Just about everyone looks better when they smile. It’s true regardless of gender. I don’t see where sexism enters the equation.

I feel pretty oblivious. What am I missing?

    Because men are “allowed” to look however they want, grouchy, happy or ‘keep the fuck away from me’. If a women does it she’s got “resting bitch face” or gets told to smile. It’s just a subtle way of saying “you don’t look right here let me change you”. If you kept saying it to guys they’d tell you to fuck off.

      “you don’t look right here let me change you”

      That’s pretty fucking rude. I am continually amazed by how much women are expected to tolerate.

    Tell us a story of the last time you witnessed someone telling a man to smile because he would look so much better if he did.

    I can’t, either. That’s why.
