Kitty tell us the best best way to talk to women http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/People_and_Places/Question114980.html
This was the purpose of that thread
something interesting going on here... RacingLover posted a query asking women what they wanted, and they briskly told him that it couldn't possibly be answered because women were different, so all women didn't want the same thing. Yet here we have contributors agreeing equally briskly that all women hate being told to cheer up.
RacingLover may be getting his answer - one phrase at a time.
Not one I've ever used, but I can say that it is either used to impress a lady (yes we blokes really are that daft thinking a line like that would work) or to get a laugh from your own mates.
You must remember that anyone using this particular approach has probably reached the 'merry' stage of the evening and wants everyone to be as happy as them, but I suspect KittyG that the guy who said this to you was past merry and on to aggressive.
some men use it as an opening line; eliciting a smile is the first step to coitus. it can be seen as a way to force a woman to present herself social, first by smiling (at, or as a response to the direction in, the opener) - echoes here of the (outdated, yeah, right) idea that men see lone women in places such as pubs as presenting themselves as "cannon" (ahem) fodder... naturally, the biological imperative drives men to connect in whatever way possible, and in this way it's an alternative to "Penny for your thoughts, dear...?"; a natural inclination to be inquisitive and break the irritating solitude of another in thought, combined with a need to storm other, more animal, defences. In the quest for an intimacy only different by degrees (some would say).
I don't think we can get past the idea that this is essentially an attempt to make inroads of one sort or another. Clearly it isn't an inbuilt function of men try to enforce the ostensible improvement of women's mental states, though this doesn't preclude the idea that there are such men...
lame line, essentially.
