Let's debate friends!

What’s more terrifying: a dom who smiles sweetly… or one who says nothing?
 
Smiles sweetly - the anticipation of trying to figure out what idea has made them smile, especially if you were sassy immediately prior!
 
I would say silence and a more stoic facial expression is definitely something that would make me feel a bit more concerned or scared. Just in my experience those are the Dom's that will go a bit further with some things
 
Defiantly the smile, the stuff afterword's could be worse from someone else, but seeing that little hint of a smerk at an idea they have had has an impact all of its own.... eekkkk
 
I think a smile implies some fun is in store, but a blank stare is more "i'm not angry, just disappointed" and that's just actually painful.
 
Definitely the "says nothing" one - I assume this means no smile, no expression, no indication of thought process or intent.
When I know someone I learn what their body language means, and seeing them "smile sweetly" gives me at least a vague idea of what is going on, but if they remain stoically poker-faced, that is when my own creative juices get the better of me, painting all kinds of pictures in my mind. It is truly terrifying!

On a personal note, there is this mental state, and meditation technique employed when one has to perform at a level beyond speed of thought, involving freeing of doubt, hesitation, and pesky interference from conscious thought into what is instinct, trained action, muscle memory. This is something I practiced many times with a mentor who was very big on mental imagery. This particular state of free-floating action - free from fear - is what was reinforced by the mantra "stop thinking, smile sweetly, knowingly" - so you see, I cannot be afraid when someone smiles like that - I smile too and am ready to dance.
 
I won't say either are scary upon themselves. Its about WHY they smile or are silent.
