The serious issue of BRF -- are YOU affected?!

[zippypinhead]

It seems to me that being stricken with this terrible disorder could really be a hindrance in camland.

 

[AllisonWilder]

I would think that BRF could really serve a Domme pretty well. :lol:

ahaha amazing!

It is true that some people do just have a bitchy look on their faces even when they don't mean to. I don't think it is always a negative thing though as lots of people actually really like bitchy or aggressive people. You think of how many people who are actually really nasty to everyone end up having loads of friends and a really full social life, I think it's something to do with aggressive people often end up being leaders because they're forceful with it, so if someone looks like they're going to be bitchy/aggressive chances are they'll get people following them.
Like there are many camgirls who are total bitches to their regulars, some members might absolutely hate that, but seeing as there are many who earn quite a lot and have pretty high camscores I think seeing as no one is forced to visit those girls, it means there are enough guys who genuinely want to hang out with and tip someone who's a total bitch. Maybe because it's a challenge, maybe because they enjoy it more when their tips make the model act nice to them, maybe they just enjoy being bossed around and treated badly. Like many girls love dating arseholes (as much as they moan about their treatment), many guys love dating bitches (and equally love moaning about them).

I think they were bitches and assholes as children and were always making faces. Then over time they stopped being that way but their faces froze in that expression. They should have listened to their mother when they were warned their face would freeze like that. :naughty: :snooty:

Berry, I love this explanation!

Im pretty sure most people assume I'm a giant cunt. Lifelong BRF suffering </3

This is also known as chronic bitch face.

I have what I call a "bitchy eyebrow". I hold my right eyebrow raised pretty much all the time, so I look like a Vincent Price/ Lauren Bacall bitch almost always unless I'm smiling (which thankfully I do a LOT so that helps. LOL)

My biology teacher actually explained this. It takes more muscles to frown than to smile, so if you're constantly frowning as a kid, it works out the muscles needed to frown. Thus, when you're an adult, you get that slight frown unless you're consciously smiling.

I have a mild frown unless I'm actually happy. Even when I feel like I should have a light smile, it looks like I'm slightly frowning, because I spent so much of my younger years being very unhappy. I need one of those Japanese "make yourself smile" thingies. (you know, that slight tube with lips at the end which is supposed to train your mouth to smile when resting)

Pretty much. We are a product of our environment, and our reactions to it. Some of us didn't have a great start in life. If we spent our time feeling sorry for ourselves and resenting our circumstances, it's going to show up in our faces, and if we find something, anything positive in our lives, that will show up, too. Others have everything most people would think will make one happy, but are spoiled, ungrateful, demanding of ever more and absolutely miserable.

It's not irreversible, though. We've probably all known people whose appearance changed when they have fallen in love, found a career that fulfills them or whose circumstances have otherwise changed for the better. Being loved is probably the best beauty treatment there is.

However, nobody has really come up with a definitive number for how many muscles it takes to smile or frown -- one person's smile is another person's smirk. Also, not everyone has the same number of facial muscles; some have more, enabling a wider range of expression, while some people actually have 40 percent fewer [source: Devlin].

You would think this would be something easy to prove one way or another, but apparently no one truly knows how many muscles it takes to smile or frown. There is not much doubt that smiling is better than frowning for your health and well being.

The whole thing about the number of muscles is interesting, but of little practical use. I doubt that we smile because it's less effort than frowning, or frown because we want to bulk up.

*shrugs* Does not surprise me that he's wrong. Of course, 9th grade was... uh... 14 years ago, and it's possible his info was over 20 years old, so it could be that he was telling the truth as he knew it and still wrong.

I don't have BRF, I have PRF - Pissed Resting Face. People are always apologizing or asking what's wrong.
