I still remember the compliment i got about my eyebrows back in high school. I got super flustered and ran out of the class. I have a love/cringe relationship with that moment.
A woman once told me that. Oh boy, did that stick with me for a long time.
A girl also told me I have nice eyes during high school. That was literally one of the bitterly few highlights of high school for me.
women don't do that, because they subconsciously know like 80% of men (including me) would see that as an opportunity for a pickup line, like "I would, if you went out with me" or "a hug/kiss would cheer me up" or some other borderline creepy stuff.
It's not exactly a pickup line but it is expressing interest. And that's how a lot of men use the line.
Telling someone they should "smile more" isn't expressing interest. It's a very weird demand. If you'd like to express interest in someone please consider a different approach.
We would if we got more smiles than smirks and sneers
Stop being an incel.
Stop being an ignorant sheep
You look cute! - nice
You should smile more. - wtf
Tbh she's probably right, I have resting bitch face at best or maybe smol depression at worst lol, it would probably help me develop new interpersonal relationships now that all my friends are dead (mostly OD) or moved (because they didn't want to OD.)
REAL FUN being the only person you know who avoided heroin/fent!
Wow, that must be hard. I hope you'll find some nice drug-free friends.
The disconnect between women and men is sad. Women say soo many things with the best of intentions, that just end up cutting way too deep and vice versa.
Pretty sure would smile a lot more if they received more positive attention ngl.
Someone told me I had an ugly smile once and I am still insecure about my smile to this day. If people told me I had a beautiful smile and that I should smile more, I think that would be amazing. I would be surprised, but really happy.
It was pretty funny when women thought "how would you feel if" would work in this case. They clearly didn't know how starved of positive attention men are.
positive attention
So starved of positive attention that you mistake creepy demands for compliments?
Yeah, no one has ever told me that I had a beautiful smile and that I should smile more... I never get compliments and very rarely get any appreciation. I helped a friend of a friend fix electrical issues saving him thousands that he didn't have? Just a generic "thanks." The guy offered to feed me because his wife was getting chinese but his wife didn't get me any and they just ate their food while I worked.
Where I live 12 beers or a bottle of vodka is the standard payment
I'd just look around to see who else is in on the joke
I've endured the male equivalent of this my whole life.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Why?"
"You look angry."
"This is just my face!"
Ahhh my gf keeps asking me if I'm fine. I guess I just have a resting sad face or something.

Old ladies at my first job would tell this to Male interns all the time.
Productivity at 130%
A lady told me I have nice eyes once. That was 20+ years ago and I’ve never forgotten that shit.
I had the same thing happen while I was working as a cashier. Turns out she was actually scamming me, they used footage of it happening to train new people.
Big oof
Same. She just kept staring into my eyes. In fact I think I was told the same thing by 3 different girls.
Same. I was at an eye hospital and they wouldn't stop staring.
