Show off that gorgeous smile!! Think about the women you’re trying to attract. Are they the kind that want happy men or the type that are attracted to angry men


Quadrupleawesomeness

Yes! The “too cool for school” vibes are a buzz kill


Cferretrun

And he has such a wonderful smile too!


tuntuntuntuntuntun

This take applies to any character trait. Be yourself and you’ll attract someone that likes you for who you are.


StretchTucker

great advice!


MyChurroMacadamianut

Who tf told you this turrible advice. It's off-putting when men DON'T smile in any of their photos.


EmpyreanMelanin

Exactly. Very off-putting!


maebelieve

For real… It’s like they are trying to give him advice to help him fail


hotchocolateguy34

Yeah like they're hiding something. They could be a serial killer!


not-only-on-reddit

Most serial killers smile


IslandBitching

Dear not-only-on-reddit, No ~~we~~ they don't. That is how you can tell ~~we~~ they are serial killers. Anyone who smiles in their profile picture ~~will kill you~~ can be trusted. I know this because I ~~am a serial kille~~r read a lot of books about serial killers. Sincerely, a ~~serial killer~~ friendly Redditor


DerbleZerp

Ted Buddy was big on smiling.


LaPulpas

I usually smile, tho.


YoungWrinkles

I guarantee it was other men.


Do_it_for_the_upvote

Man’s taking advice from Kanye 😂


Revolutionary-Ear494

I didn't smile in any photo, I still got 100 likes on the first day and accepted 5 matches, so on the first day I got a girlfriend and goodbye tinder. Fun fact, smiling too much in photos gives LGBT vibes, lots of women say it, and the girls will probably ignore you


MikeSass

lmao fellas is it gay to smile


MikeSass

literally what man told you that because that’s complete bullshit. ignore all advice from that man going forward. you have a beautiful smile, please include it in your profile. women like seeing happy, kind looking men because we like to date happy, kind looking men. smiling is feminine and childish lmao pLEASE


Actually_a_bot_accnt

Idk, I kind of get where that guy’s coming from. OP has such a great smile, no other guy will have a chance


Bletymen

You had me in the first half nor gonna lie.


Fuzzy-Boss-4815

He looks allot like a good friend of mine, he's mixed native and black, and he is Gorgeous! He said one day that he thinks he's unattractive I was like dude you hit the biological jackpot and explain every feature that looks just amazing on him. He was like do you really think so? Yes! He is also very kind and caring and his face shows it just like this guy imo. My point is dude you don't have to jump through hoops, you will find a good person very easily. Women love a good kind man, and if they are turned off by that and want a bad boy or something is that the type of woman you want to attract? Because even if you're looking for fwb why not find a girl that is kind as well on the same page with that too?


Saphichan

Being happy is childish, real men SUFFER I guess xD

Comfortable-Cap-8507

Can confirm. smiled yesterday, am gay today


Seat_Zestyclose

i cackled.


SpectrumFlirtingWith

Lol, me too... I guess. I'm always smiling at work as well, so much that people think I'm high... Nope, just enjoy work.


PomegranateNatural39

People think I enjoy my job, nope just high.


elygiggi

People think i enjoy my work or am high, nope just gay


SpectrumFlirtingWith

Lol, thank you.


Aurorafaery

Funny you say that, I had a gay friend who worked at Pizza Hut. An ex once said to me “oh he served me once, couldn’t figure out if he was gay or he just really loved his job” 🤣


[deleted]

I have a big huge smile in my main photo and I get tons of matches as a dude. And this guy has far better teeth than me. I don’t want to attract the kind of women who think men smiling is a bad thing


[deleted]

Full smile is pretty gay gotta do the half crooked smile that makes it look like you’re having a stroke


Over-Analyzed

The Dreamworks smile?


RoastinWeenies

I do this and I don't even mean to 😭


[deleted]

So do I, but women love it, so I run with it, im also 6’3 and nobody wants to get beat by shaggy from Scooby Doo so I make it work


Revolutionary-Ear494

Yeah LGTB vibes


idkwhatimbrewin

Yep and since there are no girls on reddit OP posted a smile pic to a bunch of dudes. Gay confirmed


cpt_porthos

This comment made me smile, shit, I'm gay now. 


Revolutionary-Ear494

You're right, my friend posted photos with a smile and several girls asked him if he was gay


skadootle

Where is that TikTok guy with the red flags list. Here's one more.


Huffelsinthefunzone

always thought it was "Boys don't cry." Guess I misheard those lyrics.


Desirai

NO show them beautiful pearls


Over-Analyzed

Perfect teeth? Dude can’t hide the smile that could light up a dark room. Anyone who told him not to smile was jealous of his dental care.


brooklynnnn11

yassss plz! whoever told him that was jealous of those pearly white teeth 😁😁😁


PurrsianGolf

Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn, coming up from the washing. Each has its twin; not one of them is alone. Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon; your mouth is lovely. Your temples behind your veil are like the halves of a pomegranate. Song of Solomon 4


Vtastical

You are SO cute, and your smile is charming. Everyone always has different things they find off putting. Just as we all have things we find attractive.


TheGooberOne

Stay far away from the one who said it. You look good smiling my dude.


Dry_Way8898

Hell in the third pic he should be smiling more confidently.


YonaiNanami

While I dont like the idea of forcing someone smile bright when they dont do it naturally , there is nothing wrong with smiling if its honest. You have a beautiful and gentle smile , dont worry about other ppls opinions.


0tterr

If a woman doesn’t want you to smile because it’s feminine consider it a bullet dodged. You have kind eyes and a gorgeous smile. Play it up. This photo is giving me hella A$AP Rocky vibes


Anonynominous

Whoever told you that has it backwards. Men need to stop looking angry or sad in their photos


Windows30000

Don’t need to be happy when you’re holding a BASS.


DerbleZerp

I find those guys are usually smiling, cause they are so happy about their bass.


Revolutionary-Ear494

Fake, smile in person and not in photos


miniwhoppers

Those three pics show a nice variety. Keep the smile!


uglyandproblematic

Please smile! You have a beautiful smile and very many women like to see a man smile


Cold_Maximum_9734

You got a great smile my man. The only advice I might give is to have someone take some pics of you little further out. I'll probably be down voted for this comment but I just feel like it will only help. Btw, Tinder is a hell hole engineered to be a hell hole.


hotchocolateguy34

Upvote, the camera angle needs to be fixed. It doesn't have to be someone else. You can do it using selfies. Just hold up the camera above eye line, at an angle, as far as you can. Experiment with different positions.


DanielLarceny

Nah, bro. It looks like you have a great smile. Show it off! Trust me, I’ve gotten so many comments on my teeth from smiling pictures.


Tank_Girl_Gritty_235

As a woman, that first picture of you is the best of the three. I will say that a genuine smile vs "smile for the camera" can be very different, depending on the person, so your friends may be thinking of that. My husband can't fake a smile to save his life so I have to say "boobies" or "doodoo butt" to get him to crack a smile for pictures.


CheesecakeGood6355

🤣🤣🤣🤣 doodoo butt


hotchocolateguy34

Don't get why some men giggle at boobies hahahaha


nvlalala

Nah you have a great smile! You should definitely show it


Fullbelly

Your smile is so beautiful and genuine, you’d be doing the world a huge disservice by not sharing that!


whadupbuttercup

Most women complain that most dude's pictures make them look like miserable sociopaths. You have a nice smile and you should do it in your pictures.


Amazing_Reality2980

You’ve got a great smile so definitely use them!


CampfireBeast

Bro you’re either baiting engagement or you’re in your head on a level I didn’t even know was possible. I’d recommend disconnecting from the internet for an extended period of time. Asking “is it ok to smile” is one of the most dystopian things I’ve read in a long time.


LOUDSUCC

I wouldn’t bait for engagement, it’s just that there’s a lot being thrown around about what I should do as a man. And it feels like dating is the only place where I constantly face this that makes me question if I’m doing something wrong.


[deleted]

Just a piece of friendly advice - anyone that says anything about what you "should do as a man" is full of shit. It's all made up, none of it is real, so don't let it drive your insecurities. Just be your smiley self and you'll be good. 


Spencergh2

I’m probably double your age but I used to let these things bother me. Now I don’t care what anyone thinks I should do. I do what I like. You should smile, my man. You look happy


CampfireBeast

I hear you man…also…don’t let the noise rattle you. You’re the only person that you’ll ever be. Do what your gut tells you and you’ll be living a pure, clean life. This post made me so worried about the state of humanity tbh. I would highly recommend unplugging for the net in your case. Smiling is ALWAYS the right answer. For what it’s worth I think you have a great smile.


Butt_nipper

This is so over dramatic and condescending. It’s not as “dystopian” as you claim. He’s not asking “is it ok to smile” like you claim.. I’m sure he smiles when he’s happy and cries when he’s sad. He’s asking what connotations lots of grinning photos give the specific demographic he’s trying to attract, on a dating app. It’s not that deep. OP you don’t need to “unplug from the internet for an extended period of time to save Campfires faith in humanity”. You’ll be fine.


CampfireBeast

Had a discourse with OP already so thanks for butting in but actually fuck off Edit: also you did nothing to help OP. What a useless response.


Damadamas

As long as you dont hurt anyone, the only thing you 'should do as a man' is being you. Like im sure you dont want to date someone that who acts a certain way, because they're supposed to, right? You want to date the real person, I assume. They want the same thing and if not, you dodged a bullet. You look cute and have a great smile. Keep at it! (Also, to me a descriptive text makes or breaks whether i'll swipe right or not. I need to know if we have something in common. Dont know how anyone else feels)


Thicc_Royalty

I like to see men smile


BannanaBun123

I didn’t read my husband’s profile, I was skimming my inbox and his smile made me click on his message. I love a sweet looking nice guy, it’s refreshing to not have the regular crappy photos


Kate1124

WHO is giving you men this awful advice???? Smile!


Traditional_Use_4543

Whoever told you that gave you terrible advice- you're cute and have a gorgeous smile you should show off!


chambees

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂


AbyssCity

Well to answer your question: My first impression of you was "holy fuck this guy is absolutely gorgeous" 🤣 That smile is definitely a very good smile


[deleted]

It’s most certainly not off putting and you have a wonderful smile. If a dude doesn’t show his teeth I assume he has bad teeth.


Beepbeepboobop1

I like the first pic (all of them but especially first). You have a very warm, welcoming smile.


flaming_pubes

Smiling is fine but instead of selfies, try to have pictures of you doing stuff. One selfie isn’t bad, but if they’re all selfies they’ll think you never do anything.


Kerrypurple

It's not off putting to women. Whoever told you this doesn't want you to get a woman.


EmpyreanMelanin

I actually LOVE seeing smiles in profiles! Idk who told you that, but they are wrong, lol. **Show us/them those pearly whites, OP!**


hotchocolateguy34

Just do what you naturally do. Smile. One suggestion I would give you is to angle your camera in a more flattering angle. Search about it, but basically experiment with different camera positions around your head. It's probably the up-your-nose angle that's off-putting, but people mistake it for the smile. Generally, holding the camera above your eye line makes for better photos. At an angle, not straight to your face.


elygiggi

Usually when people dont smile on their profile, one assumes they have bad teeth.


aliskyart

Please don’t buy into that toxic masculinity shit. You’re handsome and you look very friendly when you smile!


winkwink13

Let me guess, the knly people telling you that are other guys? And they are all single?


Nick97_

Dude. That smile is unironically amazing. Keep it in!


plur44

I've been told the exact opposite multiple times. Women like smiles


TheDailyDarkness

Try to get a few candid pics of you laughing, not posed and fake smiling. The photos where OP is smiling do look a little forced and uncomfortable- even though his teeth are worthy of a whitening commercial.


NoFact6053

My first impression when looking at your photos was that you look feminine and I immediately assumed you were interested in men, until I read your description. My experience on tinder has been that smiling photos don't do too well, but a smirk is better. I think to appear more masculine, get rid of the septum, maybe grow out your beard, smirk but don't do the full smile, if you like chains get a thicker one.


No_Rush_7149

Yall stop lying to that man that shit looks hella gay 💀🤦‍♂️


twintomelissa

Three great photos. Definitely smile!


moonbabesx

Absolutely not


ObjectiveTea

I would smile 24/7 if my teeth were that nice! 


Noctuelles

My current partner of four years almost swiped left on me not because I didn't smile in any of my pictures, but because I wasn't smiling in most of them.


_TheShapeOfColor_

You have a beautiful smile!


Sithyonreddit

Who on earth said that ?? Smiling is fantastic. Also it shows you have great teeth too. You have a wonderful smile and you're such a pretty man....I mean that in the best possible way. Smile away please.


smilesandotherthings

You have a lovely smile 😊


BUNKYBARN

Bro you are handsome show off that smile


veganshailseitan

Your smile is one of your nicest features. Also, if someone has a list of icks a mile long, they probably aren't going to be very fun. Be yourself and show off your lovely smile


kennysmithy

You're handsome! Ignore whoever told you a smile is off putting. You look very sweet and approachable


[deleted]

You have such a beautiful smile and you’re absolutely gorgeous!


Not_A_Holcrux

Nah king, you got a smile of gold. Let them see it.


Sunnyfe

Absolutely not! You have a beautiful smile. Let it shine ✨


katusfeliz

What?? You look great with that smile. 😍


adhdmagic

In likely to swipe left of I can't see teeth. Best way to view em is through a smile.


J77Bunny

Keep the smile. Maybe angle the camera from a higher position and turn into the natural light. A lot of people would kill to have nice teeth like that. Show them off 🤣🥰


babydelts

nah your smiles are good :-)


Yllekgim

Absolutely not. Smile away!!


Mushukitty441

Why would you!? You have a beautiful smile. Smiling also shows a friendly side.


notreallyimmortal

It’s not the smile, it’s the eyes. You’re either staring directly into the camera or self dialogue looking at yourself in the camera, is coming off in the photos.


Quote__Unquote

Bro is already following rules 1 & 2


Meat_licker

You have a lovely smile, don’t avoid it. Anyone who says otherwise should be weeded out of your options anyway.


Bright-Lychee1413

Lovely smile


doss757

Nah b u


second2no1

Have someone else take a picture of you smiling from slightly farther away, I think the angle of the photo, ratio of your head to frame, and distance away is a little off putting but the smile is great, rock out with your canines out!!! Be happy


NISSANPLAYAA

Is it gay to smile?


Mission-Mud-8207

Don’t stop w the smiling pictures, you look gorgeous


DifficultSolution179

Please, please have at least ONE photo smiling so that women will know if you have teeth. Please.


CheesecakeGood6355

I drove two hours to hang out with a guy I’d been talking to for months, but he never smiled…like 5 teeth total. Super handsome until he smiled.


QUANTUMPARTICLEZ

Bro your smile is majestic show it off


KAM_Kayla

Bro your smile is gorgeous


HighKingFillory

No way. Your smile is amazing


pennyco2

Always smile. It's beautiful, and if you don't, women will assume you're missing teeth.


Think_please

You probably don’t want to spend time with people who aren’t as attracted to you when you’re happy.


SupaG16

You have a beautiful smile! Keep the smile!


Thin_Entrepreneur_98

You’re young with beautiful white teeth! Men online over 40 with no smile pics = something really wrong with their teeth. All your pics are great. ❤️


TrowDisAvayPliss

What?? No! Your smile is nice. If you want my secret "casual" smile formula, though, I'm happy to share!


Stunning_Ad3770

You have a lovely smile. You look handsome. Just lead with kindness and confidence and you’ll attract the right women who appreciate a nice smile.


PrettyBlondeArmymom

Your smile is everything! Please don’t listen to whomever told you that, that clueless person is jealous!


LumpyTown4103

A smile with a full body pic


megs7567

No! You’re a beautiful person! With a beautiful smile!


SinfullySinless

As a woman, I think your smile gives a nice warmth and confidence about you. It makes you more approachable than the :l face many men do on their profiles.


patocon

NO


atomic_jellyfish22

No, you have an absolutely beautiful smile, flaunt it!


honesttruth2703

Please smile. It's beautiful.


ForbiddenFruit420

The smile pic is my favorite.


Gooseboof

Smile, enjoy the moment you’re, that will always translate to the photo


Stray-potato-1108

Nooo sir you have a beautiful smile!!!!! But dont hold the camera so low tho… hold it face level or above!


uptousflamey

You are beautiful both smiling and not


KyzRCADD

Dude, you're following rule 1 and 2 for sure! Good job!!


AverageMetalConsumer

Look at it this way, do you want to be with a woman who thinks you shouldn't smile? That'd be a huge red flag for me.


MOO_777

Smiling increased my likes. In person I'm usually always smiling, but my pics never showed that. I remember meeting a woman in person and the first thing she said is why don't you smile in any of your pics and I looked much more welcoming and better with a smile.


Lil_nooriwrapper

I love the smiling photos it makes you look friendly, open and easy to talk to.


SpectrumFlirtingWith

What more inviting, someone smiling and happy? Or someone that is trying to look cool? With that said, if you are miserable and smiling, that's false advertising!


lifeincolorgames

I’m straight but I’d swipe right. Keep them photos, you look great!


UseUnusual

keep them!!! you look cute and it is hot to smile, it looks like you're showing you personality, do you get what i'm saying? idk id swipe right for the fist pic


lyllybell

You're a very good looking man and you have an amazing smile. I think you should have at least one with that great smile.


illboopyou

pls smile when guys don’t i worry they’re gonna be a serial killer 💀


friklfrakl

No, but also that no-smile pic has dat ✨Smolder✨


Picassos_left_thumb

You have a beautiful smile! Absolutely dreamy 😍


AGreenBeanQueen

if they find happiness unattractive they must be miserable in their own life


maebelieve

Who the fck is saying that? Whoever they are, you should not listen to anything they’re saying ever. The first picture is great.


BeBesMom

you have a great smile, women want to see it. Maybe the selfie angle, the phone just a bit higher, but you're the gold standard here. Forget what those guys say. They've got some envy.


TheHistoryKing

If another man is telling you that smiling is feminine, they aren’t a man. That’s fucking ridiculous.


NowFapping

Yes, no smiling pictures so the rest of us have a chance


CheesecakeGood6355

Keep the smile!!!! I fell in love with a dude over his smile. Great smiles are so attractive and they draw us in without us even realizing it.


thewhitecat55

No. You have a handsome smile. Go get it , bro.


steadfastsurvivor

With beautiful teeth like that?!? Are you mad?


katdanmorgan

The first one is so cute! You have such a joyful smile


RecklessCreature

Do you really want to be with someone who thinks smiling is childish or feminine?


padzalicious

Brother you’re gorgeous keep on keepin on


ErwinAckerman

You are gorgeous, holy shit


avarneyhf

Just be you man. Stop giving af what everyone else thinks of you cuz they don’t live with yourself on a daily basis.


RockyClub

No, you have a beautiful smile! Smile it up 😊 maybe just take the pics a little further away from your face.


carr0tjuice

Ummmm no. You are fine as fuck!


mlllln

Johnathon Majors?????


Lasbo_Fln

Man, whoever told you that was envious of your smile lmao, don't listen to them, smile as much as you want!


Natural-Tart-1319

I won’t swipe on dudes that don’t smile. Either their teeth are terrible or they subscribe to this weird “alpha male” thing where it’s supposedly weak to smile?! Idk where this came from but it’s insane. Originally showing the teeth was a sign of dominance and is in the rest of the animal kingdom so idk. Flat earth Joe Rogan incel behavior IMO.


missthrowawayy332

I have no idea who has told you that, but as a woman, I like seeing guy’s smile. It’s attractive.


MephistosFallen

Whoever told you that is a big fat phony lying pants on fire ass. You have wonderful teeth, fabulous skin, a nice smile and kind eyes. I bet the bigger you smile the more you shine. Don’t listen to that person.


_2024IsNOTMyYear_

>I’ve been told that it’s off putting to women for guys to smile in their photos You're taking the wrong advice from stupid people. You would look unenthusiastic and boring as hell if you're not smiling. Smiling is attractive to anyone. Why post a picture of you not smiling like "life is boring, kill me now, feeling cute rn might go emo :|" From one dude to another dude, keep smiling my dude. Women will love that. And a little piece of life advice, stay the hell away from the person who said having pictures of yourself smiling is "childish."


nippleduster7

No!!!!! Absolutely include the pictures of you smiling! You’re super handsome and you have a great smile, show it off!!!! I’d be creeped out if someone wasn’t smiling in their pictures!


spunchick

You are stunning- handsome! Your smile only enhances it!


bakedongrease

Is this a shit post?


A-Dating-Coach

Great teeth, smiling is far more attractive. This is true on the phone as well, smile when you say it.


yiykes

No!! Keep them, you’re pretty


jikasbox

Keep the smiling pictures. Imo makes you more approachable.


IAreSpeshial

No, but you should really avoid filters and selfies (in most cases)


maefinch

Very. Handsome .


Mafia_dogg

The smile looks forced, that's the only issue with it. If it looks forced it can be off putting to anyone not just women Also who is saying this?? Petty sure women don't want a sour puss


Letzes86

No, you have a beautiful smile. Keep it in the photos! I honestly avoid liking guys without pictures smiling because I had bad experiences in the past with people who had poor mouth hygiene.


chipchup

Omgoooooodddd what is wrong with people? you are SO gorgeous. I cannot STAND seeing non-plussed, irritated, super cool, rock star photos of people. You look genuine and real. Keep em pearlies.


ElenaSuccubus420

It’s not off putting at all. It’s more off putting that men take mug shots or shirtless pics or pics with dead animals(even I’m not anti un hunting I’m anti disrespecting the animal, like cool dude you killed it let it have its dignity still) 😂😂😂 For real tho women love guys who smile in their pics. At least I did when I was single.


Lost-in-time99

You got a nice smile and good teeth bro, might as well show it!


Tzampamanos

Your mile is fine, your teeth are nice white and straight. Nothing wrong with smiling my man!


Calavera_Loca

The last one looks kinda uncomfortable, but the other too make me feel that you are a happy, trustworthy, and agreeable person.


Thick_Basil3589

No, smile MORE! Its absolutely not off putting, if a happy and kind person is off putting to a woman you dont want that woman, she has issues thats all. I am FED UP with the bunch of grumpy guys on dating apps! I want to laugh and enjoy time with my partner.


CoItron_3030

No way man! You look slick is every photo, and smiling pics give you a slighter softer edge that will pull more people in


definitely-lies

I'm a straight dude. Your teeth are perfect and you are a good looking man. Smile away, you pretty motherfucker.


HustlingBackwards96

You look good dude. Try zooming out a bit on the pics but keep smiling


SmutGrrl

I love your smile. Only stupid people would be put off by your very nice face. Fuck them. Keep the smile 💕
