This is just my opinion, don't play into a role. Don't be stuck in your self image. Don't try to be something to get other people's approval, or female validation and sex. Work on becoming the best version of yourself. Be present to the moment, don't be in your head thinking about what your face looks like. Be focused on what is happening, what you are doing at that exact moment. If you're talking to an attractive girl and you're in the moment, not thinking anything other than about what is going on, then you would be having a good time. You would have to be because you aren't thinking anything negative. You don't need anything because that would just be a thought about the future. In the present moment you're just talking to a girl and thats all. So when you're focused and clear headed, you will be having fun. Happiness is the default state. Girls are attracted to guys who have real authentic positive emotions.

Meditation helps massively with this. Meditate 20 minutes every day by staring at the wall. Then go start meeting women and just be how you feel. When you get acceptance for being your true self, thats when you build the most confidence. Otherwise you'll develop some weird personality disorder where you feel you need to play a role to be accepted and you can't just be yourself.

Btw if you do this, you're default facial expression will naturally become attractive to women. Body language and everything takes care of itself. Men are naturally attractive to women. There really isn't anything to learn. Most men are just too anxious to be naturally attractive. You just have to get rid of the bullshit thoughts and learn social awareness which is done by taking massive action to meet new women while staying present to the moment.

Agreed with the above. Don't focus on facial expression, that is superficial. For example, if you are down and depressed your facial expression won't fix it. If you don't have any experience with girls and are shy about sex, pretending that you are confident and sexy guy will just look really weird.

Focus on your emotions, meditate, learn to relax. First in your room, then go between people, then around girls and while talking around girls. Relaxation and some positive upbeat will give you the facial expression you are looking for.

Confidence will come with experience. Don't try to pretend that you have lots of sexual experience if you have not. Instead focus on being genuinely interested in that girl, being interested in sex - without being needy or obsessed.

Those are good vibes, and if you can keep good vibes with her she could care less about your facial expression...

Very interesting topic healthstar

I've experimented with having a blank face, and it didn't generate a very good outcome since people asked me why I look so down

Yep, this jives with my experience as well. Often what feels like a neutral facial expression ends up looking down right scary when you catch your reflection in a window as you walk by. I actually had a drunk Indian guy say, "Damn man, you look MEAN!" From that day on, I made a conscious effort to wear a warm facial expression when out in public. This resulted in A LOT more eye contact.

This gets good reactions from women, but I can't (and shouldn't) pull that off to be my default look

Why not? Should you not use confident body language because you don't "feel" confident? Why not then wear a confident smirk even if you don't "feel" confident? People trust confidence, even if you're faking it.

Google image "smirk pics". Notice how the guys look confident, yet warm at the same time. Girls love it. Instead of thinking, "Damn, that hot guy looks like he's about to rip someone's head off, better not look at him", that you get with a neutral face, you get her thinking, "Did that hot guy just smile at me? I better look again to make sure."

The difference was night and day for me once I started doing this.
