Walk the walk...not like a hod carrier with hemorrhoids

We are often let down by our walk. Too many men and women walk with all the poise and engaging refinement of a hod carrier with hemorrhoids. Not a great look.

Walk upright and with the sort of composure that says you’re calmly in control. Most people, certainly in Britain, walk badly. If you walk like a hod carrier with hemorrhoids, then that’s how you’ll be seen and perceived by other people. You won’t stand a chance of them thinking of you as either a CEO type who they’d look up to or a sensual goddess who they’d desire.

It’s such a shame to see an attractively dressed woman walking badly down a street or anywhere, for that matter, with tightly folded arms and round, stooped shoulders as if she’s in an invisible straight jacket that’s weighed down from the front, tottering along. It kills the outfit. It kills the image. It’s very unsexy and unappealing. And men don’t help themselves either, doing a similar sort of round-shouldered shuffle, with the added refinement of some gentle and sometimes rhythmic jaw jutting to half-heartedly assert some sort of male machismo. Moon walking and goose-stepping will get you more respect, but skipping along is questionable.
