Just so everyone's aware, the entire thought process behind this attempts to paint men as predators.

We are mammals who have a biological urge to find a mate and you're over here whining when people beg for the attention you get. https://twitter.com/emrazz/status/1301614780306714624

How weird would it be for a man to complain incessantly about women approaching him on the street? Or anywhere for that matter? How much ridicule would this person receive? Women are much more conniving and manipulative with their harassment.

"Oh my god, this guy wants to have sex with me"...

Ok? AND? Where's the humility and gratitude that someone wants to give you the time of day?

Oh wait I forgot the type of crowd I'm dealing with doesn't know a damn thing about humility or being able to accept a compliment.

It's just b***** resting face all around and everyone has to be subject to their disdain for the world

You're asked to smile because your frown* is bringing down the energy. There's nothing nefarious or sinister behind asking you to smile. It comes from the common upbringing that positivity is much more pleasant to be around than a negative person.

And when you work in the field such as customer service, nobody wants to see whatever negative emotion you're going through. Your job is to smile at the customer and make that customer want to return. They don't care about whatever it is you've got going on and neither do I.

People don't want to patronize an establishment where the employee appears unhappy. If you cannot genuinely put on a smile because you're happy that people are patronizing the job that pays you your paycheck you don't deserve to work there.

From my perspective, I don't want to see or feel you brooding in a place where I'm coming to relax. Either smile or GTFO

There's also that issue of contempt. Some of us are able to read emotion and energy projected at us. We can tell when you don't like us by the look on your face or other body language and how you feel.

When you give off friendly energy, you're approachable.

When you're not smiling or aware of the energy projected through facial expression & and tone, it can often appear you're having an attitude.

This isn't telling you to tolerate creepy behavior when someone is telling you in a sexual manner to smile. There's been a few times where I've looked at someone and they're attractive but their demeanor is a turnoff. We have a natural urge to flirt & rejection stings.
