    Yeah it’s such a burden on you when other men hit on your wife. Good thing you told her to stop.

    Those men would do so whether your wife was smiling or not. You’ve successfully told her to dampen her own joy.

          In my experience it does make a difference. I am in a similar position with my partner.

          Smiling = men thinking you are up to talk or more 🤢

            Men will also often tell women and girls to smile if they aren’t.

            It doesn’t matter what women do, men will harass us regardless.

              I was told to smile.

              While I was wearing a face mask.

              Even when it’s stupid they say it!!
