On this cloudy Thursday, let’s chat about one thing enjoyable…

So, the awkward male stripper scenes you typically see in sitcoms? Each time we come throughout one, pals and I chuckle about how, as an alternative of strippers, we’d discover it approach sexier if a couple of good guys got here by, carrying button-down shirts with the sleeves rolled up (#forearms) and smelling actually good and asking us about what books we’ve just lately learn. And possibly deliver dessert from a neighborhood place? That can be sizzling.

Equally, my dad good friend Aaron jokes that he likes the reverse of the standard She’s All That film premise of a woman taking off her glasses and shaking out her ponytail and immediately trying lovely. As a substitute, he likes the scene in reverse: a lady placing on glasses and tying her hair again earlier than studying (like his lovely bespectacled bookish spouse!).
