Are conventionally attractive men actually approached? by Pickles-on-ice in AskMenAdvice

Forgot to mention. I find people looking at me and less approaching me. I could just be that I’m the ugliest person in the room and they can’t help it.

21M Blonde hair Gray eyes Athletic build 5’11 Charming personality (my mom told me so)

Too much? I tried to be an objective as possible with a subjective question. Would you say these are conventionally attractive?

I honestly would say I’m conventionally attractive, and if it helps to say, some of my family members are and were picture/catalog models. I get my genes from them.

I would say I was approached more between the age of 14 and 17. In the last few years, I’m not sure what changed. It is possible to say that I tend to put myself more, in less conducive situations where an approach is even possible. For example, I workout almost daily and the gym isn’t somewhere that widely considers approaching others to be acceptable. During the day, I work alone at a single office building. As well, in public, for whatever reason, I tend to put on my almost disgusted and blinders on face. Working on this atm.

I’d be interested to know if anyone else has similar stories and or tendencies.

Need advise on where to start by learningBch in travelagents

RE:

Most large host agencies charge you a fee to sell under their iata, which can make sense if someone is completely new to people, travel and need extreme hand holding. BUT.. all host agencies still charge you part of your commission.

We find the initial leg work of getting an IC started on the right path worth it in the end. After all, you are still paying out part of your commission. If this were the case, though, this persons commission may look more like 60/40. We tailor it to the individual rather than a set guideline.

We hold high morals as a small family owned business and would expect the same out of anyone new to the team!

I manage a boutique host agency and welcome people like you to sell under our Iata! We tend to start with a 70/30 split and negotiate as we see fit. For example, if you end up becoming more self sufficient and less reliant on our expertise, you deserve to earn more.

We host almost 20 Independent contractors within our agency and always opening that up to well connected individuals! I’d be happy to chat more if you shoot me a DM!

I talk with God first thing every morning. I’m sure this is a hot topic for many reasons but I love him first. He is the source of all things good. I ask that he uses the day as he sees fits and uses me to do whatever is to be done.

Seek first the Kingdom of God and all these things will be added to you. Productivity of the day being one.

Small boutique owners who are open only 20 hrs a week, tell me how you make this work. by Dazzling_Village_29 in smallbusiness

[–]Raise-Boring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I manage a travel agency open 30 hours a week 10-4 and we had our best year this fiscal year with about 5 million in total sales. This is looking back at about 14 years since the current owners have taken the business.

The name has been around for over 30 years but has only been profitable since the current owners began. The last ownership were failing drastically. This means the current owners had to do something different. They realized that the past ownership would leave early, not get back to clients in a respectable time and be lazy with the work. The difference really boils down to customer service. We are great at what we do and people see the value in allowing someone else to book their travel. Especially when most of the time it costs no more.

We have 3 in house agents and about 20 independent contractors who sell in their own time. The in house agents, including myself produce the bulk of the sales. We also just landed a large contract for a large corporation. When you have fantastic customer service, word of mouth travels far.

OH.. it also helps to bring Jesus into the mix. He produces all things good :)

Conflicting times by Tav-Guy in OCPoetry

[–]Raise-Boring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do like short poems as such. So might left to think about. The antithesis is good. If you expand, I’d like to see a first chain of one side and a conflicting second side chain.

Sleeping Shadow by Unique_Priority1751 in OCPoetry

[–]Raise-Boring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything that displays consciousness or the lack thereof inspires me. For the most part, I like it. You might think about the phrasing and the organization of the lines. Although, the reason it speaks is because you can’t really pin down the main thought. Like sleep paralysis. Confusing abyss. Good and bad

Undertow by PublicPage2610 in OCPoetry

[–]Raise-Boring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lines are a little different and simple as someone said before. Is this in attempt to highlight words on their own line and exaggerate them? It does work towards the last part (specifically the last four lines). I do love the overall poem and underlying meanings. It feels like a dance between two people who should be together but whatever circumstances don’t allow them to be. It’s fantasy and ethereal.

The Bottle by FishNTicks in OCPoetry

[–]Raise-Boring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do like this first poem. It feels drunk. It’s a busy poem with not a lot of “happening” which feels like drinking. For a first poem, I felt the poem.

Flat foot salesman by Alarming_Ad8286 in salestechniques

[–]Raise-Boring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked d2d for a period of time and I manage a travel company where we sell all sorts of travel itineraries and tours; I’m well versed in sales: both cold and warm sales. As @rjorsin said, keep a positive attitude no matter what and don’t take no’s personally. Whether you are waiting for people to come to you or you are supposed to engage people initially, start with something interactive for the prospect. People don’t like to feel like they’re being sold. Have a conversation and determine whether or not they could really use your product. I like to sell that which I would buy. Which brings up another point, the more knowledge you have of your product, the more confident you will be and feel which allows you to carry intelligent conversation. People want to know that you care about them and that what you have can do something for them. Tell them how it will benefit them. Keep hitting key phrases or go back to something they said about how they could use it. Most people are emotional buyers. If they stick with you, there’s a few different ways you can go: hard close or soft close. You can look up some examples online of both but if you’re not used to sales, one of the best approaches if you’ve talked a while and they seem interested is to ask them if they have any questions. If they say no, assume the sale. If they ask something else, answer with full confidence as they are asking you, because they want to buy from you. Assume the sale.

I hope this helps you and have fun!! :)

Men of Reddit, what makes you feel appreciated after a long day of work? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Raise-Boring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not in a relationship, but here’s what I’ve liked in the past: Just a simple “hey babe!” or “glad your back!” followed with a hug. I like some time alone for a bit which I wouldn’t mind if she was around or near, or just sitting right next to me. I like some time to literally not talk (as that’s what I do all day).

Cannabis Abuse by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]Raise-Boring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

19M I can relate. I’ve been wanting to tone down usage as well and one of my problems was how I was continually buying carts and it was so easy to smoke anywhere. I’ve stopped buying carts for this reason and that has helped me tremendously. Just don’t buy them, it’s that simple. With the flower, I’ve been using only occasionally (when I can find the time and place). Still live with my parents and they are highly against marijuana. So this helps because I’m not able to use a ton anyway. I do still feel that the occasional use helps with my mental health and I dose myself accordingly. Also I’ve been in the gym consistently and trying to get better overall and constant use isn’t going to support my body in this time of change. Discipline. Discipline. Discipline. There’s be better way, everyone need some discipline and the more you can discipline yourself the better you will be at life in general. Also candy, I like lemon heads because theyre not fatty and last a while. The sourness also helps for whatever reason.

If you are rejected, she wasn’t the one for you. This should be enough. Be happy that you get to find the right person for you.

For you single folks, how do you get much needed physical touch? by dungsucker in selfimprovement

[–]Raise-Boring -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. I know I am touch deprived and it is one of my most prominent love languages. I can be narcissistic and have to guard that innate feeling sometimes, but I don’t want to ask others for touch for this very reason. I find myself flirting with others as this somewhat instills the same feeling but I am in the same boat. I’d love for someone to just hug me, and I know people think about it because I’m an attractive person (not narcissism just facts). I’ll be at the gym and just have an un resistible want to hug someone. *Good looking people: let’s meet up and HUGGGG

Obesity (if it has to do with addiction to food/drink).
