…means that’s usually the first thing I notice on people and not say, whatever is the “in” section at that moment. Now it’s somewhat stereotypical to be a guy and focusing on the visual, but I feel confident enough that admitting as much won’t throw Earth off it’s axis. If nothing else, it’s funny how and why these preferences develop as they do.
However it doesn’t always relate to attraction so much, but which sense you perceive the world around you. As a writer at heart and by trade, I tend to have a vivid and visual imagination. And though there’s no shortage of irony that my standard issue brown eyes sit behind eye-wear, I find that I rely on sight first in perceiving the environment around me. (Which is on the nose you might say, but I’ve talked with some people who don’t always list sight as their top sense.)
Now if seeing is believing, I’ll tell you hearing can be just plain embarrassing. I recently tweeted about this but it bears repeating; that I can’t be held responsible if I think I’m alone on the second level and I get caught singing the duet part of ‘Rewrite The Stars.’
The hope is you’d at least be smiling toward that silly example the way I did when Pandora was cycling a few sessions ago. My buddy wasn’t there to refresh it when it got stuck on buffering, so I paused ‘You’ve Got A Friend in Me,’ Buble’s version of course, and listened a second… Almost immediately I noticed a girl in the corner enjoying Sia or Drake or some such. Clearly I couldn’t exactly tell the song but I thought it was great she was really in the zone and enjoying the beat.
Not just that, but the silence after songs when you can hear everyone going nuts at the gym is definitely a sense to behold. Depending on the loud thumping on the TMil and friends above, or the free weights or machines below, the varying grunts and groans and breathy undertones is almost art like… If it wasn’t associated with sweating and BO.
Which naturally leads to the sense of smell, and associated with the gym and exercising means you’ll probably luck out if that’s your weakest sense. Now artificial air fresheners are just swell and all that, but there are some gym goers that gym so hard they could clear a locker room.
And that leaves the last two senses that are generally engaged the least at the gym, taste and touch. The former maybe if you buy one of their “energy” drinks, or the latter if you’re lucky enough to be like this one cute couple I saw that were helping each other with their stretches and just all around touchy and affectionate like… Win win that.
Anyway, in summary, depending on what sense you rely on the most, I’ve learned it’s far more nuanced than one would initially think. If nothing else, this makes working with chakras that much more compelling, as that can only help you develop the five mains and or the not so mains that much more… Or might even help you be less hyper, but that’s for another observation.
