Male Smile Advice Discord
It seems most of us who show our faces don't smile in our waywts (I don't, on the rare occasion I post), but some (notably @bensev) often smile, and I'm as inspired by smiles as y'all's fits, because I've never felt comfortable with my smile. So how do y'all add a good smile to your fit?

Idk I haven’t posted in waywt for a while but I just send it
I’m not super comfortable with my smile but I think I’m less comfortable with being stone faced lmao
i HATE my smile
My smile is always a smirk, unless I'm laughing
Which I am laughing pretty frequently
use a phone timer and laugh or think of something amusing
This is good advice
i believe saying the word "money" will get your face muscles moving towards smiling but ymmv
Part of it is just getting comfortable with yourself. I also used to not smile but I’ve come to like it more than the moody stare off into middle distance
I'm almost always smiling in my waywts. I smile because I think its nice to be smiling
Lol clicked on your profile and the gif of George eating shrimp is so good
I also look a little angry when I dont smile imo so I try to smile generally
I only like the way I look in photos smiling baha
I am also usually a pretty happy guy!
It's nice to know change is possible. I do tend to have resting moody stare off into the middle distance face, but want to be a more avid smiler
A great smile and great fits! I also think it's nice to be smiling, maybe I can make it as simple as that without overthinking it
I’ll easily take a half dozen pics with the same pose but trying to make sure I’m smiling nicely
Don’t be ashamed to try
i dont smile because im self conscious of my teeth but i am smiling on the inside
Same, and I want to feel good about smiling on the outside too
I legitimately just practice it. I don't smile in pictures consistently, and probably won't in selfies or fit pics, but I'm getting there.
Hello before I started posting fits I really disliked how my smile looked in photos, I always felt fake or forced when I tried to do it. Practice makes perfect here IMO. I decided I wanted to smile in my fit pics so I kept trying until I was happy with the result. Chances are you’re judging your smile far harsher than anyone else is. Just keep sending it and you’ll feel happy with it eventually, it worked for me. The tips in here are good, I usually make myself laugh then hold the smile that it makes, i can pretty easily tone it down from there if i want to too, and then reset back up with a laugh. My cat likes to hang out in view of where I take fit pics so I’ll usually look at him looking at me in confusion and that gets the smile going. Wishing u luck in your journey to smile satisfaction
In order to smile in my fit pics I just remember all of the people I've ever hurt, all of the lies I've ever told for personal gain, and all of the hearts I've ever broken.
You and I are photo antipodes, but I'll learn your ways
I appreciate your perspective, it's nice to hear that others have come from the same place and got to where I want to go. I did some experimenting and put on a youtube video that I knew would make me laugh, and the result looked more genuine to me than when I just tell myself to smile, and I liked looking at a picture that felt better to take.
