“If you got it flaunt it, but if you don’t, move your ass with class.”
Humans unlike other living creatures share a unique common trait; instead of merely picking objects, they compare. They look closely at (two or more people/things) in order to decide which one is more attractive or more valuable.
Your wingman (or wing gal) should never outshine you.
If you are not a “looker’, you might try to recruit somebody (maybe an over-the-hill stripper) to accompany you on your social forays and make you look good by comparison.
If you are short, you should not be seen with a tall person.
If you are fat, you should not associate with a skinny creature.
If you are flat chested, you should not pal around with an over-endowed ingénue.
Unless… You can outshine the competition with a killer trump card.
Even a great looking guy will be no match for a chap with a razor sharp wit.
In Cyrano de Bergerac, good-looking Christian got Roxane, but in reality Roxane would have dumped dim-witted Christian for intellectually superior Cyrano.
By the same token, if you are a classic female beauty, you might not prevail over a skinny contortionist who can twist and bend her body into strange and intriguing positions (there are kinky thoughts in all of us my friends).
To compete, nerds have to try harder, and they usually do. To succeed they have to hustle. And maybe that’s why you see so many tattoos and rings nowadays.
Ear ring, nose ring, lip ring, nipple ring, unmentionable rings…
The ring is the hook. It is a conversation piece.
Let me take you home and show you my nipple rings.,,
Who could resist to such a tantalizing invite?
But seriously, be aware that you are continuously evaluated and compared to your peers.
On the other hand, you could also say: Screw it! Let me be me. Like beer, I am an acquired taste. Try me, you might like me.
