Routine day, queue long, people chatter, heads down reading texts thoughtful looking forward waiting soon sorted Appearance, first subtle scent, light consuming Presence just to the side, smart formal suited skirt booted, expensive Keep looking forward, peripheral sight still seeing don't react safe looking forward She moves forward now clear vision to the right, knowing sensing, waiting Graceful power, drawing eyes moving She knows you're seeking a look A second you see Her She knows, slight smile, She has you, She's caught you Look away quickly hoping but knowing, She turns slowly towards you head elevated Eyes looking down at you, pleasure disdain, knowing you're lower She moves away still smiling knowing....... you're owned!
When I was 14 years old a knockout lady caught my attention while my dad, 52, also noticed her. My dad and I were shopping at the supermarket, a rare occurrence. My dad said, “She sure is beautiful, but don’t try to sneak a look. Let me show you how it’s done.” I thought to myself first of all, that my dad was much too old to be attracted to a young 30 ish woman and secondly, What would he know? We figured out where she would turn her basket and aligned so we would meet her face to face before we passed in the isle. When we were about 15 feet and closing my dad looked her in the eyes and said, “You look really nice today.” She smiled, stepped from behind her shopping basket, picked up the sides of her dress, and twirled around 360 degrees, and said, “Thank you! You made my day!” We resumed our courses, passing beside each other. I could not believe why had just happened. I asked my dad if he already knew her and he said no and that he had never seen her before. He told me the secret and it is one of those universal truths. I still find it difficult to fathom, but I am now 66 and his words still ring true.
Your story reminded me of an experience I had just yesterday at the grocery store. I had noticed a young woman--very cute. A little later in the produce area, quite by accident, we ended up next to each other. I smiled, she smiled back.... such a lovely smile. Wow, how nice. An image of her in her tattered jeans and animal print top will be in my head for a few days.
Interesting anecdotes. I wonder if in today's climate, proffering compliments will be seen as acts of micro aggression. Those of us who have committed our lives to Female devotion, may soon be considered misogynists and offensive. I do hope common sense prevails, as genuine deference to Females really is an act of extreme sacrifice. I just hope our legacy od devotion inspires younger males to be the best they can be.
Funny that no one asked what my dad’s secret protocol was. As he explained to me the secret is the use of the word “today”. Eye contact is important. Speaking directly to the beauty is important. The choice of the words “You look nice.” Is important, but it is imperative that the entire sentence, “You look nice today.” Be wait in it’s entirety. For some reason I have yet to understand that phrase is non threatening and the lady will almost always step out and forward and give you a better look. According to my dad this is the time, the only time, for ogling. I asked my dad where he had learned that and he said he learned it from his dad. Dad died 5 years ago and I miss him dearly. He shared much wisdom with me.
Sounds like you had a really special relationship there. I preferred the days when it really was ok to offer compliments without fear.
I do find the the younger generation Women to have such a Superior air about themselves. Unconscious energy do you think?
Nope. They’re young and you’re not. That’s where the energy comes from. Deal with it! (There’s an old saying - youth and vitality will always defeat age and wisdom. The older I’ve gotten the more true it seems)
I do remember seeing a young girl in a shop and I could I tell she had put an effort into getting dressed, so I said you look very nice today and she had a smile like a Cheshire Cat and she said thank you, that small comment made all the difference plus it made my day as well.
