Woman On A Mission . . .

I don't know about any of you ladies but when I see an attractive guy whether it be walking down the street, on the bus or in a cafe my whole entire body language and facial expressions change!

Whilst I was on the train yesterday, I caught myself completely changing my body language and facial expressions and ... I couldn't stop!!!

A gorgeous hunk of a man got on the train and sat on a seat facing me and I could see him a tiny bit. When I saw him, I immediately adjusted my position, sat up straight and starting doing this weird half smile/half pout thing which no normal human being ever does! Why on earth did I start doing this now?!

I moved so he could see just half my face and every now and then I looked up and made eye contact just for a few seconds. I was like a male peacock puffing up to attract their lady suiters. Why, why, why do I do this. Is it just me?

It got me thinking and I have realised that every time I see an attractive guy I start pushing out my chest, doing a god awful ridiculous pout smile and flicking my hair like there is no tomorrow ... WHAT IS THIS????!!!!

Surely a nice smile and a little eye contact and a hello would do the trick but ... no! My animal instincts kick in and I start doing these ridiculous things as I think they are going to attract the opposite sex!

When us ladies get ready for a night out we do our hair, slap on the make up and tan until we look like mahogany goddesses all in the hope of attracting the opposite sex. I am pretty sure guys would appreciate us more if we went over and actually said hi as opposed to doing all the hair flicking, dancing by them and pouting!

Please please please can any of you ladies tell me that it's not just me and that you do it too!!!

Public Transport Etiquette . . .

Over the recent months I have spent more and more time travelling on public transport and I have noticed, on each and every one there is definitely a different level of etiquette and even our levels of trust change.

To put it more simply for example when we are travelling on the bus, the majority of us are inclined to sit on the seat nearest the isle with our bags on the seat next to us as an indication to fellow passengers that if they even dare to attempt to sit in this empty seat they will get 'the glare'. We are also very protective over our belongings when someone approaches us as our minds are convinced whoever it is, even the frail old lady with her purple rinse, will steal our bags and leave us with nothing!

However, our mind set completely changes when it comes to travelling on trains. Our level of trust seems to increase and there is almost an invisible code that we all abide by. We leave our cases in the specific designated areas without a care in the world and just trust that no one is going to take it and do a mad dash with it at the next stop whilst we sit half way down the carriage. 

Today whilst I was on a relatively longish train journey a guy happily got up and out of his seat leaving his bag open, his phone on the tray and happily left it all whilst he went to the toilet. Call me sceptical but who is he to trust me, let alone the other passengers on the train.

What is it about stepping onto the train that completely changes our judgement of the world and we trust everybody on the train. I mean let's be honest ... when we are standing on the platform waiting for said train we are wary of EVERYONE!!! That guy in the hoodie, that hipster looking girl in skinny jeans and a 90s backpack, to the old couple scoping everyone out on the bench, we trust no one. So why does all of this change when we happily step on to the train?!

Are there any other situations when we put all of our trust in people this much??? ... No, so why now?

Just one of the many wonders that go through my mind on a daily basis! Can you think of any other times we are so trusting of people?

Enjoy your day :)
