Pheremones
Whoa, blimey, who knew that Laundry customers felt so strongly about scones?? And Patrick, the angry Irish barman – funny, but problemo when it comes to Guinness?? Guinness makes me feel a bit irony, not sarcastic, I mean full of iron, have only drank it on seriously peculiar occasions.
So what else have we been talking about this week? ITV got in touch with us because they are making another series of Dating the Enemy. They want a super environmentalist to go head to head with a super er how do you describe it?– a climate change denier to make “interesting” viewing. So the post went on the intranet in the morning and come lunch time; everyone said – Rachel, why don’t YOU go for it?– most people immediately thought of me – WHY I ask you?
So we started chatting about whether you can date an oil barron (it sounds so grand) and I got to thinking…(pause-for-scene-swap-to-pen-biting-switch-to-cigarette-inhale-exhale-while-writing-on-laptop-lolling-on-bed-hair-falls-in-face-swoosh-it-back-bite-lip-carrie-moment) what is the magic ingredient that makes people attractive?
Nicole, guitar strummer extraordinaire says being environmentalist is definitely on her list now, if they don’t believe, how can you get on?
Jess wants a man who can iron – she doesn’t own an ironing board – she had mutli-pleated clothing items – needs must.
My friend Gabe wants a man who can catch with style when you throw him a bunch of keys, has beautiful collar bones and looks good when his hair is sweaty or wet from shower (luckily the man she is marrying fulfils all three).
My other friend Serena likes men with big noses that are arrogant – she thinks it might be because they remind her of her dad – she is one honest lady.
I want the big five (like the personality categorisation for big psychologists but for shallow people) I think you need someone to be funny, intelligent, kind, talented and sexy – no wonder I’m single.
According to well famous psychologists we are attracted to people that are similar to us, see Jade Goody and Jeff, familiar – but note not family and also symmetrical; odd.
Tell me what you think Laundry. Just to tell give you a sneak preview we are going to have a Christmas time Laundry speed dating evening – so make sure your choices are well honed by then.
