[SIZE=4]I admittedly dress and wear makeup a little bit over the top, and tell people I do it because I am a makeup artist, and I am. With that being said, when I walk anywhere, I smile at all the women and a few men. Women are still trying to figure out what the hell I am as I pass and men just get all confused.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=4]We all look at one another, as a way of learning about other's habits (right...) and checking them out for threats. I do it to be pre-emptive and strike before they can. If I smile first, then they are on the defensive..[/SIZE]

[SIZE=4]In reality, women do look and smile and talk with one another much more than men. If you don't believe it, try striking up a conversation with the guy peeing at the urinal next to you. Find out real quick why mens rooms are so quiet...[/SIZE]

[SIZE=4]This picture is of me before going to work today. If you passed me on the street wouldn't you smile at me??[/SIZE]
