cocheese 0 #1 July 7, 2008 Ladies, at what age did you master the look? You know, that look that would make a grown man shiver with the fear god...or at least take out the trash immediately. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kbordson 8 #2 July 7, 2008 I still haven't. I have very little control with "the look." AND I was even raised as a good lil catholic girl on a full dosing of guilt and the look each day (ok... maybe not a full dosing... and maybe not EVERY day....) But I got the look and the "I'm so disappointed in you" many times... I love my mom dearly and she did a great job. I REALLY hated the look. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #3 July 7, 2008 Apparently I have, and don't even know that I have because sometimes I give and and don't even know that I've given it. My cat, on the other hand, has mastered it before her first birthday. She can give it (accompanied by a tiny growl) to her brother - who, mind you, is over three times her size - and he will back the fuck off and let her have whatever it is she wants (usually food, sometimes a toy). Attached is a less hostile version of "the look" directed at me. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iluvtofly 0 #5 July 7, 2008 I thought all women knew about the look. I figured we were all born with that ability. I know I learned it well from my mom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

About the time I started teaching karate. I was 14, and running the adult classes sometimes! Without that look, it'd have been chaos! The look was refined when I began teaching elementary school.

DavidB 0 #8 July 7, 2008 WAY back when I was married (29 years ago), I tried giving my wife THE LOOK... once. I think she finally stopped laughing a year or two ago. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
