The expression “It takes more muscles to frown than to smile” if that is true, why do we seem to frown more than smile, considering it takes fewer muscles to smile?
In: Biology
“Number of muscles used” isn’t really the deciding factor in whether we do things. People have all sorts of idle actions that use muscles, such as tapping your foot, drumming your fingers, or jiggling your leg while sitting down.
Another question to be asking is, is it *actually* true that people overall frown more than smile? It probably varies a lot from person to person.
