What Would YOU Say

What Would YOU Say

I just read an
article bythe funny andinsightfulCody Delistratythat blew me away.
But first… I had
coffee last week with a gentleman. He asked me what I thought was my most
attractive feature.
Wait! What would
you say?
Is your first
reaction your hair, your nails, your eyes, your cleavage? Smile, laugh, bubbly
personality? Fierce resolve, courage, loyalty?
Or is your first
reaction one of puzzlement? Uh… I need to lose five pounds, dye my hair, get a
pedi? (Oh, wait, those were my reactions.)
But this guy was
serious. He wasnt looking for a run-down on what was wrong with me. He was
genuinely curious.So I looked him
in the eye, and I told him the truth. “I think my answer will surprise you.”
“Fine. I want to
hear it.”
“My confidence.”
He nodded slowly.
Clearly the answer wasnt what he was expecting. But he agreed that he liked that about me.
Over the last
year, Ive gone through a lot, maybe you have, too, change of jobs, loss of a
relationship, and now, a potential move is on the horizon.
Instead of
allowing the breakup to affect my confidence, I decided that I was one step
closer to living life more fully on my terms. (So, okay, there were plenty of
tears and long-distance calls to my friends and family, but I made it through.)
So, when I read
Delistraty's article, I was dancing around going, YES! Thats it! In his intriguing post, Delistraty talks about the thirteen things men think about women but never
say, and I loved what he had to say.My favorites? “Dont
stress. We think youre hot. Thats why were with you.”

Oh, and,
swoon-worthy words? “Its an odd occurrence, but personality and confidence
make a woman physically sexier.”
So, Im
wondering what would YOU say if asked what your sexiest feature is.Hey, and Cody, thanks,
for number seven, as well.After what you said about how to order a martini, I no longer feel fussy,
but empowered when I walk into Starbucks and say, “Iced grande, six pump, extra
ice chai tea, latte, please.”
I urge you to
read this article and see how real men think. Thanks for the great read!
