Fake smilers
I took this test just now. It's a test to see if you can identify fake smiles. I got 15 out of 20 correct, which, is very good. I do consider myself good at body language. Not that I've taken any course or read any books, except random articles in magazines. I can usually tell when something fishy is going on. Not always but much better than anyone else I know can.
People put on fake smiles all the time. I don't like it atl all. I'd prefer much more if the person was honest and not smile at all. Atleast I'll know for sure if something I did was ridiculous. I get fake smiles all the time. And I throw them back too. Especially with teachers. Much less often with friends. Sometime, it's okay to chuck a fake smile/laugh. For example, if a teacher is desperately trying to liven up the mood in a class. Or if a friend is trying to be funny by narrating a dumb boring incident and you find yourself sitting there for hours, then, laugh! -- to satisfy the empty ego of your friend. But otherwise I'd prefer it if others were honest to me. Ofcourse I have no idea how others would want me to do.

Ay-yah! Tough luck for poor Darcy. He can't even get away with fake smiles now. :O You've got him in one big fix.
Arre sometimes karna padta hai yaar.
Whenever my boss cracks any pakau joke....whole office laughs like anything....as though jokes of laughter challenge are in no match for his ones.Obviously the laugh is fake and unnecessarily extended.
Same goes with stupid smiling for prospective clients.
Karna Padta hai....rozi roti ka prashna hai.

//Tough luck for poor Darcy.

They do the same thing for the physics lecturer in my college(school, actually). Sometime, it's absolutely necessary, yes.

@ankit
As long as they don't know it's a fake smile, it's okay.
Hi,
Sorry to enroach on your space but I wanted to reply to the comment you left on Tanvi's post on feminism.
"Here's a kicker. Women like to be controlled. Not openly, but subtly. They like it when men take the lead. Women follow the leaders. It's in their blood."
I heartily disagree with your claim that it's in their blood. If you tame a tiger and feed it and not let it hunt and one day leave it in the wild expecting it to hunt, it'll not be able to.
Similarly, women since birth are told to follow rather than to lead. Those who 'dare' to do not survive as even the most liberal feminists still live in the dominated male society.
Agreed, some don't want to lead but those who do are not given a chance for the men believe it to be a threat.
Oh Btw.. my score was 13/20 :D
@pam
Now, where did you learn that?
@adi
Okay, Now I don't know what to think...
ney-ha!!!

//Jack dorkson?! First you betray poor Darcy, then you elope with some dork? That's very bad of you. Hmph.
Mrs. Neigh-ha Dorkson. I can see it now.
