Beauty: Resting "B" Face...

"Resting Bitch Face" via Urban Dictionary:

"a person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when her face is expressionless, without meaning to"

Ladies, how many of you have been accused of this? I hear it CONSTANTLY. Not so much that I have the dreaded RBF, but the continual questioning: "What's wrong?" "Are you okay?" "Why don't you smile more?"

I DO smile. I just can't smile all the time. And apparently, I look mad/sad/snobby/unapproachable when in non-smiling mode.

I took a social media poll, and found I am joined in this phenomenon by many gals. Read on for their RBF pics and sound offs...

Happy Susan :)

"I went to a yoga class where I was one of two Susans. The other Susan got to keep her name. I got the nickname 'RBF'. The moniker is actually a term of endearment from one of my favorite instructors, Heidi. She knows how to keep me humble!"

Happy Megan

"I'm a bartender and literally several times a day while at work I'll be minding my own business...and it never fails that someone will say, 'You should smile more often. You're too pretty not to smile.' To which my standard reply is always, 'I'm sorry, that's just what my face looks like.' Like, what am I supposed to do? Smile from ear to ear every second of the day?? At least I'll have less wrinkles..."

"People have told me, 'I don't approach you because I'm afraid you will bite my head off.' 'You just have this don't eff with me look all the time.' 'What did someone do?' 'Who pissed you off?'"
