Self, I've (Not) Known Ye
Stoli Vodka has an ad campaign out right now that asks the question "Would you have a drink with you?"
How well can we gauge our social cachet? Commentary that everyone thinks they are above average is tired, but it is sobering how difficult it is for us to assess what our relative social strengths and weaknesses are.
Would I have a drink with me?
Probably not, unless I overheard myself talking about something I cared about. My topical conversation is solid, I just struggle through the small talk and am the least approachable person ever.
"You should try to smile more. " - Stripper following the only lap dance I ever paid for.
