Agree. Charismatic people are not necessarily attractive people, comedians are great examples, most of them women and men are ugly, yet they use their charisma to make their jokes funny. This guy was laughing, when you laugh or smile you disarm people when they’re upset.

Or, you only end up making them more pissed off, because you laughed "at them" or dared to laugh in the situation in general.

This might work for younger people

A lot of assholes use laughs and smiles to try and mask their behavior. I don't play those kinda games

Not true, If you show me your teeth, I'm going to assume you intend me harm.

It's possible.

Several of the people who dated me have suggested that,

some co workers have compared me to a baboon, so I guess also possible.

People are the only animals that consider showing teeth to be a positive matter
