Shepherds and Angels

Paul A. Lynch

“Hurry up, Timmy!” shouted his father. “The sheep will get away from us.” 
“But, I’m trying my best father,” answered the young 11-year-old boy who was also aspiring to be a shepherd. 
The night felt special and magical to the other shepherds who were keeping watch over their sheep and goats from vicious animals such as foxes, wolves, lions, and other fierce meat-eating creatures in the dark quiet night in the hills of Israel. They had gotten used to staying up late and even keeping watch over several hundred sheep all at once and at various times. Timmy had Betsy in his hands. She was just a couple of months old. She was his pet. “Ah, tonight feels different from other nights,” said Roadster to Joshua, Timmy’s father. Joshua replied, “Ah, I wonder if something will happen.” “It does feel too quiet and calm.”

Vines Graener

Attraction is measured not only by how a man appears, but also by his confidence and strength. Women tend to favor the cognitive aspect of attraction over the physical one when choosing a partner. Men are afraid to embrace their masculinity because they think it involves aggression, when that is incorrect, and they think acting aggressively is what attracts women. Women are attracted to men who can solve problems in more sophisticated ways rather than using violence.
Women do favor a muscular physical appearance over an unfit one, because it shows a man is healthy and hard-working, which are desirable traits. In addition to muscularity, working out has lots of benefits such as boosting your immune system and increasing bone density.
When choosing a hairstyle, pick one that looks good and that you feel good about. Short to medium hair is recommended, as long hair tends to require lots of grooming and makes you look feminine. Going bald in no way means that you are no longer attractive. Bald men are often seen as more masculine than men with hair, and they consistently are ranked higher in terms of attractiveness. Women also view having facial hair as intriguing and sexy. Facial hair is correlated with masculinity and maturity, as well as high levels of dominance and assertiveness. Having facial hair is the equivalent of a peacock fanning out its feathers to attract a mate.
According to a study published in the British Journal of Urology, penis sizes vary ever so slightly, aside from the extremely large and extremely small, which are exceptions to the rule. Women tend to favor an average size penis over a larger one.
