What if *RBF'ed*?
I find arrogance to be easy to spot in my opinion however, I do not associate arrogance with well dressed and quiet. One can be arrogant wearing a paper bag and combat boots.
Resting ***** Face.
I find arrogance in the way people talk. I find it next to impossible to see someone as arrogant without hearing what they have to say.
Someone with RBF and reserved could be shy, disagreeable, having a bad day, needing some alone time .....
Oh, I would have never figured that out and I am honestly not real sure what it means or looks like.
That you Hon for taking the time to translate for an old lady.....
It's a look that basically tells people to '**** off' without actually having to say it.
Excellent examples of RBF ... Scarlett O'Hara, Alexis Carrington (Dynasty), Bette Davis, Queen Elizabeth II ... even when they have no facial expression, they still look like they could rip your head off.
I am one of those people that is afflicted with RBF. I am also quiet. I don't think that arrogant is the right word, nor does it matter necessarily how someone is dressed. In the US anyway, society tends to value extroversion. I think that outgoing people don't quite understand those of us that are introverted and may perceive us to be standoffish or unapproachable. I've made more of an effort to smile at people and to speak up and that has helped to show people that I don't bite.
I'm quiet and NOT well-dressed and have been accused of being arrogant. I honestly have no clue how people get that idea just because I don't burble all over them.
I'm very reserved and always have been, mostly well dressed, but just depends in where I'm going. Here in the Deep South, being reserved sort of goes against Southern "friendliness". I've never been called arrogant, but I have been called "weird" and "stuck up". I'm not a big smiler either, I'm not unhappy, I just don't see a reason to smile so much.

I preferred being seen as standoffish and unapproachable since that is what I am. Maybe I do bite.
I don't make any effort to smile any more than I make an effort to be more extroverted. Smiling is reserved for when I feel happy. Introverts do make up half of the population so why should we try to act like extroverts by smiling in order to make strangers feel comfortable?
