I'm naturally a very smiley, easy to laugh kind of guy. Lately one of my areas of focus has been to stop smiling, and instead smirk. Do this for a day and the difference is night and day. Girls feel intimidated but also intrigued by a smirk. You cannot smirk around a girl without her asking you what you're thinking, why you're looking at her like that, what's so funny, etc. It puts the fear in them because they immediately think that you're laughing AT them. Which is an EXCELLENT thing for them to be thinking.
Smiling is social and something people do in groups. A smirk is private. A smirk says that you're thinking of something that's amusing to you, but you don't feel the need to share it. You are perfectly happy with your funny thought and you won't be any happier by sharing it with someone else. A smirk is very unneedy. You cannot appear needy and smirk at the same time.
A smirk is confident. People without confidence do not smirk. According to the free online dictionary "smirk" is defined: An affected, often offensively self-satisfied smile. Smirk for the tingle.
nice article, as for me that is one of the things I worked out to. It was quite difficult at first it involve allot of self discipline but the reward is clear when people around you including many women are the one's seeking your attention and all of a sudden they will be thankful of a little smile from you, because it is scarce
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yeah it really is surprising how much of a difference it makes. Recently I saw a female classmate look at me and my beta self automatically smiled, and she looked away. The same day I smirk at another female classmate and she laughs very nervously and asks me what I think is so funny. Smiling beta=boring look away. Smirking alpha= tension, she's nervous but engaging me in conversation.
DeleteWould you say smirk for pictures as well?
ReplyDeleteDepends a lot on what kind of photo it is. I would say in general no not necessarily, but definitely tone down your smile, you don't want to be smiling huge ear to ear. It's too much. I tend to do this. I'm usually pretty happy so I actively try to restrain my smiles now.
