Werrrrk.

I just recovered from a booze-filled weekend spent with some of the best friends around. And you know what lesson I got out of it (besides vodka+water makes for a great anti-hangover drink)?

Exuding happiness and general elation for the moment makes you *gasp* attractive to the opposite sex!

Perhaps it’s not so much a revelation as it was super interesting to see unfold before my eyes. See, I majored in the study of people and cultures and all things social so this shit fascinates me. Here I was at a brunch club for my girlfriend’s birthday. Everyone walking in and out of the doors were major players in my city’s social scene. Think along the lines of industry people all coming out to play the only day they could: Sunday afternoon with the sun a-blazing. We’re talking Hottie McHothots errwhere. Every person there is eye candy that makes your loins growl at every glance. Now I could’ve easily went into self conscious mode and mentally bemoan every flaw I have for every perfect pair of tits or legs that walked by. But fuck it, if I’m there and the music’s bumping I’m going to enjoy the hell out of St. Patrick’s Day. And that I did.

Here’s the bonus: I went home that day with great memories and a handful of random text messages from numbers I did not save in my inebriated state. The guys I do not care for but it’s the fact that out of this whole place slammed with people who were far more ‘hot’ or ‘sexy’ by society’s standards, these guys noticed me. Sure, one could say that these guys probably hit on everyone in that place. However let this be a lesson for the girls who say “Oh I neverrrrr meet anyone.” or “Guys don’t notice me!!”. The secret lies in the very fact that you need to enjoy yourself first before anyone else could even fathom having a fun time with you. Literally and figuratively depending on what dating mindset you’re in right now. So WEEERRRRRRRRRRRK IT GIRLS & GUYS!

(Oh, and this works too)
