I'm way too pretty to piss anyone off that much. It's psychological. Physically attractive people produce endorphins in other people's brains when the other person lays their eyes on an attractive person. It's a neurological synapse reaction that occurs involuntarily. Serotonin & dopemine are released and are collected by the neuron receptors in the lymbic cortex in the human brain. The eyes send signals to the mind and a chemical reaction occurs causing pleasure for the recipient. You see, that's why attractive people are able to get away with doing and saying more radical & boa(Please be quiet - edited)l things people who're not as attractive can not. My looks back it up and the other person isn't as motivated to disagree with me. It's psychological as well as sociological and it's something I've used to my advantage over a long period of time.
And it doesn't hurt that I look like a Rock Star.
Plus, New Yorkers are very attuned with what they can get away with and what they can't. That's sociology as well. It's due to New Yorkers being exposed to more person-to-person interaction mixed with a wider span of different types of people overall.
Thanks for sharing though, Mo. Any other specialized knowledge you're curios about that goes over an Average Joe's head? lol.
