Does it cost much to SMILE?

I suggest you to say this : Keep smile before it costs you :D

$0 according to the McDonald's menu!!

Let him be. It is his way. He may not have a great senseof humor Or was taught Not to show any emotion Or he is stoic. It doesn't matter the reason just accept him as is.

Hi sj Well, Its really hard to tell what to do? ha ha.. I mean its very hard to change any people's nature. Its not like he is having some problem with smile. Its all about nature. I know some people who used to laugh loudly when there is no need of it.. And then got scold by elders.. And trust me he never listen to anyone.

I'd say tickle him He would surely laugh then hehe! Well I have seen some really very serious people but my friends aren't one of those. We are always talking and screaming and laughing when we are together LOL when I'm with my friends, they make me forget of all the things that's been bothering me and that is why I love them so much hehe!!

There are really people who don't smile a lot. I'm the opposite, I smiled even at the silliest joke! But my BF don't. He is the type of guy you're describing here. He rarely smiles and usually is serious. 'Though I am glad that eventually I am seeing him smile and laugh. Maybe there are just people like that, normal for them and they just don't find humor in most of the things. So just let him be like that

Well , be yourself. If your a smiling type of person then smile at that person eventhough he is a snobbish type. I guess that person has a different type of personality of yours. He seems strict and snob but I guess deep inside of him is glad that someone will share a smile on him.

It's so simple to smile,sometime it makes you the day very good. But there are people that it's very hard for them to smile. You can ask your friend if there is something that make him/her to laugh.

I smile most of the time, unless my mind is preoccupied thinking of something else I don't even notice what I am doing or people I am passing by the only time I don't smile or laugh at a joke is if I don't find it funny or I don't like the person that tells it but yes I used to know someone like that, always serious, at least to me it doesn't bother me, kind of says why he looks much older than people his age LOL

With a really serious voice and face look at him directly in his eyes and ask "Do you know how to smile ?" If that doesn't work .... well, I really couldn't think of anything else :p

I don't know what you can do may be he is just like that? I Am different I can laugh at any thing even in the most precarious situations I would find something funny! I can't help but smile when some one greets me in the street I may be in a bad mood but a smile would brighten my day and some one else's too. Keep smiling after all is free to give and receive and most of all keep the bad wrinkles away.

Hi sjvg: I think that some people act this way thinking that, this is the best way people will take them seriously. These kind of persons are to focus on the problems and the things they have to do that they actually forget about the beauty things we have in life and all the opportunities we have to laugh and enjoy. Sure, smile don't cost a thing. ALVARO

Perhaps you can asked what is going to make him laugh?? It is so sad to know that he is not enjoying things that make others happy...It it is okay I wanted to smile every second I can but you may say that I am crazy to smile alone~(^^)People who don't know me might say that I am a serious person. In fact the truth is I am not. I hope he don't forget how to smile and get laugh. It is pretty serious matter if he do forget how to~(^^)

Not all people smile so easily. Your friend may be that kind of person that even if he is very happy, he will just not smile. Just give him time and maybe one day he will smile at you.

Hello.. It is true that there are a few glum mugs who hate to laugh... They don't understand that smile radiates energy and expresses happiness which is pleasent to the person who receives the smile... Smile takes away the stress... Show a tom and jerry episode to your friend...

How sad for this man for he has forgotten how to smile which unfortunately deprived him of all the goodness of human relationship. If he is a serious person by nature, no amount of jokes can move his lips to smile. It is pointless to get him to smile as he may consider you invading his privacy. Let him learn the simple ABC of smiling by himself and am sure he will shock with his smiling Budha face.

It costs zero pence to smile and it can be bought in any currency. Laughing is good for a person and can be relaxing. One of my friends has a dad that is known as Mr Miserable. One Christmas he got a book called How To Become Happy. It is a shame that he put it in his bookcase and never read it. It is a pity not even the best joke can make your friend laugh or smile. Maybe get a mirror and make funny faces. One might make him laugh. If not he could learn how to get his face into a smile. Good luck.

Hi Sjvg Yes, it costs you only a few chocos, a few simple jokes if you want to make me smile. To MyLot, it only costs one to make me smile. For the guy in question, there is nothing that you can do. He is a corrupt guy and will ask you a big big bribe to pretend he is smiling... and in that Bribe... you can really make many others smile. So try to make them smile - sometimes, many is better than one

you should do nothing ;) not all people have the same sense of humor, sometimes i'm laughing like crazy and my husband will not even smile, because for him it's not funny :D and some other people are just not showing them emotions...

Smile you can only when you wants, to force I think is not the solution. There are people they didn't laugh they lose not you Laughing is healthy and its free so I keep smilimg -)
