Dudes that don't smile

[LatsMcGee]

Maybe they are unhappy, depressed or angry?

If you have everything you've ever wanted and you're still depressed than do us all a favor and put a bullet in your face.

as a bigger man you need to smile a lot to give off the sign to women youre an ok guy.
90 % of the time people think im an unsympathic guy before i talked with them, so i try to smile a lot. its not always easy.

Smiling for photos in the West is very popular these days, but it was not always so.  Smiling for the daguerreotype, or camera, in the 19th century was considered phony.  Because photos could, and most often were, seen by people when the subject was not present, smiling in photos threatened to compromise one’s reputation as disingenuous. If you happen to be laughing, smiling, or striking some other spontaneous expression when the photo was taken that was fine because it was authentic.  Until relatively recently, smiling just for the sake of smiling in photos was (pun intended) frowned upon. Even today, in many other countries around the world smiling for photos is unwelcome.  Photos, like portraits, were originally intended to capture the natural self--not the performed self that smiling indicates.

Most fans of BB are drawn to it because it is a representation of hypermasculinity--the ultimate male.  Throughout history, macho or butch men are represented as stoic, Spartan, and serious.  Grinning without purpose has traditionally been regarded as clownish or infantile--not masculine--and thus not sexy.  A slight scowl, by contrast, particularly on a bobybuilder is often regarded as a turn on.

cool information.

Shame on all of you! How could you have a thread about men who dont smile without including the forefather of the genre: Chuck D?

Good teeth - smile  Bad teeth - dont smile

so why the hell do they always have the dudes with cum hither looks on the covers of the more obviously gay focused BBing mags?  In daisy dukes and what not.

You guys are so confused.
