Do you think some females have The Power ?

& why.
I was just thinking about a conversation DP, his male friend & I had last summer.
They said I had ‘the power ‘ but were unable to define what they meant.
They said some women were beguiling & just had something about them.
For the record I’m just an ordinary, late 40s woman, sometimes funny & sometimes goofy 😂

And modest too.

Sorry... I thought you meant ‘The Power’ as in the Naomi Alderman ‘Power’.
In which case, no, I don’t know anyone with it. Yet. 🙂

RomanyRoots · 25/01/2019 22:08

it depends, the power to what?

Parthenope · 25/01/2019 22:09

They were probably referring to Naomi Alderman’s futuristic novel in which ‘The Power’ is an ability girls and women develop to deliver lethal electric shocks out of their fingers.

Come on now, fess up. Can you electrocute people with your bare hands?

Parthenope · 25/01/2019 22:09

X-post with Grundys!

Raspberry88 · 25/01/2019 22:10

Well, I certainly do, it's a drag, you know. All those men falling at my feet...
First post too OP, good try!

BlueBrush · 25/01/2019 22:10

I thought you meant the 1990 single "The Power" by Snap. I don't have that. Sara Cox always seems to play it a lot though.

Parthenope · 25/01/2019 22:11

I’d prefer to be able to electrocute people than be ‘beguiling’ and ‘goofy’, to be honest.

Bluntness100 · 25/01/2019 22:11

Honey if your own partner doesn't think you've got it, no one will 🤣

JaneJeffer · 25/01/2019 22:12

Snap, I've got the power.

Dongdingdong · 25/01/2019 22:12
Hmm
JaneJeffer · 25/01/2019 22:13

Blue beat me to it. Dammit.

XmasPostmanBos · 25/01/2019 22:13

What power?
The power of voodoo
Who do?
You do.
I do what?

VoteForPedrosLlama · 25/01/2019 22:14

The power of hoodoo Grin

Raspberry88 · 25/01/2019 22:14

Who do?

OneOfTheGrundys · 25/01/2019 22:15

“I will attack / and you don’t want that...” 😂
Parthenope loved that book. I found it compulsive reading.

KissingInTheRain · 25/01/2019 22:16

Penny Ford’s got the power.

Bluntness100 · 25/01/2019 22:16

Op, to take a serious moment, do you not get complimented often by your partner? Do you think that's why it's stayed with you?

VoteForPedrosLlama · 25/01/2019 22:17

You remind me of the man
What man?
The man with The Power?
What power?
The power of hoodoo
Hoodoo?
You do
What?
Remind me of the man...etc...etc...Cary Grant

Crushedvelvetcouch · 25/01/2019 22:22

I hope you're pissed OP, or tipsy at the very least.......

Racecardriver · 25/01/2019 22:26

I do. But I have to stand on one leg and emit a low frequency humming for it to work. Males find me irresistible Wink

TheFatberg · 25/01/2019 22:28

Bluntness100 she said her partner did think she had the power, whatever the power is.
