Got Six Words to Inspire America? →

“Another study of 100 college students in 1999 found that people who ate low-fat foods were seen as more attractive, intelligent and middle-class — but also more serious, high-strung, unhappy and antisocial than folks who ate high-fat foods.

Tips from the Strip Club
L: So, I've been lotioning myself with cocoa butter
A: Uh huh, how's that working out for you?
L: Don't do this, but if you feel my butt, it's really smooth
Smile
W: he [his cousin] likes petite girls who are well endowed regardless of the face
where as im much more of a smile and eyes kind of guy..and im more open to frame size
i feel like ultimately we are all gonna fall apart physically
but our eyes and smiles stay mostly the same
and we spend more time looking at the face than anything else
i feel bad bc there was one girl i kind of liked
who was gorgeous..but she had this weird upper lip
that showed almost her entire upper gum when she smiled
and i just couldnt get passed it
my cousin threatened to maim me for it
A: haha my gupo always says i smile too big
W: yeah but you dont show your upper gum
and you have appropriately sized smile for your teeth and face
A: hahaha thanks?
W: you dont want a small smile
or one that is way too big
im certainly not one to talk though
im the king of awkward smiling
