Despite the fact that becoming bespectacled managed to fool the world and prevent them from realising that Clark Kent was in fact Superman, glasses do not actually give you super powers.
That's right, I'm talking to the intellectuals who believe that by putting on their sunglasses, I won't be able to see them staring at me. Whilst I appreciate that your world has become slightly darker, you are still very much visible to the rest of us.
I met an ex through a mutual friend at a birthday dinner. Shortly after we started dating, he admitted that if he saw an attractive woman in public, he would probably approach her to get her number. Once I had been convinced that this was not a good enough reason to end the relationship (he would provide many more at a later date), I started to think that he may have a point.
If you don't approach people that catch your eye, how else can you take it any further?
Whilst I do judge people who pick up randoms on the street, I've done some questionable things myself. I never pursue the object of my attention, but I am not above internet stalking to get a fix. I even went on www.192.com in an attempt to find Idris Elba's home address. Luckily for him, I was too cheap to pay for access to the information.
On one occasion (many years ago), I encountered the most beautiful man I had ever seen (at that time). I knew that chances were that I would never see him again so I wanted a lasting momento. I asked my friend to stand next to him (but slightly in front) and pretend to strike a pose. While she was voguing away, I took a picture of the Adonis.
I recently saw a handsome doctor and found that I was suddenly in perfect health as he asked me how I was doing. Once I realised that he was doing his job rather than flirting (thanks a lot Joey from Friends), I did a 180 and told the truth. Unfortunately, my bipolar approach did nothing for my appeal.
Whilst this post may read like I am man hungry, I am actually quite the opposite. It is easier to get into the Pentagon than it is to get my number.
I just find it interesting trying to figure out what makes certain things acceptable. For example, I once went to a phone shop to upgrade my phone (shock!). One of the workers took it upon himself to make a note of my number (without my consent) and contacted me later. After I logged my complaint with the manager of the store, I hung up and realised that if it had been his cuter colleague that contacted me, there probably wouldn't have been a problem.
So what can I take away from this pondering? That if you're hot, you can pretty much get away with anything.
