The dreaded 37% rule from optimal stopping theory strikes again! This is mathematical torture disguised as career advice. In decision theory, if you're selecting the best candidate from a pool (like dating or hiring), you should theoretically reject the first 37% of options to establish a baseline, then pick the next candidate that exceeds all previous ones. The facial expression perfectly captures that existential crisis moment when you realize you're part of the "exploration phase" - mathematically destined to be rejected regardless of qualifications. The probability gods have spoken, and they chose violence.
