Lol you obviously are not good at subtlety or body language are you? lol
How can something that's obvious to one person not be seen by another? Strange.
It's good that you didn't go into psychology or therapy as a career. lol
Do you really need the "scowl" to be overdramatic like in the movies for you to see it? lol
People harboring deep hate wear it on their faces and in their auras. Attitude really shows on the face and vibe of people.
I had a close AW friend with a very bad temper who would explode at little things and was always looking for ways to tear down others. But it was never her fault. She always found fault with others. And she could never keep any friends, even though all her friends were guys.
The thing is, even when she was calm and relaxed on the exterior, I could feel her hate and anger boiling inside her. Such strong emotions and inner wells of fury and hatred can never be truly hidden you know. Eventually it would rub off on me too, and was toxic. Thus it was hard to relax or feel peaceful around her.
Lol, right Winston, you're a psychologist and therapist. You are capable of telling from a photograph when people in photos are scowling beneath the surface even though there's no facial expression?
Scowl - an angry or bad-tempered expression.
Doesn't look like there's an expression on their faces but then, you're capable and I'm not, what do I know. Sort of like thinking that because a woman looks sweet she is actually sweet.

If I were to judge you the same way you judge people I would say that this sentence describes your own feelings about women to the Tee. But I am probably wrong because you're happier abroad, right?
A couple days ago I was standing in line at the embassy the other day. I brought my sons with me. They overheard the woman in front of them speaking Spanish. They can both speak a little Spanish so I told them to go say hello in Spanish so they could practice.
"No, she looks mean Daddy." Of course, I told them it was all in their mind.
I asked my oldest son to tap this mean-looking 25-year-old woman on the shoulder. He did and said to her in Spanish, "Hello, it's very hot, isn't it?" She broke in to a big smile and they started conversing in Spanish. Granted, he's a kid and granted I agree some women have perpetual scowls ingrained on their face. But many times what we think of others is simply our perception and perception is not always reality.
There are times my wife comes home and asks me, "What's wrong. Are you in a bad mood?" 99% of the time I'm simply deep in thought or dead tired. Save for the 1%, nothing is wrong at all...her perception is incorrect.
