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.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I have the exact same problem.SamMalone said:
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.

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.

So you are saying a false smile is worst than no smile?realsmoothie said:
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

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.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
