    Nope.

    In New York, if you smile or make eye contact with random strangers for no reason, bad things happen. And I'm not even kidding.

    Hmm, I rarely do, but voted occasionally since I have been known to do that at times.

    I never smile without reason. I don't intentionally avoid eye contact, but I'm not exactly going to glare at people to the point they begin to feel uncomfortable.

    I do not smile or make eye contact with strangers. There is a simple reason for not doing so, what if they do not smile back or think you are strange? When you are walking on the street you are not there to socialise with complete strangers. In big cities it is also very difficult, are you going to smile at every single person you see? For me smiling is letting my guard down and I only do that around people I know. Around my friends I smile like a light bulb.

    It is proven that a smile will brighten your day so I will always smile back towards a girl

    I often meet the eyes of a stranger and we both nod our heads respectfully
