>>53271505Honestly yeah? It's sort of associated with arrogance to deliberately try and do it.
Like there are tutorials on how to smolder at girls. Most men who do that "effectively" have it as their resting face. So yeah in real life it's just an alternate term for a smug face
In media it usually either conveys confidence in a situation that is awkward for someone else or a character who "thinks" theyre confident.
Take the movie Tangled for instance. Flin says he's gonna Smoulder, makes a goofy face, and then remains trapped to a chair
