What does it mean by "Fake" smile?

[Tolwynn]

Like a forced smile, without any genuine happiness, pleasure, etc., behind it.

[Daniel]

Yea. I got confused on that. It would have been nice to get some context, because I started out thinking it was something to do with photoshopping because the first 3 or 4 didn't have accompanying facial movements besides the mouth.

Then I was like..wait..the fuck that doesn't make sense.

and got alls crewed up.

[Nieninque]

Oh yeah, it's people pretending they are smiling...rather than smiling because they are happy.

Some of those people scared me -- I wouldn't want to see them smiling, real or fake anyways.

Look at the labels below each image to see which smiles are genuine and which are fake.

Ticks and crosses show which smiles you got right and wrong.

Fuck you all above me.

19/20. Just looked for lines by the eyes.

[Skeeter]

Brittish are not pretty people.

[Shifted]

19-20, got a fake one wrong. it's all in the eyes.

[Daniel]

Careful Strayrogue will have a shit fit on you for saying this.

And I wont even discuss grills.

[Trouble]

I got 20 out of 20 correct. EZ.

[Clove]

I got 13 of 20. Ironic that the test explains that most people are surprisingly bad at spotting fake smiles. I guess PC posters are surprisingly good.

[Gan]

We've had lots of practice detecting fakes here.

I have a feeling that adding in people I know from the local game shop would immediately drag this average score down. Socially inept congregating areas at its finest.

How the fuck do the testers themselves know whether a smile is fake or real. Do they tell the people "ok now give us a REAL smile!"? Don't know about anyone else but I can't genuinely smile on command.

Oh and: 15 out of 20 here.

[Drisco]

12 out of 20...

I think mine was messed up tho... I clicked play and I saw the person smile for like 1/2 a sec and then it went normal... I think I might not have let it load all the way...

Also I think my fake smile and real smile a the same. I compared a picture of a known fake/real smile and they looked the exact same.

<<How the fuck do the testers themselves know whether a smile is fake or real.>>

There's likely something happening off-screen or audibly; either the person is just smiling like a d-bag (fake), or they film their face and make them laugh, then cut it to just before-smile-after (genuine).

[Latrinsorm]

16 out of 20, with the most useful facial feature being the lol brielus. Suck on THAT, Professor Paul Ekman of the University of California!

[Stanley Burrell]

I only got 10/20 correct.

But I didn't play any of the videos. Of those 10/20 9/10 were correct from what I (believe) I had appropriately observed in the still.

People with light eyes, watch out.

Really? Because we... uh... see each other all the time?

You are being very literal in your old age.
I'm pretty sure he meant fakes in general, rather than fakes as in fake smiles.
;)

[Miss Ismurii]

This is dumb.

I got 10 out of 20 correct.

It's only dumb when you fail.

Thanks for clearing that up. So glad you're here to point out sarcasm and spelling mistakes.

Next time throw in that I'm Cuban too. That and being called old are always fun. :tongue:

[Nieninque]

I don't understand the Cuban thing...I guess it loses it's meaningfulness in crossing the Atlantic. It would be like me calling you a scouser.

[Stanley Burrell]

Damnable scousers.



I hate people with always bleary eyes. Well I don't, but they're harder to read.

[Aaysia]

I got 12/20.

[Stanley Burrell]

I got 12/20.

Because you're a scouser!

What is a scouser anyway?

:heart:

I bet you think lots of people like you, though.

And holy stereotypical British teeth Batman!

[Stanley Burrell]

They use FACS.

Fluorescent activated cell sorting.

The ultimate in plastic smile detection/prevention?

[Clove]

I don't understand the Cuban thing...It means you or your family are from Cuba. It pretty much means the same thing on either side of the Atlantic.

[Nieninque]

ha ha

[StrayRogue]

Cubans = Scarface ie, Real Class.

[Keller]

All I did was look at their teeth. If they were busted and they smiled with teeth, I assumed it was fake. Otherwise I concluded it was sincere.

I got 1 out of 20 correct.

[DCSL]

I got 16/20. I'm kind of surprised. I thought I'd get less than ten correct because I can be shockingly bad at reading strangers' faces sometimes. Interesting test.

[Shalla]

18/20. 5 and 10 were wrong.

Aren't you all scousers (minus Ireland [as part of The UK?])

Some of the nastiest teeth I've ever seen.

I can't speak / type in words how much I am disagreeing.

That stupid Wikipedia page is basically equating city Brits to all = Cockney Accents/"Scouse" if convenient.

I still don't understand :wtf: it's trying to convey.
