Dating Tactics

According to this latest tidbit of news, the opposite sex will find you more attractive if the people around you are smiling. If only I were a comedian.

But Mike, you are a comedian! At least to me you are ;)

Seriously though, this is pretty interesting. I wonder if the same would be true if you're the only one smiling out of the group of people you're with. I would think that would leave the impression that the smiler is a generally happy person despite being surrounded by others who aren't smiling.

I know this is a pretty awkward way to twist your comment Huggie, but I can't help but think as to what situations you'd be in if you were smiling and no one else was.

And my only example is the morbid thought of smiling through a funeral. "I miss Jonas so much...oh my, who is that? He has a wonderful smile..."

Good point...but I might smile at a funeral, you never know. It's like that Barenaked Ladies song, One Week. "I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral..."
