A Korean saying even goes, “He who smiles a lot is not a real man.”
I think there might be analogous feelings in the US, though. Consider the too-toothy smarm of a used-car salesman or the almost incessant rictus of a born-again convert. The former is ingratiating and the latter rather glassy around the eyes, but both hold the common trait of smiling far, far too much.
