The essence of attraction.

We figure that the mental block has now been broken. We have started walking again, seeing as it is getting a little warmer, and we have both made the startling realisation that we have become a little fatter, and have found out that it really does stimulate your brain. (You see, most of our theories have been established after we have done a walk).

So on this particular occasion - sadly, it is a Friday night - we got thinking about the types of guys we are attracted to, and how everyone seems to have a "type" that they go for. Now we know that the pub is not the best place to pick-up somebody, but would be the best example we could give of major picking-up in action. In our promiscuous society we have learned that there is a lot of competition out there, and to find somebody you are actually attracted to and incidently like, and to also have these feelings reciprocated, is extremely difficult. It can be devastating to anyone to be rejected by somebody for someone else who is "bubblegum" hot (something we could best describe as short skirt, high heels that can't be walked in, could be mistaken for gaol bait).

Back to the "type" issue, we find it funny how we have different attractions to different traits and attributes. For example, our friend who we shall name for privacy purposes as "Hansel", typically goes for girls who are skinny and blonde. Our other friend, "Gretel", goes for guys who have green eyes, dark hair, and are classified as "nice". It is quite amazing the way our minds and bodies work, for the fact we have this attraction to a certain type of person. (Can't quite remember what they said about the comparison to moths and humans and scents... any ideas?)

On a lighter and completely random note, we also wonder how different our nights out would be if we were actually honest to the people we speak to. Observe the following:

1. "Would you mind if I kissed you?" - Well seeing as I have been talking to you all night, and have probably lost any chance that I have of picking up your hot friend in the yellow shirt, why not?

2. "Hi, can I buy you a drink?" - Of course you can. You can also buy my friend one, and I just wanted to let you know that you have absolutely no chance of going home with me later.

3. "Can you tell me who your friend is over there?" - Well I don't wish to answer that question, because obviously I'm not good enough for you, and you don't seem to have the balls to go talk to her [him] yourself.

4. "You are the most beautiful person in here." - Of course you are going to say that because you are desperate to get laid. I appreciate your honesty though.

5. "Do you come here often?" - Actually yes I do, although I'm considering changing venues seeing as I keep on attracting people such as yourself.

6. "So, what's your sign?" - Aquarius. Now fuck off weirdo.

Alternatively, if you actually like the person, you could answer all of the above with:
"I think that you and I should go back to my place immediately so we can shag all night long."
