What is attraction?

If you’re not incredibly, really good-looking, are you screwed?

Ye—NO!

A half ass ye because. . .

I believe that we live in an extraordinarily superficial society, where most people are going to appreciate beauty before anything else. It seems that if you’re not “beautiful,” it’s a bit harder for you to achieve things that are easier for stereotypically good-looking people to get.

I think that people should be mature and thoughtful enough at this point to not only look at people for their apparent good looks, but also their energy, presentation, and intentions. All of this can be deciphered by one look, but since people only take the time to give ½ a look at people, they don’t see the beauty in others who don’t necessarily look like Rihanna or Cindy Crawford.

NO - because. . .

Initial attraction is based on looks, but I believe it’s also based on clothes, energy, and intentions.

But when a guy, who isn’t even that good-looking, goes straight for the gorgeous girl that he won’t get instead of looking at the pretty girl with a cute smile, you wonder what does it take? What is it that the opposite sex notices, first? What is attraction?

Attraction is one of those things that’s most definitely is relative. I don’t think that you can really put a rule or explanation on what attracts people to each other. I think that all you can do is be yourself and I’ve noticed that with all the questions and doubts we have, the answer is always the same; don’t be completely consumed with what others feel or think about you. Love yourself and others will follow.

Because attraction is based on looks and aura, it’s important to take care of yourself and have a happy, healthy soul. If we learn to live life and create a positive energy, not matter what you like, people will be drawn to you.

Technology Takeover

One thing that drives me crazy about technology is that as humans we get lazy. I appreciate technology when pretty flat screen TV’s come out and . . . well that’s about it. I’ve gotten hooked to computers but it was a long process. When typing papers became a norm, I was actually enough of a dork to miss writing things out in pen and giving it personality (plus I have nice handwriting). When mp3 players came out, I held on to my CD player until 2006, and greatly admire the endangered CD players that have managed to survive until 2008.

I’m not going to sit and rant against something that I use daily, but I feel that technology has taken the personality and effort out of everything, especially in America, but I’ll get to the American thing later. Before you had to go to library and read several books to get a good concrete paper, now everyone goes to wikipedia or google search. And what effort does that require? What do you get out of it? I mean when everything has been simplified to a few keys, what happens to the books, and what happens to knowledge? Is that left for the dying few that care enough to research in the library and not the internet? But I can’t blame the individual; society is also to be blamed.

With technology America above all other countries has changed its lifestyle. Instead of “oh, we can do a paper in one hour and then go watch a movie or go to a paartay,” it’s more like “yeh, I finished one paper in an hour, now I can write 5 other ones for tomorrow.” We don’t take advantage of the fact that we can do things easily, but instead we take on more responsibility. More,and MOre, and MORe, and MORE!

In the movie, Infamous, Sandra Bullock, who plays famed author Harper Lee, says, “America is not a country where the small gesture goes noticed, we’re not a country like France where charm, something light or evanescent can survive. We want everything you have, and we want it as fast as you can turn it out.” This is exactly the problem with technology, there’s never enough time to appreciate the product until a new and improved one comes out. Every time we get something, we’re just waiting for the next big thing. I know that consumerism drives America, but do we even appreciate how far we’ve come? I don’t think so, I don’t think we see our advancement as a leisure, but as a given.

I love America for its availability and advancement, but I admire other countries, like France, for its strong appreciation of life. I guess as much as I love the accessibility, I would prefer to savor life. I rather write letters than write emails, and sip wine instead of soda. I think that we, as a people, need to stop and smell the roses, appreciate life and not get caught up in all the hype.

I wish it was easy to say that I could stop in the middle of all the chaos, but the truth is that in America you have to be up to speed. If you stop and smell the roses, you get left behind. So, it’s not about the individual, but as a society we need to take action and create a movement where advancement doesn’t dictate our lives, but we create a balance between enjoying life and progression.

Entice, Don’t Fight

Do you think that by constantly telling your boyfriend about the excessive time he spends on the internet is going to make him stop doing it? Well, think again. Although it’s good to be open and honest, with guys you can only take it so far. They just have a short attention span and aren’t very patient. So, I call on you to use your feminine wile. Men never listen to what we say and actions do speak louder than words.

We might not notice it, but we women always have to talk about everything! And don’t get me wrong, talking is great, but everything doesn’t merit a talk just because it bugs you, sometimes you have to use ingenuity. There’s a reason why Eve convinced Adam to eat the apple and why King Henry VIII divorced his Queen for Anne Boleyn, and that reason is women’s power to seduce and conquer. Seduction doesn’t necessarily have to be sexual, but just find ways instead of words to have your partner do your bidding.

Example: You walk in and your man barely notices you when you walk in because he’s glued to the computer, instead of saying, “You see! You never pay attention to me,” try saying, “Hey Babe, I brought you some of your favorite cookies. Come to the couch so that we can have some cookies and milk.” Then top it off with a kiss and an enticing sample of a neck massage.

Guys respond better when you’re not nagging; for some reason, talking gives men a headache. So use your charm to get your way, it’ll avoid an argument and you’ll both be happy.

To Spy or Not To Spy

To be or not to be – That is the question.
Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer.
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing, end them.

                                                                                                                                    Hamlet 3.1.64-68

To be a spy or not to be a spy–That is truly the question. The internet has created a new area of privacy and secrets that were once subject to phones, letters and person-to-person interaction. With these new boundaries, new forms of jealousy and anxieties have arisen. Because of the internet we are less informed about what our partners are doing and who they’re talking to. This can cause insecurities because you have no idea what your partner’s doing and hence you feel compelled to spy and invade their privacy, which you shouldn’t do.

Why? Well, besides it being illegal, it causes more trust issues. Your partner becomes more private, withdrawn, and resentful because their privacy has been threatened and you have clearly shown a huge lack of trust. Spying is also all consuming and bits of information won’t let you rest. It’s better to just let things go because eventually everything always comes to light. The same way that love is blind, you should trust blindly. So, ‘tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune because once you take arms against a sea of trouble that your mind has fabricated, you can only come out the loser.
