Why do we have all the smileys but the real one? A Duchenne smile, which can only be faked by supposedly 10% of the global population on this Earth is the on real smile recognized by leading researchers in the field of emotions.
Now this is OBV-iously (mock punctuation) NOT the place to be getting into a discussion of Neuroscience 101, which is itself only fit for college FreshMan and FreshWoman (or people that just want to be fresh) but....

Don't worry about slowing down their servers that is the US GOV there and as I live in that country I feel free to hand out their hyper-links.
To briefly quote...
"
In 1862, the French neurologist and physiologist G.-B. Duchenne de Boulogne published a remarkable treatise on facial expressions....
(stuff omitted)
Duchenne concluded that the emotion-driven contraction of these muscle groups surrounding the eyes, together with the zygomaticus major, communicates the genuine experience of happiness, joy and laughter. The smile characteristic of these emotional states has therefore been termed the “Duchenne smile” by subsequent investigators.
"
If you see the blue fonts in the above quote that is my emphasis and was not present in the initial page.
Italics and bold on 'Duchenne smile' is also mine.
And in subsequent investigations his basic findings have been found to be...
1) Transcultural (we smile like this all around the world) and;
2) Transgender (both men and women show a Duchenne smile) and;
3) Transgenerational (little tots, toddlers, five year olds, tweens, teenagers (lonely or otherwise), 20 something's, thirty somethings (that'd be me), 40 whatevers, and all the rest of the elderly....
(SMILE) (that last bit about the elderly was aimed at Tesral he is getting crabby)
Now Farcaster don't get me wrong...
(audio track voice over...'Don't get me Wrong...if I am acting all distracted... I see Neon Lights whenever you type posts...Don't get me Wrong...' -Very Cool Jazzy song heard in my local bagel place)
Don't get me wrong DUDE, but I am a guy we have been show in scientific studies mostly done by women to have inabilities to distinguish Duchenne smiles from all the fake ones men and women through at each other so...
to help with my dating quest, that's not an 'EverQuest', I'd like you to construct the REAL Smiley with the characteristic involuntary facial ticks of a TRUE smile so... a Duchenne smile.
well I need to know when the next one is REALLY smiling at me. I hate it when they give me those Vermont facial wry grins and I think the woman who is my age is smiling at me until later...
(sheesh) I don't even want to remember that so please just give me a decent smiley.
This :) ain't it Farcaster but that's OK, I forgive you.
People tell me I am big that way.
:cool:
