My recent vacation to Bali and Malaysia was a blockbuster in
the true sense- loads of shopping, late night pool parties with the gang,
hung-over days, finger licking food, amazing adventurous water sports, a little
bit of pole dancing and some super wild parties! Anyone who has been to Bali as
a single guy/girl knows how crazy the party scene is, especially in Kuta. As an
average looking woman; who doesn’t get hit on a lot; I sure loved the attention
I got there! When a good looking Australian man with the cutest smile winks at
you from across the bar; it gives you a new kind of high! And when a tall
German hottie, whispers in your ears and asks you if he can dance with you;
your confidence level goes up a notch.
In our everyday mundane lives, we look into the mirror
everyday- at the same face, at the same body, with the same eyes. We try to fix
those circles under our eyes and diet for a flatter stomach. We never look at
ourselves as someone who could be attractive, pretty, or sexy to someone. And
we go on with life feeling like we’re just another average worthless person,
and our confidence levels hit rock bottom. We don’t approach the men we like as
we think they’re too out of our leagues. We don’t interview for our dream jobs
as we think we don’t look the part. And we don’t even freely talk or speak
where we may get noticed since in our minds we think we lack the charm and
charisma.
And eventually, since we’re constantly holding back, we
start losing confidence- the very same confidence that adds to our charm,
charisma, our sex appeal! We start to become the introverts we never were to
begin with. We start to live these parallel lives constantly worrying about not
being good enough- for our partners, for our parents, for our bosses, for
ourselves! But that’s not the truth!
The truth, however, is far from it. The truth is we’re good,
really, really amazing in fact! But why do we need someone else to remind that
to us? Why do we not feel good about ourselves without someone telling us how
amazing we are? We often forget that we are attractive, and our attractiveness
lies in our confidence.
My vacation was an
eye-opener for me! Not only did so much male attention increase my confidence
levels; but it also helped me love myself as I am and be more comfortable in my
own skin. For someone like me, who has struggled with self-esteem issues; been
extremely shy but always tried to put on a confident face- this vacation was
truly godsend. Even the compliments I got on my pictures on social media, added
to my confidence boost. My friends, cousins, relatives- most of them personally
sought me out and complimented me on my taste and sense of style. They asked me
where my dresses were from and how I managed to put my outfits together! A
vacation hangover had never been so sweet to deal with earlier.
I came back as a reformed woman- a woman who wasn’t
apprehensive, or uneasy. I came back as a smart, confident woman- full of
stories, full of joy and enthusiasm, and fully aware of her attractiveness
quotient. I wasn’t hesitant to flirt anymore, or to make the first move, or to
exchange smiles or glances with that charming man across the room. I wasn’t shy
anymore- at work, or in parties, or to talk to strangers.
So for all you girls out there, thinking twice before making
the first move, and not feeling really good about yourself or your bodies-
remember there are some really charming, smart and handsome men out there who
find you extremely attractive and alluring- show some confidence and be your
charismatic self. Don’t lose out on all the wondrous opportunities to flirt
because you think your ass is too big, or because you hate your chin dimple!
Trust me; a big ass is a boon! And that chin dimple, is supposed to bring you good
luck! The only key to looking attractive is confidence; a lot of it. And if you
still feel low and don’t feel very confident about yourself; pack your bags and
take a vacation to that magical island of Bali- live your life; have some fun!
What is life without travel after all?
