quarterinch's blog post - a sweet smile

A fellow blogger had a straw poll a few weeks ago asking what a sweet smile from a girl meant to you?
When I was 20, it meant she just wanted to be friendly; when I turned 25, it meant that she would like me to satisfy her needs; when I turned 30 and I was married, it became a whole new ballgame it was part of the big picture, it meant a sweet smile was a way of deceit so the male thinks it is his decision but in actual fact has little or no say in that or any decision. I need to say from the outset: My wife is the boss of our house!! I have given up all this bullshit male dominance thing, thinking I was the head of the house (that is only on the census form!). When my wife smiles at me it means I am being pushed further down the pecking order, currently below the dog, the cat and the goldfish.

My personal trainer smiles at me at gym and although sweet in the visual departmment, it is probably revenge for some perceived ill committed by a male in some previous life in one hour she turns a rational thinking male into a blubbering, shaking mess.
My older daughter also smiles sweetly at men, but mutters under her breath "Dad, all men are bastards, the only thing that varies is the degree, they all only want to get into your pants then fuck you off"
So I am left with a somewhat cynical question, what does that smile really mean? Does it mean "I want you and you will soon become part of my universe" or a sweet smile of friendship?

I have my answer, but that is borne out by 36 years of marriage
