Breakfast. Couple. Twenties. Man clearly lifts big and often. Women, very scary hot feminine. I feel need to do my thing (talk him up). Put my hand on his shoulder. Look at her “Now THIS is a man.” Look at him. “You know man, you’re looking good. But you make short guys like me feel like we can’t compete. It’ hard on us man. Mercy?” Him: “We’re all men”. (I am thrilled at this man-tier response). Me: “Well, you two need to have lots of kids. Do the world a favor. We need you to help us out.” (thankful laughter). I move on quickly without waiting for a response.

Breakfast. Another couple. “Damn you two are good looking. Do the rest of us a favor. Have lots of kids. Make the world a beautiful place”. Girl: (blush). I move on. Guy: to my back “I’ll get working on it”. (laughter)

Breakfast. Two little old ladies. (70’s or 80’s). Dressed for church. Me: “Well, I didn’t realize there were so many good looking women around here. How are you today?” (smiles) One: “I know your mother. I lived around the corner on — street.” Me: “And you’re talking to me? You can’t know her very well.” (more chit chat).

Attention, kindness, compliment, and humor are the cheapest means of contributing to the commons and it always works as long as you are dressed well and aren’t looking for confirmation or attention in return. It’s got to be charity.
