That once you start to become more confident, you do become more popular which feeds your confidence which feeds your popularity, ha ha. But then I guess when social circles get too complicated, it&#39;s easy to run into drama or problems that put you off, and then your cloud of popularity seems to disappear? Ha ha, if any of that makes sense!<br /><br />Ha ha, now I&#39;m determined to believe in my next moteki!Jooordan!http://robofille.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259162477992853660.post-48512465198848888002009-10-24T19:18:53.388-07:002009-10-24T19:18:53.388-07:00I don&#39;t really believe it only happens 3 times in your life, but I have seen this effect of suddenly being more popular among other people. And I do agree with your opinion that popularity tends to feed itself. People become more popular, and then more confident, and then even more popular.Miss Sofiahttp://www.wineintheafternoon.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259162477992853660.post-70497999217668442502009-10-24T16:14:12.077-07:002009-10-24T16:14:12.077-07:00umm first of all, Loving the Zoolander reference. Great Picture and title. I was laughing before I even read anything.<br /><br />Huh, That&#39;s pretty interesting. I didn&#39;t know there was a word for something like that. This is going to sound terribly arrogant and rude, but i&#39;m pretty sure i&#39;ve had more than 3 moteki&#39;s in my life.<br /><br /> I don&#39;t think I believe in Moteki. I don&#39;t think it has to do with people, but self confidence. It&#39;s an attractive trait and definitely helps when in a social scene. Or maybe just being apart of a certain scene or outgoing group.Rachel O.

Haha. Right before I left Vancouver (already planning to get married, not single), people were buying me drinks for the first time ever, or old acquaintances were suddenly telling their friends I was cute, stuff like that... but I&#39;m sure it was because I was emitting a really happy and relaxed vibe since the pressure was off for me to worry about dating.anja louise verdugohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08036679417549255386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259162477992853660.post-51088992170781634352009-10-23T18:19:09.844-07:002009-10-23T18:19:09.844-07:00I love that you quoted Zoolander for this. Seriously.<br /><br />I think the idea of a moteki is maybe a little unrealistic (just three times? Really?), but I agree with you: there are definitely just times in your life when you attract people like crazy, for whatever reason.aimlessambitionhttp://aimlessambition.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259162477992853660.post-14598060097904565072009-10-23T13:05:16.233-07:002009-10-23T13:05:16.233-07:00Hmmm, i donn if I necessarily beleive in metoki being a certain phase that makes your more attractive. In fact I think that based on where you are in life, whats goin on etc. your life becomes better b/c of these things. Like how shes newly single and is dressing better etc. It seems like metoki but due to her new lifestyle, its really her making herself more attractive.Danniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05210713351595563676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259162477992853660.post-923332769894903642009-10-23T10:01:48.246-07:002009-10-23T10:01:48.246-07:00Hmm...

I`m sort of like your friend. I wasn&#39;t very popular while I was dating my exboyfriend, but now that we&#39;ve broken up, guys are hitting on me more than ever!<br /><br />I think a lot has to do with the fact that we feel free without a man, so we are more at ease with ourselves.Emilyhttp://thesouthernbellecooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259162477992853660.post-53387839011840812292009-10-23T05:46:55.178-07:002009-10-23T05:46:55.178-07:00Two.Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17294411261923337196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259162477992853660.post-47579368854476555422009-10-23T04:43:08.828-07:002009-10-23T04:43:08.828-07:00She doesn&#39;t update very much, which is a shame, but Tokyo Cherie recently wrote about moteki also. http://tokyocherie.wordpress.com/selenahttp://expiring.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
