"The Glow".
In Mormon women, it's that glassy-eyed stare, when they baby-talk to you, in their little-girl voices. It is very distinctive, in that they can look at you, without really making eye contact with you. Behind their vacant eyes, it seems like nobody's home.
What they say seems scripted, somehow, yet they speak as though they are saying something very profound and sacred.
Their "glowing" smiles are unique, and we refer to it as the upside-down smile, like in the song. It seems affected, because it is not a natural smile, at all. I can't do it, but my daughter can immitate it, perfectly. It's a fake smile, but the corners of the mouth turn downward, the nose crinkles slightly (like it's smelling a bad odor) and the eyes are crinkled up by the nose, externally, but not relaxed and widened and lit-up internally, as in a real smile.
I see no difference in Mormon children; however, I can usually spot children who are being abused.
As for the men--they affect the GA's in all their mannerisms, and there is absolutely nothing that "glows" there. It isn't cool for Mormon men to smile, I guess, and when they do, it is often at the expense of others--backhanded ridicule or sarcasm.
I suppose if you washed a pig and put a white shirt and dark tie on him that he would "glow".
Nah, I think the "glow" is just another thing Mormons made up to prmote themselves.
