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 😂

I have it. My daughter has it too. I’m not going to broadcast it though due to my government job
Did enjoy the book, a book club choice.

I do , but I have to be plugged in.

Honeyroar · 25/01/2019 22:31

I thought you meant like in Charmed or Bewitched!

Now I can't get that stupid little mix song out my head that was on the radio 6 billion times a few months ago.

Zoomzoomzoomzoom0 · 25/01/2019 22:35

Is that book good?
Pp have made me think of David Bowie in labyrinth. He had the power 😍
As do I. Obvs.

Bluntness100 · 25/01/2019 22:35

The fat berg, yes I know, my point is you'd expect your partner to feel you are beguiling or whatever "the power" means, so if they are talking about this, you'd expect them to say you have it, otherwise it would be rather offensive, 🤣

fingerlickingud · 25/01/2019 22:37

Yeah, I got the Power - flower power - yeah baby, grooovy. Zapp.

juniperbushes · 25/01/2019 22:39

Yes, OP - I know what they mean. I've got it, and it's a sodding nuisance.

marvellousnightforamooncup · 25/01/2019 22:41

Of Greyskull?

MyfanwyMontez · 25/01/2019 22:44

marvellous 😆

EnidButton · 25/01/2019 22:44

Women. Not females. We're not animals on a David Attenborough documentary. We're women.

AckYourHole · 25/01/2019 22:45

@marvellousnightforamooncup that made me laugh "I have the Powwwwweerrrrrr"

StarShapedWindow · 25/01/2019 22:49

I expect every woman has ‘the power’ when she can be bothered to get tarted up - if she can ever be bothered.

Batteriesallgone · 25/01/2019 22:57

Are some women charismatic? Yes. As are some men.

Are you? No idea.

PatriciaHolm · 25/01/2019 23:01

the power? The power of lurvvvvve?

Or something else?

Beamur · 25/01/2019 23:05

The book is almost great. Fab idea but difficult to end well. I liked the premise of how would women react to having the means to take power - albeit by inflicting pain, on men.

DareDevil223 · 25/01/2019 23:12

What like Phil ''The Power Taylor' ?

KissingInTheRain · 25/01/2019 23:22

Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup have the power too.

WunderBlah · 25/01/2019 23:33

a force from above?

ThisWayDown · 25/01/2019 23:38

I used to have The Power, but I’ve Powered Down.

Sowing747 · 25/01/2019 23:45

Yes I know what you mean OP. It's usually got something to do with a degree of restraint I think.

Quite impressed you've got the cojones to focus this post on you though Hmm

HitchHikingTomorrow · 26/01/2019 00:06

I’m not a new poster.
It was a genuine question as to whether some women seemed to have an attraction that wasn’t an obvious in your face attraction.
I’ll bow out as I think my question came across in the wrong way

@HitchHikingTomorrow

Was just thinking bit harsh, some of these replies and then saw I’ll bow out as I think my question came across in the wrong way

MN's weird if you're a female posting anything different to the "right think", been here years myself.
Did they clarify what they meant by the power? I'd have been like "Eh? How have I got the power?!" lol.
For the record am a boringly ordinary 40 something year old woman myself who can be funny and goofy too Grin

@GlitterStick - I have heard of the ‘Power’ but this was literally a conversation 7 months ago - pissed in the garden . The guys were just saying that they thought some women ‘ had a power’.
They couldn’t describe it , it had no specific boundaries. It was just some women had it
