Will you hide your mouth with your hand while laughing?

Hello, Sasalove, I do not have that kind of habit. I think a male to do so is quite weired, anyway, I think good relationship should not be affected by this small thing. Have a nice day and happy mylotting to you.

Sometimes I do, usually when I am in the classroom. It is inappropriate to laugh loudly in the classroom because it could be a form of disrespect to the professor or something. But outside, especially when I am with friends, I tend not to because there is really no harm in laughing out loud. I mean, I could always be myself even in front of other people and if I laugh, I laugh openly.

Hi. I don´t have that habit, but I have my own opinion on that: First, I think some people do that because they are shy. That is a tell... Second, I do believe that many people do that to hide some problem in the mouth, like damaged teeth or lack of some teeth...

no, i love to show my mouth as well as my teeth while laughing. and i dont think that hiden one's mouth behind a hand or handerchief is anythin of grace.

I do hide my mouth with my hands while laughing but the reason is very secret .. that I don't like my teeth..lolx.

I have a guy friend who kind of rolls his hand into a fist with his pinky extended and luaghs we are in a vampire cult I dont know if its a thing of if its just him iv'e only seen like 3 other guys do it and we only do it when we win a a fencing match. Is it strange taht he does that?

My teeth line is not that good. Moreover in my childhood I fell down and lost half tooth so I have broken tooth too. Hence I feel self-conscious and close my mouth while laughing.

I have actually only seen one person do this in real life and it was because she had bad teeth. She felt ashamed of her teeth and didn't want to smile or laugh. I haven't talked to her in awhile so I don't know if she has gotten over the fact her teeth are bad. Perhaps she had them fixed since we last talked.

I won't do that because i don't want to hide my mouth with hand or kerchief .Every body enjoys smiley face.... Some people try to hide their mouth,may be because some conditions like bad smell or droplets fall from his mouth.There are some ,not because of shy.Why should only female hide their mouth.I don't female friend hiding her mouth...

Definitely no. I am man, so this body language belong to women who want to show some manner, so they won't let their mouth open so wide when laughing. You are right, even for women, this is considered to be old fashioned. In the modern day, especially when women want to be freely express their feeling, no more habit like this. Of course, it isn't against the law nor hurting people for men who act like this. Only his macho-O-meter would be reducing :) ( no offense )

Haha,to be honest, i have the habit like that! Fortunatrly, i am a girl. However, i don't like a boy to hide his mouth with his hands while laughing except children. I can't accept it. I fell that way too much like a women to be!

not every time...but sometime.. when i laughed..at someone..for his silly habit..but every time i laughed..without covering my mouth.. because...it's my openeion laughed..at outly...because..it's good for your health..smile is the tonic for every type of tension..

I actually do that when I'm around someone new or someone that I'm attracted to. But I do it because I don't like my teeth. I do have all my teeth and they really aren't that bad of teeth to have. But I do have "big" gums, I have heard of actually getting my gums like burnt back. That's not what it's actually called, but it's just when a dentist basically follows the line where your gums lay over your tooth and basically burn it away so that more of your tooth shows. But anyways, since it's when I'm attracted to someone, it could be just trying to show my innocents also. I've never really gave it much thought. Good discussion starter.

I do that alot. I don't know why I do it I just do. It may be because I am shy person most of the time. It's annoying to other people though. They want to see your smile and you laughing most of the time. Just to make sure your having a good time. I can't do that I try to not do it at times. It's not working for me. I'm cursed! LOL XD

No i dont think that its a bad habit its only differ from person to person Some people dont like laugh in front of other people while showing their all teeth and times if a person have very dirty or odd teeth they use to do it. However its natural in some poeple I also cover my mouth while laughing heavily because my teeth are not so good and when i examined myself in front of mirror it looks really bad

I know a couple of people who do, but they have bad teeth, so I sort of assumed that it was a self conscious thing they were doing. I wouldn't be too concerned about one of my friends doing this, male or female. lol As long as I'm not dating them, they can be as effeminate as they want to be.

This is a good point to bring up. I had never really thought about it before. So many of us cover our mouths with our hands at some point when we are laughing about something. I think it's just a natural reaction. For me., i don't even realize I'm doing it at the time. I would have to add that i can't recall too many males with his habit though. Is it a gender habit invented by females?

I can just imagine how funny it would be if a man laughing with his hands covering the mouth.The first thought comes to my mind is that his gesture is a sign of vomiting.I am a forthright girl and I prefer to laugh with a open mouth.Therefore,I will not hide my mouth while laughing.In my view,laughing out is a way to give vent to our emotions, then we should not hide it.Maybe some elegant ladies would rather laugh gracefully with hands covering their mouths,and that is intelligible.However,when it comes to a strong man,it would be very strange.Overall,I can accept it from female while not male.

that is certainly wierd, especially for a guy. may be someone should tell him that he looks awful and if he understands that girls wouldn't be impressed with that gesture, he might make an effort to get rid of it :)

When I was study in senior school ,I always do like that - smiling and hide my mouth . Do you know why? hehe Because I think it looks like I'm very politely. But after I saw somebody laugh and open their mouth I think I can really know how happy she is. So now I won't do it any more . I will laugh and open my mouth ,and send my happy to you~
