Okay, I'll just pretend you to be someone from Mars to ignore the awkwardness of the following: Among humans, it is common place to make facial expression of openness, friendliness and many other words along those lines. That often means in practice: Smiling. It is supposed to ensure other parties of one's good intentions, to ease tensions, to reduce distrust or to simply seem more likable. For many people and while the exact extend of use may vary a lot, such "strategic" smiles are common place in every day live, so much, that their fakedness may hardly if at all enter the mind of those faking the smile or those recognizing it.
In the end, smiling is a sophisticated and multi-faceted tool to coordinate social interaction. Its raw core are simple emotions, its civilized use is one of making living together easier.

Now, I don't know what is up on Mars or what on Mars is considered a faked smile. But that pretty much is the situation down here.

That was quite brilliant. spot on.
..to SS yes I smile quite regularly. When I see someone I know, but don't know that well i will smile. If I'm meeting a lecturer i will smile initally, sometimes if i'm in a good mood i will even smile at the person on the till in the supermarket. :P
 
So unless you smile all the time at people, even if you don't feel like it, you're an unfeeling, soulless robot. Got it. I'll go get some staples.
 
They all look like a bunch of jocks to me. None strike me as more or less trustworthy.

Maybe if they where dressed in normal clothes it would help.
 
Very kind of you good sir. :hatsoff:
@SS-18 ICBM
Maybe just observe for a while when and how people are smiling.

I have. Once again, they don't smile like Four. You know, like they're hiding something.

At least Two isn't BSing me.
