Actually, I can't understand his Russian comment - "Ереванца не нашла? ;)" What is the English translation?

My be not....

Learning to read faces in a foreign countries takes time. In reality the guy could be very nice and kind. For me, for example, many American faces read unemotional, inexpressive and dull, with some exceptions. They are just not very readable to me. Still, after 20 years of leaving here.
This one may not like that you are taking his photo...

Yeah, American faces smiling in a robotic way :))
All this "How can I help you?" and a smile.
Feeling like pressing a button on a talking toy :))

Re: My be not....

[pin_gwin]

Robotic smiling is just a part of much bigger story.

Such "robotic" people are found everywhere now, unfortunately. Too many people have lost all ability to think for themselves.

"Internal dissonance", why?
All men from the Caucasus look aggressive.
It is a part of their culture to present themselves in such a brave way.
It does not mean anything substantial, just a cultural thing, like Russians not smiling.

[peacetraveler22]

"All men from the Caucasus look aggressive..." I do not think so. :)) What does it mean to be "brave?" Probably different things to different people. And the warrior days of the Caucasus are over. The reason for dissonance I explained - I do not like machismos, something repulsive about this male personality type.

I do not think he is brute or violent or smth. like that. It is his bushy brows and burning eyes which make U think so. In fact, he might be as meek as a lamb:)))

[peacetraveler22]

All these dead animals surrounding him probably impacted my perception in a negative way. :)) I do not like bushy brows, but bushy faces are okay. I like beards. :))

[voleala]

eyes don't lie

[peacetraveler22]

Usually, they do not lie. But there are always exceptions. :))

[evalex]

wow :) never thought you are from "victim" type 😃😃😃

[peacetraveler22]

Hello...nice to see you here again! Everyone falls "victim" to the charms of the opposite sex at various points in life, right? I am no exception. :) Though in the case of this man, I mean it in the literal sense - as something deadly based on his menacing look. :))

[evalex]

Yep..yep... I know what you meant.
How should I put this?
Ahhhh, you got aroused :)

[peacetraveler22]

Aroused? No! Dead and skinned animals aren't my idea of a romantic or enticing scene. :))
