I've read this article saying happiness in men isn't seductive.

(Article; Is happiness a turn off)
http://www.bakadesuyo.com/2011/05/is-ha ... -turn-off/

A lot of people have also said that James Bond doesn't smile and that's what's seductive about him etc.
Now I don't understand this.

Like in this interview, again the interviewer says Bond doesn't smile

To me it seems like he's smiling again, what exactly do people mean when they say smiling isn't seductive?
I've seen George Clooney smile quite often

It's the difference between a friendly smile and a sexy smile.

Chase actually wrote an article about this. https://www.girlschase.com/content/smile ... smile-sexy

You want to project a warm, open vibe rather than a cold vibe. However, at the same time, you don't want to be "friendly", as that will get you slotted in the friend zone.

Yes, exactly.

Altimeter, if you check out the post on being edgy:

How to Be Edgy (and Turn Women On)

... you'll notice that all the images of men there have a slight hint of a smile playing about their mouths. But no one would say they're "smiling."

This is a big part of a sexy facial expression. Stick to hints of smiles, closed mouth, rather than full-blown smiles, and you'll be a very sexy cat.

Someone that I've always thought pulls off full-blown smiles well is the actor James Franco. I'm not sure how he does it; maybe it's the squinting of the eyes? But he still manages to look sexy showing full teeth.

This is something I've really been trying to work on: to not show teeth as much when I smile. Sometimes though if something is funny enough, I just can't help but burst out in full laughter with teeth flashing bright in front of a girl.

I spent a lot of time on smiles and such, and here's what I've found.

The sexier smile is a smaller one, without teeth showing. Having bed room eyes usually helps with this.

One that I've been experimenting with is where I tilt my chin up and flash a sexy smile.

The full-on, toothy smile is great at eliciting warm feelings, especially if it is a slower-spreading one. As far as seduction and being sexy go.. Well, this one really doesn't seem to give off a sexual appearance. If the girl is feeling like you are so sexy that you are out of her league, using a warm smile can help to tone it down a bit so she isn't so deep and auto-rejecting. This is probably why you see celebrities manage to pull off this look; they are already so sexy, that using the warm smile helps to warm things up and take a little bit of the edge off.
 
a good date brings a smile to your lips... and hers

This is a fantastic point, and one I hadn't thought on before. Great thinking here.

Hi Ross,
The head tilt is something new that I hadn't thought of before. I just did it with no one around and it feels very smart. I want to improve my bed room eyes, as you call it. Is there any thing you do with your face to make them appear? I have an idea of what you mean, but I never feel like I'm doing it right.

I can try to explain it. Or better yet, I'll show you a picture!

Basically you ever so slightly lower your eyelids. It's pretty hard to explain facial movements, but try and resemble the man in this picture when you do your gaze.

Ross's picture is spot on, but if you want more, here's a video or as I like to call it the blueprint for sexy smiling. (Yes it's a girl's show, but it is a great example)
