peacetraveler22 | Resting bitch face

Today I was reminded of a unique phenomenon we call "resting bitch face" in English. I'm not sure if this expression is used in Russian, but it refers to people (mostly women) who always have an angry, annoyed or irritated expression on their face. The expression does not always correlate with the emotions of the particular moment, and there have been some psychological and physiological studies to determine whether resting bitch face is genetically inherent, or whether it's a true reflection of a person's mood or personality. There has been no conclusive answer. :) Normally, I'm a very cheerful, smiley person but lately it seems I probably have this resting bitch face expression too often. Do you know women, or men, who always have this look of displeasure or irritation on their face? There are several female celebrities who have notably been diagnosed as having resting bitch face - Kristen Stewart, Anna Kendrick, Victoria Beckham. Just look at photos of them online, and you will see it's true! Personally, I could never date or constantly be around someone who always looks like a sour puss! :)) A nice smile is immediately inviting, while a look like this screams "stay away!"

Oh, I see way too many resting bitch faces around! Don't like it at all, i am also very smiley person and expect people to smile back at me.

Сейчас уже делают косметические уколы в губы, формируя их по всякому - пройдёт немного времени и люди додумаются с помощью инъекций формировать рот так, чтобы он всегда улыбался. Многие писатели уже задумывались об этом, это даже, по-моему есть в знаменитом "1984".

Yes, so many women looking like clowns now with their big, puffy inflated lips. I don't understand modern definitions of beauty, and especially not from the perspective of a Russian man. I wonder why men from your part of the world find it so easy to criticize and insult females based on their appearance? Your mothers didn't teach you manners?

I could say with confidence that Live Journal is so because it is pleasant to people. I'm here voluntarily:) If I find something better i would not have been here.

If you're sad, this beautiful flick will be useful to you :)

Yes, I'm sad and disappointed in human behaviors yet again. Thanks for the film recommendation.

This is not a recommendation, this is the order! Wearing a the burqa, housework, kitchen, washing dishes, complete subordination to male's power, all of this will heal your sadness !!!

Too many people are constantly in a bad mood. I wonder what makes them this way? I guess they are too lazy to change their life situation to improve it for the better. Although we all certainly have bad and depressive days.
