Title: Resting Bitch Face, Explained
Post by: Mase on February 03, 2016, 04:03:54 PM

Resting Bitch Face (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2016/02/02/scientists-have-discovered-the-source-of-your-resting-bitch-face/?tid=pm_pop_b)

WaPo:

"Among the slew of pop culture icons said to be afflicted with so-called Resting Bitch Face (alternatively known as Bitchy Resting Face), the vast majority are women, though Kanye West is among the male examples. All of them have been mocked by Internet commenters for having a certain unintentional expression when their faces are not in motion  — a look best described as vaguely annoyed, maybe a little judgy, perhaps slightly bored."

It is a cultural thing promulgated by the Black community, and Hip Hop Culture.  It's not cool to look happy anymore.  You have to look tough, and annoyed.  I went through this with my stepson.  If he didn't smile enough, I'd shove him in the plane, and do departure stalls.

I don't know- my wife says I look pissed all the time, and I'm the Whitest Man in America. Maybe I should stop watching the news and posting on PS... of course my realization (since Election Day 2008) that this is no longer the country I grew up in and is in the descent phase of the ballistic parabola can't be helping my expression any.,

I did notice that Caitlin Gibson had a smiling face shot.

RBF is a bullshit meme some lowlife ass dreamed up.  Most people do not spend their day smiling.  99% always always look like they are pissed off with the spouse, kids, dogs, and the world.
GET OVER IT! 
It is a non-story.  Move along.

The only expressionless face is on a dead body.  The assumptions the researchers made are asinine.
