TABOO TRUTHS

“Blondes are noticed but redheads are never forgotten.”-Unknown

“Gentlemen may prefer blondes, but it takes a real man to handle a redhead.”

You can sleep with a Blonde..you can sleep with a Brunette..BUT you will never get ANY sleep with a REDHEAD!

“Men who do not fancy redheads should take a vacation on a funny farm! Redheads are so clean and beautiful that they should have their own museum.”

“The sun on a brunette’s hair looks red. The sun on a redhead’s hair looks like Heaven on Earth.”

“Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall in love with a gorgeous redhead!”-Lucille Ball

“I am strong. I am invincible. I am redhead.”-T-shirt

“When red headed people are above a certain social grade their hair is auburn.”-Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court

“It’s not the hair that turns men on, it’s the spirit that redheads exude.”

“I just love redheads with gentle curls, draped around a long white neck. Fair skin on a redhead is very sexy,although I like freckles as well. Damn! Redheads are just, well, you know–the best.”

“The attraction to redheads is a lot like being addicted to drugs.”

“Men who do not fancy redheads should take a vacation on a funny farm! Redheads are so clean and beautiful that they should have their own museum.”

“Redheads are a spiritual thing. They are just simply superior.”

“Fire on the head, fire in bed!”

Good boys get Blondes.. Naughty boys get Redheads…

Who out there appreciates the woman who fashions red?

Today is my day!  (Well, mine and my nephew Parker Cook’s that is.  Happy Birthday lil Angel!)  As the years go by this 24 hour period seems less unique.  Maybe it’s because I don’t reside near my family (who finds every reason to party!), maybe it’s because I have no significant other currently or maybe it’s due to the focus being on what was instead of what will be.  Whatever the case may be, birthdays are a call for reflection.

This year I’ve decided to start a list of things I desire to do in my life.  Big and small…a “bucket list” of sorts.  As the days pass I will add to this list and hopefully, mark some completed!

-European Trip with my girls

-Take my girls to a tropical beach and sit our asses in the sand doing NOTHING!

-Order and enjoy a bottle of Dom Perignon!

-Visit Times Square

-Wine trip to Napa Valley

-Finish my book

-Fulfill my daughters higher learning financial responsibilities

-Be in love, feel safe and get married (if fate permits…)

-Own another Great Pyrenees

-Go on another sister exclusive vacation

-Finish reading two more books in the category of “classics” (Maybe Wuthering Heights and Taming of the Shrew!)

-Visit the Greek Isles

-Spend 10 days in Germany with our relatives

-Learn to speak Italian (Ciao!)

-Meet Neil Schon and Steve Perry

…more to come. (maybe after some Champagne….)

The recent topic of conversations is about a new study titled  The Mere Anticipation of an Interaction with a Woman Can Impair Men’s Cognitive Performance. The study basically states that a mans basic communication or “intelligence” becomes compromised when interacting with an attractive woman.  Even when presented through digital means!  The study purposely addressed the reaction of men, even when they knew there was no physical interaction.  The result, men’s cognitive interactions were not at their best.

These studies are, in my opinion, an opportunity to open conversations.  Most studies of this nature have an extremely limited number of individuals in subject group and take place in a distant location like…the Netherlands!  But I do enjoy listening to the banter justifying whether the findings of such a study are true or even relevant.  You get the hyper male personas who discuss the primal aspects of the male brain for species survival.  Then on the radical opposite end you get the table banging feminist who find the study a joke, lumping all men into a single persona and using our “wilds” for unjust reasons.  Personally, I wouldn’t argue with either direction.

My experience?  When interacting with a man digitally the conversation can be drastically different if he has been exposed to my image.  I think communication between men and woman is definitely effected if each is aware of the others attractiveness.  Without this information my interactions are no different than with anyone I may encounter.  I communicate with men on a daily basis through business.  Before meeting me or seeing my image the conversations are what I would categorize as normal.  But then again…I’m a woman!  Meaning there may be small nuances that escape my notice.  To be completely honest, I doubt it!  I’m a woman beyond the age of 40 and having had my fair share of interactions with men through most communication means…I can definite “pick up” when the conversation takes a turn. I suppose ignorance is possible.

So here’s the real question I’d like to ask.  If this study has a thread of truth and as a woman you agree with the prospect of altering a man’s cognitive performance…have you ever used this to your advantage?
