Streaking (Naked) Through Times Square In The Cold!

is something I would probably never have the guts to do.

More power to ANYONE with the courage and the motivation to run around naked. Unless... Ok on second thought- I would not encourage that behavior since kids will likely be there and you better just keep the rocket in your pocket when there are little people around. Or else I will personally punch you. HAHA

Of course, you are reading this post. How could anyone resist such a headline?

I should take a moment to lay out the basic disclaimers: I am not responsible for what happens to anyone as a result of my trickster headline. I am not advising you to run around nude. I am not nude. I will not ACTUALLY punch you.

I am only here to relay a simple message to all of you steemians as we roam around like little busy ants on a sphere made of sugar- bumping into one another and hardly looking up from our devices to avoid collisions.

What is the message?

Whats the rush? You really want me to get to the point this soon in my steem mission statement of the hour?
You want me to get to the sweet spot sooner than later, is that right?
Ok.
Here is my message:

Read posts with boring headlines too. The talent is sometimes hidden by a lack of experience and this sometimes is evident in poor choices for headlines.

I bet at least HALF of you reading this right now would not be reading my message if my headline was more like:

How To Find Great Content In A Sea Of Shit Posts

and that was my headline before I opted for the nudie in the snow thing. Is this deceitful? I think it proves my point. We should try opening posts by people who we normally would ignore and we should really read the content without taking into consideration the rewards as a first motivator.
Let's explore, even if it is in boring clothed status.

Please read my recent posts. I need your eyes on my words people. Especially since implementing my "selfless experiment." which is about me doling out gifts to those who deserve boosts and NOT upvoting myself. Its an ongoing experiment.

That's this one ---> https://steemit.com/steemit/@lorilikes/the-selfless-experiment-i-refused-to-upvote-myself-during-a-time-of-leased-delegation

Thanks for making it to the end of my post- I hope you laughed.
Sorry it did not contain any nudies. No can do.

Great clickbait. However, it's not quite clickbait because you had quite a few relevant points behind it. For example, yes inexperienced steemians tend to create "boring" headlines. Don't judge a book by its cover they say.

I'm late in responding to your post since I've been away from steemit for a few days. But, you're the first person I always look up on here!

Hahahaha... I can't believe I'm just seeing this. I've been off kinda for days now. Well, it's okay to walk around naked sometimes, don't get me wrong. What I mean is stripping off one's pride and letting people see the real us.
However, I see the message behind your post. It's really not cool to discard a post just because it doesn't have a catchy title.

@asaj I hope to get your input on the most recent of my posts. Go check it out. 🦋

I run around naked all the time. Being naked in a stream or river or on a beach or in the forest, in the sun, on a warm summer day - that is what it is all about.

I don't know what to say here, Good fricken headline! but I feel a bit bait and switched (Laugh)

Haha.. you brat.. you got me..

The real kicker- did you read it all ? I confess it is a cheap ploy - but I had purpose! haha

Yes of course I read it all.. it is a cheap ploy... but it worked.. that's what matters.. plus it was funny..

I tagged you in my New Years post- go see! @davedickeyyall

Read my headlines. LOL! Now, is that lack of experience or genius!

I'm one of the only people who can do what I do and get away with it.

I do hide treasures behind ridiculous headlines though. I do this on purpose. Those are gifts I leave there only for the inquisitive.

Shhhh! Don't tell anyone!

@nonameslefttouse

ok I won’t tell anyone

I think you’re hilarious

No doubt I came for the nude content!!
It is indeed true that most of the times high quality posts with average title doesn't get the attention it deserves. Maybe it's all about packaging only!

Hate to admit it but humans are somewhat superficial , and we also love to see the news- especially the wince worthy-bad news... it is so strange. If it is not naughty then it has to be bad to really be gripping if you are the mainstream or average household. I bet that is why there IS bad news in the first place. We get what we ask for? I don't know. I am thinking as I type this.

Haha, this is what I also think. A good example is Game of Thrones. It has all the bad things shown in it, and yet it it is most appreciated tv show out there. We may publicly condemn these things, but still enjoy watching these things. Kinda weird, but maybe we humans are like this only. Probably a manufacturing defect in all of us!

I tagged you in my post today. I hope you will participate, @siddartha

Thanks Lori! I will surely participate in your contest!

Interesting you call it a manufacturing defect. Hmm. So we are machines. Pretty much.

Yeah.....I'm a sucker for click bait, I truly only saw the words "lorilikes" & "naked" and was excited for a nano second. You make a good point -there are actually interesting people with cool things to say about their perspectives despite a lousy title or picture.

very funny post. I just laughted. thanks for share...

I think laughter is the second most challenging thing to get out of a reader so I take that as a compliment. 🙂

Very crazy and exciting post. I really liked this post.

You didn’t read it. Read it! Then tell me it’s exciting.

Oh really now i read it compleatly
this poat is really funny
thanks for sharing it

I am glad you at least admitted at the first round you did not read it, but now that you have I feel good about it. You will find more rewarding friendships this way, ok? Thanks !
