Answer 3

Personaly, I agree with that statement because when you smile, it's a really light emotion and it's happy, so that makes it need less muscle. However, when you frown, your sad, and you use more muscle because it has more emotion plus it's a heavier feeling, which makes it need more muscle.

Dude, I'm sorry to say this but shouldn't this question be in the 'biology' section, I'm not what this has to do with Sociology. Unless there's a connection that I can't see...

Answer 5

yes it's true

Most scientists agree that it takes more muscles to smile than to frown, but the figures vary significantly. Some say that it takes 30 muscles to frown, but only 17 to smile, and some say that it takes 4 muscles to smile and 20 to frown.
