My boss once gave me a book about financing and it had this long chapter about "The Latte Factor." This is the one thing you spend money on everyday that you don't need... like paying six bucks for a cup of coffee with too much milk and a muffin every morning at starbucks. You don't need it. And you're wasting your money on it when you could just get a cup of coffee at work or brew your own at home.
Inspired by this, I coined the term "Leather Jacket Factor" or.. "The Fonz Effect"-- That one thing that instantly makes the opposite sex attractive to you even though it might be absolutely superfluous or even bad. Liking someone a lot because they like a certain band, or wear a certain brand of shoes... Or, better yet, being able to drink a lot of booze, or riding a motorcycle without a helmet. Its stupid, and they could be a crappy person, but when they do that one thing you like them a lot more than you probably should.
I have a few Leather Jacket Factors...
On the lighter side:
-I love freakishly tall people. I seriously considered dating a drug addict just because he was 6'7. It was really hard to pass up a legal giant.
-I love a man who wears big, leather Face Stompin' Boots
On the Probably Terrible Side:
-I love a man who can throw punches and likes to... a lot
-I love it when a guy drives too fast
-Worst of all, I love when a guy smokes. Especially if they don't smoke menthol's (only pussies smoke menthol's)-- And I didn't even pick up my own terrible smoking habit until I was 19, and before that I always liked it, and considered it a plus.
So whats your Leather Jacket factor?
