What was the last thing you did because of the attractiveness of another person, something that ordinarily you wouldn’t have done? ~

    Pulling out of a restaurant parking lot of a restaurant, I saw a guy standing in front of another restaurant. He had a very attractive-to-me build -- not overly "built" but on the leaner side - -in a T-shirt and jeans, short-cropped hair and wearing sunglasses.

    I had, before the restaurant, been at an exercise class., so being fit was on my mind. 

    I pulled over and got out of my car and walked over to him and told him that I had just been at an exercise class and that I thought he had a great build and that he looked good.
    He took my words in a very appreciative way.

    :)

    Thanks, Merlin. I did give myself a bit of credit for taking a chance.

    Yet, just minutes ago, I sort of got lovingly chastised  --  in a caring way - - by a great friend who told me not to do such things - - he said one of these times I'll get shot or stabbed by a guy, him thinking I was coming on to him.
    Hmm . . . because, in this instance, I admit, it was partly a come-on but what I shared was a sincere compliment, too. He looked great. And the minute or so we talked - - he was incredibly appealing and outgoing, nice.
    And, heck -- his T-shirt said "I Can Go For Hours."
    If he were wearing this T-shirt, I don't think this particular guy would have been offended if he thought I were coming on to him. Ha!

    Hi Welby~ Thank you. It seemed she needed a bit of encouragement.  Her so-called guy friend was not doing a thing for her morale.

    I hear your friends concern but if we live in fear of our fellow man and not share an innocent compliment, what sort of world are we living in?  
    You see someone doing a good deed or who looks good, Tell Them! :):)
    It can change someone's day or outlook in a good way.  If we don't share these things, the world would be filled with nothing but fear, hate and anxiety.  There is already enough of that.
    In a very non-threatening way, you thought the guy looked good.
     
    You made an accquaintance/brief friend, as did he. You remember happily and write about it. He walked away feeling good about himself.

    A quick fun thought is... The next time he wears that shirt, I bet he thinks of You and Smiles! ;) :) This post was edited by Merlin at July 4, 2019 10:12 AM MDT

    Thank you again Merlin.
    I am helped by hearing your words here today. 
    :)

    And, now, for me, what better way to celebrate the Fourth? Mow the lawn. Ha!

    You are always welcome.  You know, you have always had the nicest manners.
    I think we've talked about this before but some people just don't get it.
    They might though, if they read you. 
    Not only will they learn about a HUGE and Wonderful variety of music and movies but also how to treat people.
    Grab your jams and let the the mowing begin!
    Music and Mowing, is a great way to celebrate this day!
    Let's Keep America Green!  Hugs and Loves !!! :) :) :)

    I am Cracking Up!  
    Something I don't normally do when people mention serial killers but... with you, I DO!
    Who?  Trump or Welby's lawn mower?  The lawn mower isn't really killing the grass.  It is giving it a hair cut!! :D!

    Trump fools no one. He is out there with no clothes, Merlie.    

    Now our Welby, I have known for a LONG time?  He is the silent and well-mannered gentleman that you let in your door and ask him to tea.  Isn't he lovely? Then BANG BANK Maxwell's Silver Hammer...  


    HA HAAAA it is fun to imagine such a BIZARRO idea.

    Maxwell's Silver Hammer

    Joan was quizzical; studied pataphysical
    Science in the home.
    Late nights all alone with a test tube.
    Oh, oh, oh, oh.

    Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine,
    Calls her on the phone.
    "Can I take you out to the pictures,
    Joa, oa, oa, oan?"

    But as she's getting ready to go,
    A knock comes on the door.

    Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
    Came down upon her head.
    Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
    Made sure that she was dead.

    Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again.
    Teacher gets annoyed.
    Wishing to avoid an unpleasant
    Sce, e, e, ene,

    She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away,
    So he waits behind
    Writing fifty times "I must not be
    So, o, o, o"

    But when she turns her back on the boy,
    He creeps up from behind.

    Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
    Came down upon her head.
    Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
    Made sure that she was dead.

    P. C. Thirty-one said, "We caught a dirty one."
    Maxwell stands alone
    Painting testimonial pictures.
    Oh, oh, oh, oh.

    Rose and Valerie, screaming from the gallery
    Say he must go free
    (Maxwell must go free)
    The judge does not agree and he tells them
    So, o, o, o.

    But as the words are leaving his lips,
    A noise comes from behind.

    Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
    Came down upon his head.
    Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
    Made sure that he was dead.

    Whoa, oh, oh, oh.
    Silver hammer man

    That's pretty close to the plot of that movie I've talked about so much - - the exceptionally superb 1997 original version of "Funny Games," directed by Michael Haneke.

    Here's Arno Frisch in a gif of a scene -- and he's a very well-mannered gentleman . . . yikes

    EDIT: Oh, the gif is in slow motion

    (Like I've said before on the site, I probably would have gone home with Dahmer if he would have approached me and talked with me and invited me.  In interviews I've seen (in spite of some of the terrible things of which he talked), I find his quiet, unassuming way of talking very appealing. And I find him handsome.)

    A lot of dead gay boys agree with you.  I don't know how I'd feel.  I was VERY vulnerable many times when I was drinking.  I was not even trying to pick someone up, I just had ZERO fear of anyone.  So, why I am alive is GOD, not me.  

    Anyway, I just love this song. It is one of the best Beatles songs because it speaks of John Lennon's insane outlook that mirrored the rest of his fans.  We had black humor like this because we were KIDDING and we were STONED.  LOL

    Most of us were kidding. Then there were the real MAXWELL's like Charles Manson and the unfortunate Dahmer.  


    NOT MY WELBY. I am being RIDICULOUS of course.

  • If you're talking about physical attractiveness, I don't think that would ever prompt me to do anything differently except take a momentary look. It's not something I generally get overly excited about.

    But after that momentary look and a few cocktails to ease the pain, you excitedly begin digging in the bowels of his brain....
    Is this what I am to gather? ;):)

    The other day I was at Old Navy.  This teenager was trying on a top in the dressing room next to me.
    Her boy friend, not boyfriend, or brother, or some one of the same peer age but different gender, was being a real butt to her about trying on clothes.
    He ALSO was trying on clothes, mind you!
    As I walked out of my dressing room, I passed her at the mirror and told her I thought the top fit her well and she looked really cute.

    Her face lit up. She gave a little twirl and said, "You really think so?"  
    "Yes," I said with a smile, "You look great!"

    I made sure they tipped me. 

    I gave them a good massage.  If they can afford to take care of themselves, they can afford to tip me.

    I must be attractive as hell myself, since people actually pay me to TOUCH them.    And it is not even sexual.  That is power, baby.

    Something that I ordinarily wouldn't have done?
    I literally drove into a ditch.  Thankfully, it was a shallow ditch and I was able to drive right out.  But still.

    I swear, I tell myself I need to keep my attention where it needs to be or the same thing will happen to me one of these times I see certain guys along roads/streets. I'm glad you shared, Walt O'Reagun.
