-The comic literally states that he should smile more and that is a demand on how he should be. If he wanted to smile he would.

-The angry face is a thing that I acknowledged and agreed with, and said I had experience with in my first comment. Please re-read for better comprehension.

-My sentence"...even if just in passing" implies the inclusion of someone who you may not otherwise interact with. Strangers who talk to you are inherently in a more intimate category than strangers who don't talk/interact to you.

-Saying that the people in the situations given are in positions akin to predator and prey is an apt analogy. It is not saying someone turns into a bear and the other a fish. There are many shifts of power during conversations and not acknowledging the natural and situational power dynamics does everyone a disservice.

I never once said that someone's looks were the reason they were the predator/prey in a situation.

"If you like X you should visit Y, you'd probably really like it"

"How dare you demand I visit Y!"

LOL
