Tahir and his new spin

Almost five years ago, I made my first real job change. I went from a big power house consulting firm that was sucking away my life source and all my goodness to a small boutique firm that promised happiness, no travel, and a 36 hour work week. I believe of those 36 hours I only really worked 5 a week. I spent the rest o fthe time internet surfing and talking with people in the office.

Being as the office only had 14 people in it, you had a limited choice of who to talk to. I became close with a coworker of mine Tahir. Tahir had his own life philosophy. He called himself a neo-malthuseann. He was a reformed ladies man who was married with two kids. He decided to impart all his former playa wisdom to me. It made the day go quickly.

I have since changed jobs, but Tahir and I have kept in touch. We met the other night for dinner and again he passed off to me some of his worldly knowledge. We discussed the cowboy from the other weekend and how I couldn't get him out of my mind. Tahir said that I am genetically predispotioned to mate with that man or a man of that type. He went off for a good half hour about it. He said its all in my genes

I agreed. I was totally willing to mate with that man, but I'm not sure if it has anything to do with my genes. Next time I see him I will bring it up. Maybe it will be a good pickup line "do you know I am genetically predispositioned to mate with you? Should we do it now?"
