      Bill Nye

      Meeting people at subways and in line at the register, is unfortunately (only sometimes) inevitable. We must prep ourselves for meeting that stranger who will judge us at first glance and be caught between the dislike and like button of our appearances. This doesn't just include physical, but personality traits that can help us attract other people, even when it's not for romantic attraction.

      "Don't judge a book by its cover."

      I'm sorry but I do. When the outside looks safe enough to look at then of course I am going to continue to read its content! If a person is wearing a pair of shorts that resemble a thong, then I might skip over it and pretty much say that you have decided to display yourself as a modern-day Manet portrait, you know, the ones who caused the huge scandals for having nude women? Yes, that is what you are. A great big splash of nakedness. So, number one: I notice if a person is wearing the appropriate attire to the pertaining occasion. Walmart=possible sweats and a t-shirt. Club=dress that hugs more than your curves. Dress that hugs more than your curves does not equal Walmart.
      Number two: I notice how well they speak to you. If they catch your attention, that must mean that they are using the correct grammatical language without trying to sound like Bill Nye the Science Guy. e.g. Example of a good salutation and how the weather is outside: "Hello! Did you notice the weather outside? It seems quite pleasant. The rain sure washed those dirt spots off my car!" Example of a poor salutation: "Yo. How ya doin' my shizzy fa shizzy? Wha? Oh na dude. This f***** rain irritates the s*** out of me. You're pretty." Example of a Bill Nye overly-thought out salutation with a careless and annoyed audience: "Bonjour! Oh, that's just French for 'hello.' How are you doing? The weather? Oh yes, I noticed the consuming air density surrounding my motor vehicle that I happened to park outside next to the legal pedestrian sign in order for me to walk at a quicker pace so that my new wardrobe was not defiled by the condensation in the air. It's so hyetal!"

      Number three: Their smile. Yes, I notice peoples' smiles. I absolutely melt when I see an amazing smile on a person's face! They may be Bill Nye, but I will continue to stare below their nose as long as it's a good feature! Well, there is nothing much to say about this last part. It either is good or it isn't.

    I want to have safe conversation as part of a first impression, but not with an overrated science nerd who likes to compliment his own ability and understanding of his proper and extensive vocabulary. :) @five23
