As I’ve written in a previous blog post (see Relationship Tip #5), you never know who’s falling in love with you. While I don’t believe that looks are everything, they are at least a start.

Here it is from an observant man’s point-of-view. Granted, Taylor Phinney is young, but a man nonetheless. I found his post worthy of reblogging because it’s a playful, well-written reminder that sometimes details make a difference.

Scroll down and read some of the comments. There’s a bit of good perspective there too.

So anyway, there we were drinking beers and watching the culture unfold around us, and this girl came and sat down at the table next to us, started chatting, brought drinks over, etc. All good – she was backpacking round Thailand as well, on her ownsome. Somehow the conversation drifted to what we learned in school, and for some reason I thought it’d be hugely entertaining (for me, perhaps) to provide an historical analysis of the chronology of the second world war – which was as great in length as it was dull in content (…) Shortly thereafter the lady gave her polite parting remarks, and my mate was near doubled over laughing at my “chatting up” abilities.

Lesson learned – Unless they’re wearing thick glasses and found in libraries, girls don’t care about history!
