Resting Miserable Face

I seem to have a judgemental face apparently and it is often mentioned. I am never rude to people or blank them but I can't change it!
When I smile I'm told it's lovely so I am extreme with whatever I do!

oh yes, I have one of those,, I walk along with a sort of mini smile on my face and do smile at anyone...told I have a lovely smile

I was once in a pub sitting alone while my companion was absent for a pee. A man in a nearby group moved across to me and said "Cheer up" or some such inanity. I was so incensed I stood up grasping my empty lager glass and he was afraid I'd actually hit him with it.

When my male companion returned this idiot man apologised to HIM (not me!) saying "Sorry , mate, I didn't know she was with someone."

He thought you were fair game - a woman on her own... who is obviously just gagging for attention from any random male.

We've still got a long way to go, haven't we?

The large number of responses here shows male attitudes of patronising and trivialising women is a thing .

I don't know how this attitude of some men can be dealt with.
after this topic was discussed here I asked both my sons if it had happened to them. It never had happened to them. Younger son suggested the response" I will be happier when you go away".

I’ve been told this. Resting b**ch face as you say. I’ve recently had some Botox injections supposed to help downturned mouth. It’s helped a bit but needs to be topped up

Perhaps we should turn this to our advantage.

Us miserable looking folk have obviously not had botox or plastic surgery, so we are genuine folk, not obsessed with our appearance or trying to look younger or nicer or friendlier than we actually are.

It is not so much a case of "what you see is what you get" but "you might be surprised how nice she actually is"
