was always attracted not by some quantifiable, external beauty, but by something deep down, something absolute. Just as some ppl have a sceret love for rainstorms, earthquakes, or blackouts, I liked that certain undefinable something directed at me by members of the opposite sex.For want of a better word, call it magnetism. Like it or not, it’s a power that ensnares people and reels them in.
The closet comparison might be the power of perfume. Perhaps even the master blender himself can’t explain how a fragrance that has a special magnetism is created. Science certainly can’t explain it. Still, the fact remains that combination of fragrances can captivate the opposite sex like the scent of an animal in heat. One kind of fragrance might attract fifty out of a hundred ppl. And another scent will attract the other fifty. But there also are scents that only one or two ppl will find it wildly exciting. And I have the ability, from far away, to sniff out those special scents. When i do, I want to go up to the girl who radiates this aura n say, Look, I picked it up. No one else gets it, but I do.
