my PIC (that's partner in crime for those of you who are not in the know ;) ) and I were mesmerized by a certain dance instructor out on the floor. His dancing was flashy - full of jumps, spins and styling - oh he was sexy and our hearts beat a little bit faster. Ok, a lot faster...

What is it about a flashy guy that gets our attention so much more than the one that is quiet and maybe a little bit shy but yet spends the whole night dancing with you? Why do we want the one that preens around like a bird in a mating ritual? I think my BID (biological instinct device - yes I made that up, and yes, it was just because I wanted to use an acronym, humor me) has a defect. I mean, really? How useful is his flashiness to me? Do I really need a guy spinning, jumping and strutting for me? What, would he be parading around my bed at night to ward off strangers?

And men fall for this too. As I was stepping out to make a phone call, a guy told me I had beautiful eyes (allow me to translate: boobs). And what are they going to do for him? Huh? Lactate? Pillows to lay his head on?

Dear God, I would like to return my BID to you, there seems to be a flaw in the design...
