Deborah and I had spent Saturday afternoon taking a brisk walk around the Pointe Claire marina. Back at my place, we were about to take turns showering when she paused — and poked me with a provocative thought.
"We should fix your smile."
"What?"
"You need a curl to your lips, Paul. Create a pout above your upper lip."
"What are you talking about, Deborah?"
"You should soften your look."
"Why?"
"Because your smile is too flat. You don't look friendly enough. I mean, I'm fine with it, but I'm just saying..." She leaned forward and kissed me.
"What do you mean by flat?"
"If you practice a pout, you'll make yourself look more approachable. Have you ever looked at your smile in a mirror?"
"Of course I have. But that's what it is. That's MY look. I can't change my smile."
"Yes, you can, Paul. What do you think all us women do?"
Deborah dragged me by the hand into the bathroom to face my mirror.
"OK. Now smile."
I did as I was told.
"See? You look a bit scary. Way too serious. Now put your lips like this."
And then Deborah did this thing that she knows I love: she framed her "fuck me" pout.
"Deborah... I can't do that."
"No, Paul. Just do a teenie-tiny baby pout: upper lip curved, cheeks drawn in a touch, lower your eyelids, and try and seem needy... slightly."
I looked at her and blinked, then did as I was instructed. And jeez... SHE was right. She was absolutely right.
I smiled and tried variations. More pout and then less. I strained to make it look natural. I guess it's like your posture — you have to practise. Then Deborah wrapped her arms around my neck, pressed her warm breasts against my shoulders, and whispered into my ear.
"Now, just don't take that fucking look out in public — it's ALL mine."
Deborah stepped into the shower while I was still staring into the mirror.
Steam billowed as I lost sight of myself — but I could easily see the path to where she was. I smiled my NEW smile and followed.😁
... Scarlet has been practising...everyone has their own version...

Amazing i love
True that.👍
You can't teach an old dog new tricks. I'll just have to rely on my "RBF" (resting bitch face) to attract men. 😁
As I've mentioned below. I don't know if my "new" smile is sustainable, since I'd have to carry a mirror around. But it was (is) fun to mess around.😁
Lol. yes . i think that is in the female genes . I must find a Deborah, been told i have a unapproachable look
I found Deborah walking her dog by the marina about a year ago. I'll ask if she has any friends. 🐕🦺🐶🐕🐩
I knew my smile was not pulling its weight. But seriously? I'm not sure if her advice is sustainable; I need a fricken mirror to pull it off. 😁
Yes. Yes
I agree one hundred percent. 👍😂
Men love to change women to adapt to their particular preferences. Sometimes its a good thing and sometimes not
Hugs!!
True. I used to, but realized it's a waste of time. These days, I go with the flow. 🤗
So, it's a pouty, needy, fuck me smile? I'm going to need more words if I'm going to try and get a mental image of that. (Fuck me looks invariably involve the eyes, as demonstrated by Scarlet!)
As to your question. I haven't really had a partner overtly try to fix me, but there have been odd comments on occasion that I believe were meant to make me "think" about my behavior. Yeah...that didn't work.
I have to work on that "pout," but who has the time? Smiles come so quickly, and then they're gone before you know it. 😂
@MyNameIsKay
You have behavior issues? Lol... 😂
Anything ya wanna share? 😲😎
@Paulxx001 My ex had a whore/lady kind of complex. He loved women who could swear, but that wasn't allowed for his wife. Now and again, he'd say things like, "I keep thinking that you're a lady, but then I remember that you're not." That would be a parting shot as he would leave the room, designed for me not to be able to respond. So I guess I was supposed to contemplate. Um, no. It never bothered me really. I always felt that it was his issue that he couldn't remember what kind of woman he married! In the end, he left me for someone that swore like a sailor. I guess he got over the "lady" part of things. 🤣
@MyNameIsKay
Wow. Sounds rough. I can see and hear it.
As long as YOU are happier now.
If ever, I can help with the screenplay.
It's worthy. 😶
Just saying.💕
@Paulxx001 The truth is...after I retire, I do plan to write. I want to take my blogs (when I used to actually write a lot) and weave them into some kind of book. I'd never thought about putting anything like that in there, but I suppose I could! Maybe it would spice it up. Lol. I know how to get ahold of you if I need some help. 💕
@Paulxx001 And him leaving me was good, even though at the time I was blindsided and crushed. I am happier now (certainly more orgasmic) and doing my own thing. I have a great smile! 🤗
@MyNameIsKay
It sounds like you have a really solid game plan. Good for you.🤗
I'll imagine those pearly whites from here. 😁
Just try to not look like a pedophile or dirty old man. You will be fine.😉 Try to fix me……does net worth reduction count? That SOB 🤨
Say who... what now?
WTF do THEY look like, and why would I want to look like one?
Yeah... gotcha. As a former accountant, I would always be asked to fluff up the bottom line. Sheesh... 😲
My NEW smile...
Deborah seems like a fun and well-intentioned friend 👍🏻
About your question, the answer is yes: tips on how to improve my way of walking to hide my limp on many occasions. Some of the advice was useful and some wasn’t, but as long as the intention was good, I’ve always appreciated it 😊
Well-intentioned? lol...
She is definitely something. I always find women with a POV intriguing and so much fun. You know what I mean. lol...😲😂
I understand what you mean: good intentions are always appreciated. 💕
Interesting. I always thought a pout involved the lower lip, not the upper. Good thing she didn't try to teach you to smile with your eyes ... that's a tough one.
I always had THAT skill.
It's easier than you think: just pretend to look bored, tilt your head, and get close enough so she smells your Christian Dior.💕
@Paulxx001 personally, I'm an Obsession for men by Calvin Klein gal
@superbjversion2
No worries. I have that one as well. Actually, I don't stick to one scent. My local pharmacy gives out tiny samplers, and I have a dozen different brands. If you had a scratch'n sniff phone, you'd know what I'm wearing now. 😎
SEXY 😍
Totally true... 💕
I'm working on it, but I haven't got it down pat yet.
One of my buddies looked at me yesterday and asked, "What the fuck are you doing Paul?"
It's funny when someone puts a bug in your head.
"Smile" is a song based on an instrumental theme used in the soundtrack for Charlie Chaplin's 1936 movie Modern Times.
OK, now these fish?
Way too many sharp teeth for a grin. 😂
