Look worse when I smile

[SamMalone]

I look real good when I'm not smiling. However when I smile my face gets real wide and my features don't look as good. Does anyone else have this problem? I know it doesn't matter that much but it still drives me crazy sometimes.

I have the exact same problem.
Without smile my face is very angular, but it goes away when I smile.

However, I found a way to smile that keeps my face looking angular.
Theirs hundreds of way to smile, experiment in front of a mirror and see which one fits you best.
Some example variations:
-show bottom set of teeth or just the top
-wrink the skin are you eyes or keep it smooth
-lift your cheek up or lift out to the side
-vary how big your smile gets.
-ect,

Geez, it's just a smile. Smiling should be natural, not forced. Girls can detect a fake smile.

Remember, recognizing a smile is one of the first things a person learns as a baby.

if you think you have a bad smile there is nothing wrong with practicing to make it look better so when they do smile they can smile the best way to make them look good and it will be natural

So you are saying a false smile is worst than no smile?

Ok?

When I don't show my teeth it looks MUCH better, but my cheekbones are wide and my face loses the "perfect" oval shape when my cheekbones go out.

How about all you AFCs quit worrying about if your smile looks bad or not? Unless you have meth-addict teeth, she's not going to be analyzing 1/4 as much as you all are.

Or if you look like Jaws (From 007....or the damn fish)

The average guy with a great smile and insecurity issues will still have trouble with girls because of insecurity issues. Ive seen the nerdiest guys with some of the hottest chicks wearing nothing but caution tape or chain mail at those D&D Conventions (Gen Con) Go there sometime this summer and tell me that looks matter that much to hot girls. If youre real interested its in Indianapolis now instead of Milwawkee. Im kinda thinkin about goin again.

I have this problem too, as I have fairly chubby cheeks (it was worse during the days when I was fat). I'm skinny now but the face is a problem, as I have tiny eyes my chuby cheeks makes my eyes look like slits. My trick is to smile only SLIGHTLY. Your cheeks should only move like 1/2 a cm upwards.

Though I look quite good doing a bigger smile when I'm close up though.
