This discussion is really interesting. You all bring up such great points.
It's made me wonder...am I the only one who thinks that most of the alien *women* we've seen in SGA show very little emotion? Sora showed a whole range. But Chaya, Teer, and Teyla have such excellent poker faces that often I can't tell if they're feeling anything. They don't give any of it away and they're the major alien women who've interacted with John. Okay, the blonde girl in Tower showed a LOT of emotions but she's the only non-Earthling John has kissed who showed much.
Yes, I think Elizabeth has shown a lot of emotion--but not a full range in front of John, and she's not alien so I'm not really counting her.
There've been other alien females on the show that seemed almost wooden they were so reserved. Marin, is one.
I don't know what my point is, except that maybe that's how some of the actresses decided to show the "alien" quality of the characters--ala Mr. Spock.

Am I completely misreading that?
