Women, Here's Something Else to Worry About: Resting Bitch Face

Working on a commision?

I am. But I have to wake up early for this stupid anime convention that I was stupid enough to buy a booth for. I don't even do fan art. I had to make some from scratch...

I used to work with a gal who had this type of face. She gets around it by just putting on a smile all the time. I actually didn't believe her at first, but then she dropped into a neutral expression to prove it. I thought she was just putting on an angry face, so she went the extra mile and put on an actual angry face. I still have nightmares about it to this day.

Yeah, reminder to not mess with Mom ;-)

You've never heard of resting bitch face?

I use it all the time. It's actually my natural state. It's why no one ever hits on me, and I'm fine with that. For all the women who lament that they can never get anything done because they're having to chase boys off with sticks, my first answer is usually to get rid of the come-hither bedroom eyes and work on the resting bitch face.

It's by no means fool proof, but it certainly helps. Body language is still language, and when you're broadcasting to men a face that suggests you'd rather breastfeed orphaned wolverines than flirt with them, most men tend to get the point.

Stop!  Stop!  Goddamnit!!!   My side hurts!!
