    That might be because I’ve been single for some years, but women smiling at/with me goes straight to the heart and that’s connected to other parts. Obviously.

    A sundry of ostensibly inconsequential minutia regarding women, and abstract concepts complex to the point of absurdity about women, and black nail polish on women.

      Are you a guy? Because I drove manual (hate automatic transmission in cars, don’t like shifting bikes at all though) and one time my husband borrowed his dad’s truck because his car was broken, we went out to a concert and he (husband) got drunk so I drove us home, it was so hard to shift that truck, I had to stand on the clutch, like my ass came off the seat. Anyway, I downshifted to slow down and drunk husband found it really sexy for some reason. So you are not alone.

        I am a guy but this is something that my girlfriend told me. However, I personally do find women riding geared motorcycles hot. So I totally empathise with your husband :D

    Sexy - When a guy is really good at something and not at all cocky about it. That understated competence.

      The Dunning–Kruger effect is usually defined specifically for the self-assessments of people with a low level of competence. But some theorists do not restrict it to the bias of people with low skill, also discussing the reverse effect, i.e., the tendency of highly skilled people to underestimate their abilities relative to the abilities of others. In this case, the source of the error may not be the self-assessment of one’s skills, but an overly positive assessment of the skills of others.

      It’s real. Once you see that, you can’t unseen it. Especially if we’re talking about someone who’s dedicated their entire life to something highly specialized; they will almost always overestimate the familiarity of the general public with their own area of expertise.

        Hmm. This makes sense, usually the best dancers aren’t the best dance teachers, even though it’s not a techy career or anything that attracts super introverted people. Being able to transfer knowledge is its own sort of competence I guess.
