"It takes more energy to frown than it does to smile!"I suppose it's cute, but somehow also really annoying. Probably because it's the type of thing said by morning people to try and and drag you into their sunshiny view of the world. Personally I can't remember ever looking forward to a morning unless it's one I can sleep through. I'm not saying frowning is better than smiling, but it just seems like a ridiculous thing to say, especially since there is no factual evidence backing it up, according to Snopes.
The fact is, for some people, frowning may actually be easier; especially if they have been doing it for a long time. I don't really think energy conservation is adequate motivation for not smiling. In fact, grumpy people may even be more evolved.
If you really want me to smile, do something funny, like...trip and fall into a ditch. Be creative.
You can bet this guy had NO trouble frowning.
somewhere in london, they did a test that showed the difference between fake smiling and real smiling. it was interesting because it turned out our mouth has little to do with it. it's most in our eyes.
ReplyDeletereal smiles are almost reflexal rather than intentional. and in that sense, you can't fake a smile unless you're actually happy.
and if you try, you'll end up with... a fake smile... which ultimately takes a lot of energy and looks shitty.
if none of that made sense or seemed interesting it's because i'm drinking legal crack at work and can't keep my mind straight.
