I love the rush a genuine smile gives you.

Genuine. I don’t even feel the need to give courteous smiles, quite honestly.

@KNOWITALL Good on you pet, me neither they’re so empty without meaning.

Why smile at all?

KNOWITALL's avatar

@stanleybmanly Because you’re happy and you know it? ha!

I am a happy person, smile a lot and it is genuinely meant.
There are times when I am about to laugh when I shouldn’t.
Those are extra genuine smiles.

I spend a lot of time not smiling. When I do, it is genuine.
I’m incapable of smiling if I don’t feel it.

All I can offer, is a painful grimace that oozes contempt.

Genuine.

Loli, I think you must be long overdue for a warm, gentle, lingering hug.

I don’t smile. Ever.

When I smile, it’s genuine. I’ve never been a good fake-smiler.

I smile from my heart. When I toss out a courteous smile, everybody knows that it’s not meant for real life consumption

I’ll never smile again
Until I smile at you
I’ll never laugh again
What good would it do?

I prefer the Sinatra version. It was my theme song.

I’m not good at smiling. I laugh really well, and those are certainly genuine — but smiles elude me. I do this courteous, no teeth smith to be polite, but it always feel awkward.

My smiles are always genuine. I have no poker face. They serve me well when I work in customer service.

ucme's avatar

Cheers you lot.
Most of these made me smile.
I shall leave it up to you to decide which type :-)

Courteous. I’m usually anxious and don’t want to seem rude. But it’s genuine when someone makes even a mild joke. It’s also genuine if I see one of my favorite people, or if a goodlooking person speaks to me. I wish I’d stop smiling in the latter situation though, just comes off as creepy. recoils at every such past memory
