Are you listening?
I hear that a few times a month. I should be grateful that I do hear it seeing that I am deaf in the right ear and have 50% hearing in the left. I supplement my hearing by reading lips. Now I don’t have any formal training but I guess I just picked up what I needed to get by.
Most would assume that this is a great hindrance, but I say no! This has opened a new world of con-foolery and slick-trickery to me.
I always look a person in the eyes/lips/face area when they speak otherwise I will miss half of what they say. This benefits me as always seeming engaged and interested whilst I play the Family Guy theme song in my head.
Women seem to love this and have mentioned that it is nice not to have the other person just stare at their chest as they speak. I explain that I’m very hard of hearing and read lips a little and unless their chest is speaking it wouldn’t help me follow the conversation. They always giggle and smile.
In my professional life I have found this enormously helpful. In sales the main rule is that you ask for the sale and then shut up. I ask for the sale and look at the customer until an answer is given. People are not deft at hiding their buying signs when you are staring at them. It speeds up the encounter and I am grateful.
Im not saying that I have super powers but men fear me and and women adore me. At least thats what I am saying in my head as I pretend to pay attention to this customer.

Hopefully after having a conversation without looking at their boobs, they’ll let you look at their boobs because you’re such a nice guy. One can dream.
I would be so distracted looking at people’s mouths. I would just think about oral all the time and wonder if they’re good at it. Do you do that?
Like for instance, I think Guy Fieri would be really good at eating pussy. Mmmmhmm..
I think I understand what you are saying, and yes I will let you be my girlfriend.
I was going to comment but….i lost all train of thought LOL
I too, have that Family Guy problem. As for the chest thing, I wouldn’t be lookin’ iffin’ it weren’t sooo big and sooo sticking out there!
Do you ever pick up the stuff people say in their heads but couldn’t? Things like “Dude, why are you yelling at me?” LOL. I love your personal stories, bub. You’re very honest and genuine. Thanks for sharing.
I can mind-read and do mental suggestive stuff too. So I can look at their boobs the whole time, without fear of missing something. Then when they’ve finished talking, although I already knew what they were going to say anyway, and they ask me why was I looking at their boobs, but thinking “I wonder what he’s like in bed”, I pull the trump card and tell them I’m a professional photographer and was talent hunting for the next wonderbra ad. Then as their brains go into “wow, he’s loaded too” , cash-register mode, I slip them my card just to prove it and walk away…
Guess who calls that night to invite me out for drinks to chat about their “future opportunities”, yep you guessed right, nobody…
But it’ll work one day, probably…
