So, I think I might have passed the point of obsession with Mr. Spencer Barrick. I listened to a podcast interview he did with Girls On Porn. I love the tagline of “the good GOP”. Come on, you know that’s funny. If you are reading this, you are most likely not a Republican…
So, this was just a standard interview with questions about how he got started and all of that. But, holy shit… I haven’t listened to all of his interviews cause that would be stalkerish which I’m not. And I want to space them out to savor them individually. Nevermind…
OK, yes, the interview. It can be found here: Girls on Porn – Romantic with Damon Dice on Stitcher. Although I don’t think that title is accurate. That interview was all Spencer Barrick. He was personable, intelligent, down to earth, good humored, etc. Combine that all together and it was hot. Like volcano hot. And that was just listening to his voice over an internet link. I shudder to think what it would be like to have been in the same room. Wow! I need a few deep breaths…
Is there anything sexier than an intelligent guy with a sense of humor? Well, an intelligent guy with a sense of humor and smells good is pretty high up there on the sexy scale. But it’s hard to determine if he smells good or not from a podcast. And it might be a little awkward to attempt to sniff someone after meeting them. Assuming I ever get that close, I’ll have to figure out how to do that subtlety.
Ok, I am going to bring up the other article that had a positive impact on my approach to how I am living my life. It’s 8 Easy Steps To Become More Attractive – P.S. Good Times (psgoodtimes.com) I think easy might be a matter of perspective, but at least they are broken down into very doable steps.
- Make Direct Eye Contact – Got this. Studies show that 85% of what we communicate is done with body language before we even say anything. I agree this is very important.
- Wear Clothes That Highlight Your Body Shape – I think this is a challenge, especially for woman. Advertising and other social influences will try to sell a certain look that just doesn’t work for everyone. Personally, I like to be sure that I have pretty and sexy bras and underwear. Makes me smile even if no one can or will see it. Although I have to admit that I have a habit of wearing mens jeans because they seem to last longer. Recently, I actually bought some womens jeans. Now just need to get up the courage to wear them.
- Spend More on Scents and Oral Hygiene – Can’t disagree with this either. I would caution to be sure that you don’t take the scent too far. Folks want to be able to smell you when you are close, not a few feet away. And if your teeth are clean, you feel more confident to smile.
- Hydrate More and Put on Some Sunblock – And another obvious tip and very easy to do. Just need to not allow yourself to become swayed by the glowing tan ideal that is used to sell so many things. Got this handled. Also, who doesn’t like the smell of sunblock in general. Reminds me of the ocean and beach and sun and shirtless men. Need I really say more?
- Always Say Hello – This tip is interesting as the workforce has moved to more telecommuting options and less in person interactions. I think that greeting folks over a conference call is even more significant than in the past. I also try to use someone’s name, if I can remember it. And smile!
- Invest in Your Shoes – Ok, this one makes me chuckle. I know that I look at shoes cause I just like them, but do men really check out other men’s shoes? Or women’s? I’ve always heard that you should take care of your feet, but wear cool shoes to get attention is a new one. But, if the person that wrote this checks out shoes like I do, they might just be my soulmate.
- Be the Challenge People Want – I can completely understand this. Folks will appreciate someone\something more if they have to earn\work for it. This also shows that you have confidence in yourself. And honestly, who doesn’t like to be chased a little now and then. Not down the street, but you know what I mean. Who doesn’t want to feel appreciated and valued?
- Cultivate a Sense of Humor – So very true. Laughing is good for the soul and relieves stress. Although I would caution to be careful with self-deprecation humor. Lots of things can be funny without someone feeling uncomfortable.
Similar to the first article, I like this one because it makes things sound achievable for everyone. And puts things in categories that make it easy to tackle them. If it is true that it only takes 3 weeks to change a habit permanently, than both the articles on the PS Good Times site seem like a good place to start. And I am on a good track to be making some good changes.
