If you have no idea what I'm talking about, I have two words for you - Simon Cowell. He's nothing much to look at, but it seems that he's everyone's ideal man. Now, my first theory was that this unexplainable, blind desire that people have for Cowell is because of his power, his ability to shatter someone's hopes and dreams in one pretentious stare. However, I think what's more responsible is the fact that he has that quality - the one that you can't put your finger on, but it turns ordinary people into people that are incomprehensibly attractive. I don't mean just physically attractive, but that they attract everything. They attract people's attention, people’s thoughts, people’s time, and half of this time is taken wondering why they take up so much of your thoughts...
Now I guess the fact that this quality cannot be defined, the fact that it cannot just be acquired, is the reason that it makes these lucky people so attractive. And there’s the law of supply and demand I guess.
Do you still have no idea what I’m on about? Well, I could list the names of the people I believe to have the gene, but I think that the beauty of it is that it’s also a matter of opinion. Now I know I’m nothing special, but what if I could appear that way to the people I wanted to, could I get any job I wanted? More importantly, could I get ahead of people in queues?
You'll no doubt have some of these people in your life - people that aren't particularly that stimulating in any way, but you find yourself liking them a lot in spite of this... catching my drift yet? It's as if your subconscious mind likes them...and your conscious mind is blissfully unaware as to why.
I think the French hit the (french manicured) nail on the head with 'jena se qua'.
