Philosophy: A Great Smile

If there's one physical attribute I'm attracted to in the opposite sex, it's a warm smile. Some people can do it, other's can't. It doesn't matter what they look like. The right smile can still give me butterflies just like a little kid. It's really pathetic, but it's not my fault. That's just the way it works.

I'd hazard to say that smiling is almost better than sex. Think about it for a second:

  • It makes the smiler and the receiver feel good. (keep in mind, we aren't talking about a disgruntled postal worker smile here)
  • You can smile at a total stranger and not feel guilty afterward.
  • You can smile at as many people as you want, as often as you want.
  • I've never heard horrible rumors about people who "smile at everyone"...
  • You can smile at anyone. The most attractive person you've ever seen? Go for it. They don't even have to be attracted to you to smile back. (Great ego booster when you're feeling like joining a monastery.)
  • I don't know any diseases you can get from smiling at someone else. No background checks or blood tests when you meet someone you want to smile at.
  • People's ability to smile rarely decreases when they're drunk... (Did I just type that?)
