If you answer the poll question, please explain your choice. I would rather have a permanent frown. A smile might annoy grumpy people; I figure that a frown would protect me from them.

(Note: Please do not use the word "or" in the mathematical sense. Choose one of the first two options if your answer is "yes". Choose the last option if your answer is "no".)

I chose neither because both have apparently caused me problems.

I voted for "neither", which I believe is the only sensible choice.

I probably wear a frown too often for everyone's liking, including my own.

I think I have a good sense of humour, but I'm fundamentally very cynical and pessimistic!

Pernament frown because maybe then I'd intimdate people and not be such a pushover :twisted:

Permanent frown, because I actually look more handsome when I'm frowning, I've noticed. And I seem to get more respect from people that way.

But I don't think I could ever do that. :D

I'd rather have a perm.

I essentially have a permanent frown, although I don't always realize I'm frowning. It's just my neutral facial expression.

Permanent frown:

1) Most people seem to think my neutral expression is a frown, so they probably wouldn't notice a big difference.

2) A permanent smile would be downright insincere.

3) I look like real idiot when I smile. I'm not saying I don't always look like an idiot, but it's definitely much worse when I smile. Every time I remember it, I avoid smiling. A permanent smile of mine would be really gross.

I think it would be more creepy to have a permanent smile than a frown. A certain cat is now famous because of her perpetual frowny expression, but smile all the time and people think you need to be locked up, and I'm not going through that nightmare...again!
