The Lollipop – an iconic image of the flirt; embodying the aesthetically pleasing and yet unobtainable pleasure associated with that of the tease! Tease being an age old flirting technique. With today being National Lollipop Day – what better way to celebrate than with a homage to the lollipop and to the tease…
Britney, Fergie, Katy Perry and Kim Kardashian have all done it – they have all struck that classic lollipop pose! Dada and Lil Wayne have even dedicated songs to it! Why not get involved and strike your own lollipop pose! Upload it as your profile picture – a guareenteed attention grabber!
So what’s so fascinating about a piece of hard candy on a stick that one licks? Simple – it is not the object itself…but the suggestion and the body language behind it. It flirts and it teases! It takes a maximum of 4 minutes to decide whether we like someone. 55% of this is based on your potential flirt’s body language, 33% is from tone, speed and nuance of voice and a mere 7% is from what they are actually saying…
So how would you spend those crucial 4 minutes? How would you expect someone to impress you within those 4 minutes? Does the licking of a lollipop do it for you? Or are there other methods that really impress you?
