Mirror smiles.

Simulated and insincere smile stretches his cheeks only. Pay attention to your eyes when you smile.
A smile in the photo.
Before photographing photographers are asked to tell the famous "Chi-i-i-s." At this point, our cheeks stretch and we did smile, but, as mentioned earlier, not with the eyes. During the photo, standing with a camera smile yourself, remembering the mirror neuron (fun memories :)) and say something more original.
A smile can be simulated without consequences.
Most people can not distinguish a fake smile, the smile on this. It is believed that the smile – the weapon of liars, that is, often smiling man probably lying. In fact, this is not true. Australian customs officials searched records from passing the border people and noticed that the illegal immigrants, smugglers, criminals are much less smile. And who will smile at the question of a customs officer, "Did you drop the bag of cocaine?"

Women smiling lies in the nature of the brain.
People who are prone to obedience, often smiling in the presence of those who dominate them. For example, in the presence of the director. The bosses, on the contrary, subordinate only smiles in friendly circumstances. Both men and women smile at work. A woman looks at such times submissive and weak when compared with the unsmiling and stern men. It is believed that this is the result of the historical subordination of women. However, even in the age of eight months, the girls smile more youthful representatives of the stronger sex. Academic Nancy Henley calls a female smile "sign peacemaker" is used to suppress a government of men. During the communication, the girls are smiling at the 26% more often.

Maybe that is why a sense of humor is one of the first places among the attractive qualities a man for a woman. Through the eyes of men, women do not need to tell jokes, even on April 1, it is enough to laugh at his jokes. The man, who according to the procedure with a sense of humor, is more attractive to most women.

What did you feel afterwards? Tingling all over, right? This is due to release of endorphins and you feel the rise and joy. According to Paul Ekman, we are drawn to smiling and gay people because they can really affect our nervous system. Seeing the smiling man, we smile in response, the brain produces endorphins.
