I breathe air...

So, what the fuck. I heard somewhere over the past few days that a [woman] determines within 5 seconds of meeting someone, whether or not she's interested. Well, that's fine and dandy, but don't we all do that? I mean really? If you can pay attention to your signs/signals, AT ALL, if you are not totally oblivious, don't you know pretty damn quick if you like someone? I do. Call me shallow, I don't really care, but there are some people I am simply not interested in being with, based solely on how they present themselves as a person. I think that's human nature, judging by what we see, within the first few seconds. We have to. It's instinctive. I think it calls back to those days when we were fending for ourselves, not knowing where the next meal was coming from, always wary of waring bands of other humans or wild beasts... we had to make quick, often snap judgments based sometimes on not very much knowledge at all. Ok, have no idea whatsoever, but it sounds like a decent theory. Bottom line, you have person X, maybe that person is wearing horn-rimmed glasses and parts his or her hair on one side and wears a scarf. Still could be talking about a man or a woman, technically. Especially these days. But maybe you dig that sort of look, maybe you don't - either way, you will know literally within seconds of seeing this person. If you dig that, then you move on to the next step. If not, there is no point in a next step. Now this person may have been trying something totally new, maybe this is the first time he or she has ever sported this particular look, and you've just judged them based on that. Oh well, that's a chance we take. And I'm not saying you shouldn't take the time to get to know this person and see what he or she has to offer. Because people can be interesting in all shapes and forms. But I do maintain, as far as physical/emotional/mental/spiritual attraction - yes you can absolutely decide that within seconds, whether you are man or woman. Men also have intuition. It isn't like women only got intuition and men only got physical strength. I know people of both genders who disprove that theory. Strong women, intuitive men, etc. It's a human thing, not a man or woman thing. It all depends on how sentient someone has become and how open they have allowed themselves to be with regards to interaction in their world.

You know, the funny thing is, women say they want men to be honest, blah blah blah - no they don't. They want men to tell them what they want to hear. Trust me, I get enough "propositions" from women to whom I am not attracted, that I know they do not appreciate the honest approach.
