Missokyst -> silly question but what is a..? (11/2/2015 7:50:03 AM)

when people type out "soft smile", what does that mean to you?
IDK, I tend to full out smile, laugh lines and all, or I have a normal no expression face.
What is a soft smile?



Spiritedsub2 -> RE: silly question but what is a..? (11/2/2015 8:34:34 AM)

A faintly amused grin? As opposed to full blown LOL?
Or, and much worse, it's the mating call of the "true sub" [sm=kiss.gif]

Yeah..
The reason I am asking is that one of the people I know from northern CA recently got married. As he had never been married before I was pretty doggone happy he had found someone and my reaction was a huge smile, just before I sent off my congrats. Somewhere down the line of reactions to his change of status I noticed a "soft smile" from someone. And I thought, 'what is that, regret? nostalgia? wistfulness?'
So, me being me I tried a few smiles. IDK, maybe I am just not capable of doing a soft smile because mostly they looked sarcastic.

I think of it as an insipid, insincere, half-arsed imitation of a smile.

The kind of smile that can turn a masochistic slave into a face-slapping hellion.

LOL now that made me smile! LOL one of those wrinkle producing, hard smiles!

Hey, I just saw that SimplyMichael got married! (And the softsmiles post). Congratulated him on Fet; I don't think he comes here anymore.



Missokyst -> RE: silly question but what is a..? (11/2/2015 12:34:04 PM)

yeah, long time bachelor Michael is no longer single.
His posts and updates in the last 8 months or so have shown him to be quite content.
I hope they last a long time. It is always nice to see things work out. [:D] <-big smile

"Soft smiles perfectly combine contentment, awe, and confidence in a way unharnassable by any other facial expression."

ahh... see now when I make that face it generally means the moment is ok, but not good enough to risk showing age lines.



MasterG2kTR -> RE: silly question but what is a..? (11/2/2015 6:22:03 PM)

I'm just gonna say that it's fine.....so long as there isn't an eye roll that goes with it.....
