How to Be a Downlow Butt-Kisser

 Butt kissing used to be a fine art. That is until a large number of professional butt kissers basically ruined it for everyone else. 

Professional butt kissers especially in the workplace have been outed for years. Less enthusiastic butt kissers, or people who don't kiss butt at all, started verbalizing their resentment towards the robust smackers, making it more difficult now for their ploy of climbing a workplace or social ladder all the more suspect.

"You're just kissing butt to get promoted," became a common refrain in the workplace. Once outed and known by the boss, even the boss might have a bad taste in their mouth, feeling used or even abused in a ladder-climbing competition that can often get a little nasty. 

Given the bad name of professional butt kissers, the new suave approach is to kiss butt without the recipient even realizing their butt has been kissed.  Downlow butt-kissing has a way of leaving a nice after-glow on the recipient, causing them to think highly of you even if they are not sure why.

Here are examples of professional butt-kissing and Downlow butt-kissing:

1. God! I love your haircut! It makes you look so much younger! You should never let your hair grow that long again. I mean it's like a movie star just walked into the room. (Professional Butt-Kisser.)

2. The downlow kisser will not even comment on the haircut the first day. The recipient is going to notice that you did not say anything, and this might concern them a bit. But then the next day or so standing in the break room you might say, softly: "You must have paid a pretty penny for that haircut. I'm floored at how cool it looks."


Notice in the Downlow version the person is not all in your face gushing like a busted fire hydrant. It leaves a subtle, lasting impression. You are not showing off. You spoke in a low voice. It was just a really thoughtful acknowledgement of the new haircut and then move on to other topics. 


Another example of bad butt-kissing versus good:


3. I love the way you lead our team. You know all the right things to say and when to say them. I think you should be running this company -wow, I hope you are running this company one day but don't tell the big boss I said it, Lol. (Professional Butt-Kisser.)

4. I like your style, man. I feel enriched being on your team, 'appreciate it. (Downlow Butt-Kisser.)


Notice the difference? These days when professional butt-kissers still abound, bosses and other recipients of the loud-mouth manner of ladder climbing are growing tired of it. A breath of fresh air is the downlow performer: they give a stellar performance that doesn't steal attention away from anyone else, and there is a sincerity to their approach that does not go unnoticed by the very intelligent.

How to Put on Perfume or Cologne

 There is almost nothing sadder than when someone spends $100.00 on a bottle of smell-good, only to ruin it by putting on too much. People around are robbed of the opportunity to appreciate your investment, to catch a slight, aromatic whiff of your bottled scent as you pass them in the supermarket or in a fancy restaurant, work, everywhere you go.  And if you continue to take a bath in your perfume or cologne you have for all intents and purposes wasted your $100.00, because no one can appreciate the overwhelming scent you carry, and you would be better appreciated with no perfume or cologne on at all.  Sometimes the scent of perfume or cologne is so overwhelming it immediately invades the nostrils of others, causing some to actually feel sick or get a headache.  The best way to apply perfume or cologne to your body is not to directly apply it at all. To apply perfume or cologne place yourself in a room with high ceilings if possible. If not possible still use this p...

How to Create a Natural Privacy Fence by Growing Bamboo

 Bamboo, one of the fastest growing plants in the world is misunderstood by many people when it comes to gardening. The main reason for this is because some people do not have enough knowledge about bamboo and the 1,000 species of the plant. You can successfully grow bamboo in your yard with only a little extra knowledge about the plant and caring for it. You can create a natural fence of bamboo along perimeters of your yard by doing the following: 1. Plant a version called "clumping." There are numerous clumping versions of bamboo. Just make sure you have purchased a clumping version because it forms a root ball, and the roots should not spread like evasive varieties of the plant. 2. Decide the approximate height you are seeking for your privacy fence. This is because you can control the height of the bamboo early on. If you wait too long, it may take lift equipment to reach the top of the bamboo. You can also control the depth of the bamboo on a regular basis, for example i...

How to Make Vanilla Bourbon Chicken

                                                           Photo: Herbscapes.com Yesterday a neighbor gave me a small jar of Madagascar Bourbon vanilla she has been curing for about six months. The vanilla beans stood in a brown liquid of vanilla and bourbon. For some reason I immediately thought of chicken. I will definitely infuse this liquid gold into some dessert creations, but I happened to have three chicken filets in the fridge ready to make their culinary debut. I rinsed the filets under cold water and placed in a plastic bag. It occurred to me that if I poured too much of the vanilla bourbon into the bag, it would be absorbed by the filets and overtake the flavor, knocking out the fresh German thyme I planned to top on the cooked meal. In plain English: it would be too strong. I carefully dripped about an eighth of a teaspoon into...
