So what could Principle number two of likeability be? Let's go ahead and take a look at this particular image. And my question for you is, what is the first sign that someone likes you take a look over here at the woman? What is she doing? Maybe you can guess I'll give you a hint. What do you think?

Well, to show or the sign that somebody likes you usually is immediately and you guessed it, they smile. So Principle number two is simply to smile has a huge impact. And it's so easy to do. There is some interesting science behind the smile. We won't look at the details in this lesson, but I encourage you to Google how smiling affects the body and the mind. You may find it quite interesting.

But we'll look at two quick things. Number one, it makes us appear more attractive to others. If you saw two pictures of the same person, one when they're smiling and the other one they're not, people are going to rate the smiling picture as more attractive nine times out of 10. So to make yourself more attractive, not just physically attractive, but likability attractive, you want to smile. It makes you more open and more approachable to others, and it can lift our mood, as well as the moods of those around us. So if you smile, just the act of smiling creates neurotransmitters in the brain that make you feel better.

It's amazing how it works. And not only does it do that to you, when someone sees you smile, it creates the same effect in their brains. This may be why people can be more attractive and attracted to others when there's a smile, but your smile needs to be real. It needs to be sincere. People will know when you're faking it. The typical fake smile only has the mouth smiling.

But the eyes need to smile too. You can spot a fake smile. So let me demonstrate for a moment. Here is a fake smile. You're looking around looking My eyes are not really moving, but my mouth is fake smile. Sometimes when people are trying to smile, but they feel strange.

It might look like this. But typically a fake smile doesn't have the eyes moving but only the mouth. But a real smile has everything. The eyes smile and the mouth smiles. Let me try and give you a genuine example. How about that?

So did you smile too? If you didn't, I'll try one more time ready? Hopefully you smile. There's an ancient Chinese proverb one that I think is also comical because Like this, a man without a smiling face must not open a shop. What does this mean? You're not going to sell anything.

If you open a store and you don't smile. Think about the service you've gotten before, where a waiter or waitress had a nice personality, you probably tipped more, you probably want to go back to that restaurant. More. However, look on the other side. If you have service where someone's just angry, or depressed, or in negative mood, you're not going to have a very good experience either. This is the same thing with all social interactions.

So when you smile, it has a compounding effect that makes others feel better, therefore makes you feel better and everybody wins. So don't forget to smile. Try it today. The next time you're walking down the street. The next time you're in the office or the next time you're meeting students, fellow colleagues, smile, smile at people you know. Also smile at a stranger.

Watch them smile back a million dollars. I bet you'll feel better. They'll feel better. Be a person who adheres the principle number two smile
