just don't want you to be happy...
😂😂😂😂 I will not put a fake angry face and so make me feel unhappy just to please some psychopath.
Some people smile when they're nervous... as a defense mechanism against potential threats when they're not confident in their physical and verbal abilities.
Sometimes smiling can offend someone. Cowards who smile a lot will avoid smiling in such situations. E.g. some dude threatens violence, and you smile it off like it's joke.
Very interesting, makes sense in a way. Personally I smile because I’m at peace. Never had problems with women.
Now that I know women find it unattractive gonna smile more because zero fs given.
Changing for a woman will only bring disappointment. Stay on your purpose gents.
DIS
lad
As someone who's bitter with the ideology behind modern women, I can assure you, you're on a much better path.
Keep your focus, as well.
Women finding men showing shame more 'attractive' than happy ones is very easily explained. Guilt and shame lead to easy manipulation levers for women, happiness not so much.
I never smile at women. Never. If it's a work colleague, I politely nod in greeting and say good morning or whatever, but none of that smiling, friendly banter nonsense. And if it's out in the wild, I never engage at all. Avoid eye contact with them, say nothing to them. If they say something to me first I will politely answer, but I still won't smile. That is, unless I find that person attractive and see a potential date. I'll let the guard down a little but I still won't be smiling, just more willing to engage in conversation. Ironically being cold and emotionless around women has gotten me a lot of dates whereas before when I tried to be nice and smile at people (because women told me they like it when men are friendly and smile) all I got was the opportunity to be treated like a brother or asexual best friend.
I love it and think you could have added that smiling is an inate signal of submission in primates. For me, "Mama's last hug" from Frans de Waal was eye opening to understand human interactions. Animal emotions might be great for a Patreon video :)
Love this point. It's funny because I am always careful not to show my teeth in interactions with wild animals, but I never thought about whether or not I should show them to women lmao
@@BarryStyles Haha this is so on point! Actually the "lack of empathy and narcism" might just be a natural reaction to a submissive male. He becomes the pray.
Context matters.
good tip ty
Do I really have to read a book about a monkey to get laid?
As a woman, i can say I have passed good looking guys out and about and i always thought it attractive if their eyes met yours and they just gave you a brief smile of friendliness. It wasn't usually a big teeth showing smile though. I think just looking at these photos is entirely different....so it can be a lot to do with context.
Keyword "good looking guys" how about less attractive guys or downright ugly guys? You realise that in the exact same situation you would consider it creepy or it would freak you out.
@@nepamirskuzkameskovojomeli2396was too real she's scared to reply
Ha you exposed yourself
I always been serious and cold by nature since a child never believed in love, but society always told me that I should smile more be more friendly and kind even though I am kind, now I am starting to discover why the advice to be yourself works it was the way I was before trying to acommodate to society.
Some girls have told I got a nice smile, now I don’t know what that means
Just smile if you feel like smiling guys. Be happy.
🎉Smiling changes the feelings inside me, makes me feel happy, I will not put a fake angry face and so make me feel unhappy just to please some psychopath. They have to please me, not the reverse.
@@FrivalsYou don't have to have an angry face. It could just be resting.
Women are looking for very different things than men. I definitely notice a woman's smile. But that's not enough. I listen to the way they talk and watch how they interact with other people. That's what separates the pretty girls from the ones I'd actually want to know better.
Worked in a pawnshop for years, and one of our regulars who was quite easy on the eyes and always nice...but never really took any notice that I existed until one day I became aggressive with a rude customer. From then on, she always went out of her way to say hello to me or get my attention.
Funny that women find pride the most attractive when most women will tell you, "Egos on guys are so ugly." Apparently they are all lying to themselves.
Well, here's the thing. Women are insane.
Do not listen to what they say. Watch what they do. They like assholes right? They will say no, but observe young grasshopper.
Not exactly. They are criticizing the man they fell for.
Every time a woman speaks about men, and what she thinks men "should" be like, etc. She is talking about an actual real man from her past who was NOT like that, because she believes that it would have worked out with him if he WAS like that.
Obviously, she can't take responsibility herself, so it must be him and his lack of: insert terrible advice here.
She genuinely believes that she is giving you nuggets of GOLD with this advice, because she pictures Chad doing it with her and it makes rainbows shoot out of her 🌈💦
Good video. I like the bit at the beginning where you provide an opportunity for your viewers to quiz themselves.
The last time I smiled at a woman, she told me I was weird
Looks = personality, so if she said you were weird, what she meant is “you look weird”
You can use your smile to threaten someone or anyone. You can also use laughter to instill fear.
American Psycho moment ,
But at that point it's pride , not most people do that anyways
Yes, just let loose with one of those maniacal laughs that the villain in old movies used to do just after revealing their insane plan to take over the world! That will get them.
it's cringe in real life
@@Ash01010 not if you use it correctly
*Cheshire Cat grin*
i like doing this: when i randomly cross looks with a random girl, i wait no more than two seconds to see if i catched her eye, if i did, i go from neutral to smile. i really enjoy their responses. they vary. many of them seem attracted to it. its like a flirt revival , a tradition that is beeing brought back from the dead. away from social media.
Great take! I've had this idea
just a few days ago. I had the same thought for two hours I was thinking about every variable. All my experiences so far have led me to understand one key fact.
STOP CHASING WOMEN! GO AFTER YOUR PURPOSE! WHEN YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL, WOMEN CHASE YOU!
STOP. WASTING. PRECIOUS. TIME!
This is a good lesson for people.
I'd like to add that the context of your smiling makes a big difference.
Extremely simplified, (I don't care to open my full views right now), so the simplified rule I suggest to follow is if you don't what to do, the less familiar you are with a woman, the less you smile.
In a long term relationship those open expressions of positive emotions including laughing and smiling can get quite important.
So months into relationships there shouldn't be much of a reason to suppress who you are, you already should have proven your value.
But all of this comes with practice, training your eyes (observational skills) and your game (communication skills specifically targeted to keep you attractive or interesting).
The key is understanding there are tons of women that aren’t worth any of your attention. If you being kind and caring and happy is unattractive to most women then so be it. Use this as a makeshift filter for all those women that aren’t for you anyways. Find one who values the same things as you and who loves you for who you are not the potential you seem to possess.
Don’t waste your time on all the others for it is doomed to fail with them anyway.
@Alexander Grace I Thank you so much!
One of my close friend who is a married girl, asked me why am I smiling so much... I was shock back then that she literally said, seeing me smiling making me unattractive. I did not understand but after watching this research of yours now I see why. Thank you my friend. From now on, I am gonna smile from inside and show more pride and boast off any time I can without faking of course.
Thanks for answering life's question I never invested my time studying.
It depends entirely on how you look. I used to always try to be friendly but it only half worked for positive results with women. As a guy whos 6ft1, 215lb of muscle, with thick bear and kind of angry looking by default (mean muggin asshole face) with a kind of aggressive demeanor with how I carry myself, I actually did WAY better leaning into that. In fact the more dangerous and kind of brooding I looked, the more women I attracted or received positive feedback from women that I was later told by mutual friends "he looks kind of angry in a dangerous type of way....i find it hot"
Also if I had to employ physicality in situations, whether it was to deal with an aggressive drunk dude at a party, some with physic explosively like chopping wood or doing demolition , etc it would literally bring women to me out of the wood work. Ever single time when working as a bouncer or at a party when I man handled some dude and threw him out, women would magically appear to give me their phone number.
So no, no you don't have to smile but you probably should in day to day events just to be more approachable by all people and because it has neurological benefits for you and everyone around you. When it comes to female attraction, high testosterone traits/actions in men > everything else by a considerable margin.
This is wrong. Doesn't matter if you smile or not. Only matters if you are handsome or not (and by modern women's standards, handsome is nothing less than an 8/10). A handsome, tall guy smiling or not smiling will attract women and an average to below average guy (like the one in the study) will not attract women. Study shows no significance values and is a small sample size - the variation in female responses to the guy's different poses doesn't seem to be significant enough - it more shows that women by and large rate an average guy low no matter how he presents himself.
This.
@@cv6176 Nope. Tall handsome guy smiles = charming, charismatic. Average guy smiles = nice guy (friendzone material). Tall handsome guy doesn't smile = mysterious. Average guy doesn't smile = boring or angry. To woman, looks = personality. Wake up bro
I'm learning so much. Thank you!
Ive watched your videos for a while now. But I really loved how you did sort of a compare and contrast with your older videos: your older style of smiling versus not smiling; and how it worked for the interview videos versus the attraction videos. That was a really honest and practical teaching. I feel not a lot of CZcamsrs do that... where they compare and contrast against their own content. It's like they just forget their old content ever existed (like the WWE). You even said "scroll back five years ago". You don't see that specificity and transparency a lot these days.
Smiling or not smiling, I think might be seeing it from the wrong angle. Because you can smile in an I am in control way and you can smile in a don't hurt me way, both of those are very different smiles but they are still both smiles. Sometimes the most threatning thing you can do is smile, I feel like something here is still being missed.
Lol. Science? No wonder all the experts are “baffled” all the time. Smiling works. Here are the findings of my 35 year study of women. Worked when I was a skinny 14 year old punk, when I was 28 and 25 lbs overweight and now at 50 when I’m in great shape. You see a pretty woman. You catch her eye and smile at her. If she smiles back, approach and say hello, because she finds you attractive. If she does not smile back, do not approach her, because she’s not interested. It’s that simple.
VERY insightful video. THANK YOU!
Heeey! Learned something new today. Thanks.
Idk why but this video right here just hits the spot for me. Like something finally clicked for me. As if all my previous knowledge and ideas about this are drawn to the conclusion in the video. Just wow. A weird feeling for sure, but in a good way
Great topic Alex
Your pictures of loving trees are hilarious! xD
Yeah, I always noticed this too: None of my happy, joyful guy friends has girlfriends. Although, one of them finally managed to find a wife through a dating app and have kids. but that's only after he had spent countless days and effort going for other dating events, to the point where he was already 30.
Well it's certain a woman is never going to come along and desire a dude who's not enjoying his himself in his own life. There is no other option where your waiting to live a full life until a woman is around. The guys being performative end up exhausted especially nowadays. Your mates got it right, A happy and joyful life not dependent on a woman to allow yourself that.
@@MijoShrek One of them got friendzoned though. I believe they all want a partner, but it's difficult.
@@DionLYAfrom all of our exchanged information on the internet on these platforms and shared experiences from each other that we've gathered as of right now, the current dating market and seeing relationships is a dumpster fire in the west, the US most especially. People are jaded AF out there, From being fed up. The apps are a barren wasteland, men far outnumber women profiles on them. And the people that have been perpetually on them make it so they're full of emotionally damaged and full of mental baggage wahmens, the likes ove ever seen in my lifetime, lol. Love your own life for you now, because the clock is ticking o this life and its just too dang short to jaded and disappointed like a lot of these dudes out here sadly.
Or perhaps, they hate a happy man without them because they feel that Man is not going to be manipulated and they see him like an enemy to defeat?
Great video!
Fascinating stuff!
so do not demonstrate happiness, do not smile and stop feeling shame - sounds like healthy life advices, which will not end up in mental disorders, right?
If you live in western society, we assume you already have the mental disorders! If you are trying to sexually attract women! if you are not, do what you like! I hope you arent always thinking in terms of sexually attracting women? THats no way for a healthy man to live!
I smile more with my eyes. I feel annoyed when others, especially women, tell me to smile, to "lighten up".
Me top, or when they ask me if I'm okay as if they know anything about me to think such a question is appropriate.
@@colepeltier8472 lol! Ain't that the truth?
Normally comes from the ones that think they're the life of the party....but are mainly loud bores
one of your best videos to date, I learned it the hard way
Are you saying because you're in a relationship, you don't need to be masculine anymore? Women often lose attraction to their partners/husbands, could this be why?
yes! Maintaining masculine frame is essential to keeping them.
Ironically slot of women have said throughout my whole life that I need to smile….. so I don’t get it
Don't ever listen to women for dating advice. What they say and what they want always contradicts.
This study and Alexanders conclusions are bs so your good. If u need to smile then smile.
That's probably because you looked depressed when you didn't smile. Aloof and competent is the non smiling look you should aim for, if you can't get that then it's better to smile than look like you're 2 days away from topping yourself
@@simonsays5193 this
Good work Alexander.
This is sooo relevent to what I'm going through at present!!!
I had a debate with a "submissive male" in the gym about whether women like objective or subjective men. I told him they have a preference for objective men, he disagreed. I should probably add that this guy is the most friendly, playful, light-hearted guy in the gym. However when we went around asking females, they all agreed with me, he then asked a couple guys who agreed with me. He became furious, nasty and extremely rude. It was like night and day, the nice and sweet guy disappeared and I saw the true him before he stormed off.
In that moment I realised why women don't like nice guys. The old saying goes, "what tastes sweet in the mouth, turns sour in the belly".
Thank you for this video that further proves my realisation.
This is damning for women.
Not only do they pick arrogance ,
They rate mens happiness as the least attractive.
Alexander, don’t say that a smiling man makes a woman feel “scared” etc.
I’m tired of the whole “creep “ description women give men. Women are as safe as they have ever been, and if they truly felt unsafe, they wouldn’t get naked on social media.
The truth is, they don’t want a man to be happy. They want him to be in a state of constant turmoil and , against what’s said here, a constant state of AGGRESSION!
Yes i said it.
I hear so many feminists saying “men are the problem with the world.
“Men are violent and aggressive”
Well guess what ladies?
The men who are violent and aggressive are raised by SINGLE MOTHERS aka WOMEN.
So who is the “TOXIC” sex????
Every guy who has been a normal kid and gone to school has noticed that bullies get more sex than non bullies.
SAYS IT ALL.
I’ve seen women, girls, even women seen as “high value” even “kind” see two guys fighting , usually over said girl, and they scream for them to stop , yet do absolutely nothing to help the situation.
Women like it. They like the violence.
I don’t care what you say, I see this all the time.
Also back to bullies. If the girls boyfriend bullies a kid. I mean does something cruel and violent towards a weaker guy, she will ACT in front of everyone and tell the guy to stop it.
Yet after some poor runt has been beaten up etc, she walks away with the same guy who just committed and act of violence against another human being.
This doesn’t change the womens feelings towards her boyfriend, and in fact I would say it’s almost like a sh*t test , as she always stays with the bully.
That’s disgusting behavior.
You are rewarding violent behavior yet “me too” is so strong.
People can deny this, say I’m wrong, but actions are all that matter here.
If women had VALUES, bullies wouldn’t get p*ssy,
That is all. I dont buy into a woman not trusting a smiling man.
I’m gonna be kind to others.
If that turns off a female,
Then Great.
She just showed me her true self.
You might be interested in the book Dragon Mother by Michael Tsarion. A new (Jungian) look on female psychology. Relates to what you said.
Too simple, sometimes naive.
aside from terrible women choosing terrible men in this, the reason they do it is a paradox. see, if you have an enemy tribe then you need "strong" men to protect you. over time you breed these men to become "stronger" so you are more protected. that's the collective psychology of women. That useful. What's not is terrible women not knowing what "strong" is and for what "reason"
Lower women get with lower guys no matter how good looking they are.
Females have values like men have values, there are good men and bad men same with females, and bad females go with bad men
It definitely depends on the smile, that guy has an awkward smile makes him seem off, but some guys have sly charming smiles that girls definitely find sexy, think Leonardo Dicaprio, John Stamos, Paul walker, Brad Pitt, Bradley Cooper, the list goes on. I can also say from personal experience my smile is what gets complimented most from women and definitely gets me much further than when I don't smile.
I like to smile, but it is how you do it, that matters.
I think a subtle closed mouth smile, with an eye expression that matches, can be quite attractive to women. Its almost more of a look of confidence than "smiling"
@@CharmingMountain “I have taken many womens souls” LMAO😂😂
Wow, women like smiles from attractive rich famous men? You cracked the code, my good sir!
@@SchemingGoldberg I'm 5 foot 3 average face and not rich. Girls love my smile because I have the same type of smile as those actors. If you have a good smile, smile, if you don't then obviously smiling won't be sexy even on rich attractive men, I can give plenty of examples. I only give examples of famous people because if I name random people I know it won't mean anything, you can at least Google famous people to see what I mean. The research presented in this video is just very weak.
Great video, Alexander! I'm much older and I'm learning from You and I'm ok with it. Thanks again ;P
Faaaaar out dude, it goes against everything we know, but you are right. I see it now.
Mystery was actually saying that you have to smile no matter what, cuz that's what confident men do xd
I got it wrong, i thought neutral is most attractive because I was coming from a pessimistic view and the guy looks good when he has neutral face and it's the most intimidating out of all.
I did thought pride could be close. But thank god it's they find most attractive, as it does display genuine sense of accomplishment, happiness in a masculine way and it can't be faked.
My teacher who I flirted told me I smile a lot , then she saw my neutral face and got concerned, my neutral face is unapproachable and threatening. Especially after gymming. It took like 6 months for my friends to be comfortable with me.
Now that i know pride is attractive so I can atleast be genuinely happy. I thought this video was depressing. It is kind of considering smiling too much and being friendly is considered feminine.
I knew this most of my life. I realized when I was very young that being super happy didn’t get me anywhere but being more aggressive and boastful in a bragging way did. I used to be jealous of women a bit because I always felt women could basically act however they feel and society embraced it. Especially if they are slightly pretty. I’ve always been a good looking guy, but I couldn’t express genuine happiness. As in just being happy. I had to channel that into pride and boastfulness if I wanted to have a good outcome with relationships. I’ve done it most of my life at this point. I’m in a long term relationship now but I still do the same. I actually find that having the same attitude keeps my partner attracted as well. When I show indifference she tends to seek my approval in things but when I’m overly outgoing and happy in general, she pulls away.
I love how you make the videos on actual studies. Makes your advice so much more solid. Could you make a video on when should a man smile to a women? Like, when's the right time to smile?
So the last thing a woman wants to see is a happy man?
Yes
Well that sucks, I smile all the time.
Same
Why. Just keep your smile and don’t care about this study.
@@okay4634 - Because it apparently makes me less desirable.
Is it because you are generally happy or having a good time? keep doing what you are doing, just dont smile AT a woman! Try to conceal it from her!
@@TheStabbedGaiusJuliusCaesar You dont want most of them anyway! Most of them are hopelessly shallow & dumb and you will be bored quickly with them!
Very insightful
Constructive content..thumbs up
I'm calling B.S. due to personal Experience. I get women more when I smile, I have met women at Bars and they told me they liked my smile It's gotten me laid. Where not smiling I just look mean or intimidating. Now maybe in Pictures on Dating Apps It might be a bit different. I even sent a picture to a girl I met on an app of me smiling and she said "You could get any girl!" but she pissed me off with flaky behavior so I declined. Most women are not worth the time these days.
I had a short friend about 5'7" with great smile and he's smile and say how you doing! He got laid all of the time!
Your genuine happiness will only draw contempt from women because they are generally unhappy.
As always excellent fact-based and logical analysis. And it resonates with mine and I'm sure most men's experience.
What's wrong is smiling just to please. But if you're someone who enjoys the company of others, then you'll smile genuinely, and it feels really good. I believe women detect fake smiles and know they come from fear rather than self-confidence.
And even if it would harm you with women, if you're happy you should smile; life is much more pleasant this way. And getting a woman isn't hard whether you're serious or smiling... that's something you should incorporate into your mindset.
interesting. I never liked to smile anyway so I think this is rather good news. Unfortunately my face looks rather angry or sad even if it's neutral. I've been like this since very early childhood. But like I always say... not everything is as it looks.
While I agree with you, understand this: women just ain that smart (to think beyond the superficial)!
@@inconnu4961 yeah I guess...
Idk man there may be more variables to this. Smiling attracts humans to each other, all I did was mostly smile when I use to talk to girls and I use to do well. So This might depend on certain factors.
It definitely does. That photo seems a bit staged and forced to me. In reality if i pass men and they just do a friendly smile, I find it quite nice...but then same if I pass women and they smile. Usually the smiles aren't all open and toothy though...just seems a bit ott....
Damn bro thanks very much! You got a new follower
When I got into my first somewhat serious relationship the first time I approached her I didnt smile while talking to her. I just had good eye contact, body language and spoke well. Very occasionally I did smile and after I left she gave me a very flirtatious indicator of looking forward to seeing me again. I cant remember what she said because it was so long ago, but I remember feeling after the fact “why did she seem so interested in me when I wasn’t really doing much? But I just appeared more masculine.
The funny thing is that I dont even want to smile all the time. I am naturally more stoic faced and I always tell myself to try and smile more but it can come off forced and unnatural. This video is kind of reassuring for me cause it gives me more permission to be myself.
Same here. I have one of those stoic faces myself. Women are always telling me I should smile more, which is the only thing that makes me somewhat question this study.
I rarely smile around women. Nothing worth smiling about. I was told at some point in my life by a girl that wanted to date me that I had a fan club of other women. But most were too scared to talk to me. I was either neutral or scowling. So there ya go, women be crazy.
