Speaker 1

This is How Men Think with Births like and Gavin de Grab and I hear radio podcasts. Welcome to another episode of How Men Think podcast. My name is Brooks Like and I will be your host for today. And I'm super excited about today because today is a completely different show than we've ever done usually on this show, and honestly, actually every time I try and do this podcast, and I signed on to do this podcast because I wanted to add value to you guys, to the listeners.

That's my mission with doing this podcast is how much value can I add to your lives while you're listening to this show today. You're not gonna get any of that.

You are not going to get any value that's going to positively impact your life, but you are hopefully going to get entertained as we enter the wild and crazy realm of thirst traps first trap photos, and we have with us produce Sir Danielle and producer Easton and or sorry, producer Tory and producer Easton and Tor is already smiling because two weeks ago Tori put me onto this term. I had never heard the term first trap in my life until two shows ago when we did a show

with Eric Winters. Um Tori tell us what thirst trap is all about. Well, it's funny because again, this term has been around for a while. We even have easton East and you're thirty what held thirty three? And do you know the word like the term thirst trap? I do?

I do. So I feel like I'm the only one, like because I put this out on my social media like asking our community to submit the best thirst trappers, which we have a list of everybody that you guys submitted, and we have two amazing thirst trappers, a guy and a girl coming on this show and we'll get to that in a sect, but stay tuned for that. Um. But I feel like I'm the only person in the world that had never heard of this term for trap? Am I just like am I just from outer space?

Why if there is anyone that doesn't know what it is? Urban Dictionary always gives you the best way to describe it. So I pulled it and it's a sexy photograph or florry message posted on social media for the intent of causing others to profess their attention their attraction, sorry, causing others to profess their attraction. So basically, it's like you're posting it, but somebody will engage with you on that

photo saying you're hot. Basically okay, So somebody posts a sexy photograph or provocative photograph just hoping that people are gonna double tap it, like it comments slide into their d m s. They're set in bait, really is what they're doing. So that's called a thirst trap. Correct. Oh man, if you think fire emoji, you're thinking thirst trap. Oh, fire emoji and god, all that probably go with this.

So thirst trap. So thirst trapping has been around. I just asked my buddy about this right before we started the show this episode. He said he was using the term in he was using the term thirst trap. So I have no idea, guys, how I missed this boat. Um, I've had a lot of our how men think messager listeners send me photos from my own Instagram profile, just repeated photos. Boom, this is a thirsdt trap. Boom, this is a thirst trap. Boom, this is the thirst trap.

So maybe I've been doing it, but my photos have actually been like at the completion of a workout, like something that's actually I've actually really done our thirst trap photos more just poser like pretending to do something photos, Brooks, if you're showing off your muscles in a photo, you were thirst trapping. So if you're like, hey, here's my

cross fit, you're not wearing a turtleneck. You're gonna show off your body and your muscles, and you're gonna say I look good while also kind of promoting your your healthy lifestyle. But it's for the intent to be like, wow, Brooks, you look great. What's your program that's engaging in a conversation. Yeah, so so My how I look at thirst trap though, is like this is how I perceive it from my

my recent like knowledge of it the past days. Over the past days, I've interpreted it as just an over the top, just ridiculous, why are you doing that photo? Like when I work out, a lot of the times I'll have a shirt off because it's so hot. The workout will run twenty So I did you work out yesterday? It ran thirty nine minutes, So like you just get hot, so sometimes you peel the shirt. Um, so it's actually functional and actually like real life. My view on thirst traps,

they're not real life. They're poser shots that you're just casting out bait for double clicks In your profile Eastern What do you think I mean that that that sounds like it's me. Uh, I've never posted one because uh, in the whole since Instagram has been a thing, I've been an event married man. You know, So, Um, I have to you know, I'm only I'm only trying to trap the thirst of one person. And uh and uh

you know that this has been quenched long ago. Let me tell you so how about this though, So both of our thirst trappers, one is married and one is in a relationship right now. So we have two people that are notorious and that our how men think community wanted us to get on, that are notorious for thirst trapping, and they're both in committed relationships. But here's the thing. You don't have to be single to post a thirst trap. Like you could still post a photo being like, yeah,

I'm hot, I feel good about myself. It's not to necessarily get slides into your d m s, but like you feel good when you post a picture and it gets a lot of likes, you can't say that it doesn't. Okay, Okay, So well, we have a specialist. We have a really special guest. You guys requested her. Um, she is a. She also has a I Heart Radio podcast. She is page Renee Paige. How are you, how are you doing? Thank you for coming on this show. I'm so excited one great to see you again. Um, I'm I'm just

over the top with the show. I cannot wait for this show. So page Renee for our listeners or the people on in our community that don't listen to her podcast or don't know who she is, was a professional golfer. I'm gonna call you professional golf. You still are because you can kick everybody's good. Um. But also you are the most uh socially followed golfer in the world. Correct crazy, but yes, you have the biggest social community digital community of any golfer in the world, and you do some

amazing things with your platform. We'll get into those value add things later, but this show is not about value. This show today is all about entertainment. Um. And so we are going to get to thirst trapping. Page. This is a new term for me. I don't know if Tori, but I just found out about thirst trapping two weeks ago. So how did you not know about thirst traps? It's everywhere? So how did you find out about it? Because Tori just told me about it on an episode two weeks ago.

How did you find out about the term thirst trap? My whole social media platform is built on a thirst trap. But who told you that? The term? Like you just probably like four years ago. It's just when you throw up a picture and people like, oh, it's a thirst trap, or they'll put like the water emoji, or they'll say like, do you need a gatorade because you look dehydrated? Are

you thirsty? Like? There's just so many terms for it. Um, but I think thirst traps get a bad rap, but they're actually a really great thing and you need to there's certain things you need to do to get a really good thirst trap. Okay, so I have so many questions for you. Let's start with that for our listeners. So pages of female. So let's we have a male coming on the show later. Um, but let's let's attack

it from a female perspective. If you're gonna do a thirst trap photo as a female, give us like your top three pointers page. Well, the first thing is you need to know your audience, because the thirst trap is going to be different for if you have more of a male audience, If you have more of a female audience, or if you have like a food account, you can either make a food thirst trap. There's so many ways

you can go about it. But for me, since I have a strong male demographic and they like sports, a thirst trap is just me hitting a golf ball. That is the thirst trap for me. Some people, when you hear thirst trap, you think it's just like you know, booms out, ass out, you know, just like showing everything up and that's They think that's a thirst trap, but it's really not. It's just whatever your audience really likes.

So like a thirst trap for a food account could be like this gooey gooey mac and cheese and people are like, yes, I love that, I want that. Or for like you, all you have to do of jealous is like pose with a cute dog. Like guys have the easiest thirst traps ever, it is the simplest thing girls have to actually put onto it because if you're a girl and you have a female audience, you all you have to do is have like a designer bag

or a baby, or like a really nice outfit. So it's totally different for everyone whoa Okay, you're blowing my mind here because so in my context of a thirst trap, it's just like a butt picture, a boom picture, ab picture. Like, it's just that's how I see a thirst trap. But you're saying that a thirst trap can be a dog, Like I post photos my dog all the time. I love my dog, he's my boy. I love him. But I never thought that that would be a thirst trap. Oh yeah, So let's just say you have a more

female dominated audience. I have more female than male. Perfect. Okay, So all you have to do is post a picture with like a dog and you're good to go. Or I mean, you can definitely do the shirtless picture. I don't think anyone is complaining about that one bit. But it's so much easier for you. You just have to do something where a girl goes, oh, it's so cute. That is a thirst trap for a female. It's anything that kind of gets like there, oh, that's so adorable.

I didn't know that, okay, I like, I thought a thirst trap was you're setting out some bait with the intention of trying to get people to slide into your d MS a thousand percent. But for you that that's definitely like, oh, he's so cute with his dog and o like, oh he cooks, like I love that. Girls are just gonna be like yep, I'm slide and right and wait, Brooks you I'm sorry to interrupt, but Brooks knows this because he hasn't realized. But he's been posting

these pictures for a long time. And you posted a picture of your dog and a girl was like, page, get this and let me know what your thoughts are. He posts a picture of his dog and if somebody swipes up, sorry, someone d m saying, oh my gosh, I would love for our dogs to do a play date together. What is she saying? I want to sleep with you? Do you think so? A thousand per cent? That's just like the easiest way to like slide in.

Girls are not as direct as guys. But that is a hundred percent exactly what she was going for, Like I want to go on a date, I want to sleep with you. I'm in love with you. I'm so behind on like the whole social media gang game and just like intent on it, Like I use my platform to try and add value. That's why I do this show. That's why I use my platform, and then I show things I love you know, um, but I never I never played. I never had social media until I was

in a relationship. I've never ever in my life been single and had social media, So I've never played that kind of a game with social media. Mine was always to engage with people and see how I could add value to their lives you and bring bring attention to good causes and charities and things that a lot of what you do as well with yours. Um, But how can we make a positive impact in the world with the platform that we've built through our sport? So I

always looked at social media like that. I never looked at it like we're just chum and water here trying to just get the sharks to circle. So, um, what other ways give? Like Okay, let's so for a woman, for a woman, know your audience, so any like, even you swing in a golf club, guys are gonna just double tap on it because guys are sports fans, and guys are fans of you're a very beautiful woman. So

but then how do you supercharge that? Because that's the like I looked at your profile page, I follow you, and and that's not all your posting. No, I think you definitely have to Like you were saying like, I'm not just throwing thirst traps out every single day trying just to get attention, and guys despide in my dms. That's not We want to use our platforms for good, but you do sometimes need a thirst rap to kind

of get the engagement going. And so for me, that's usually like a bathing suit picture or a selfie or you know, just a more sexualized picture. But one thing I always trying to do with my first traps and not show the whole thing. So just give them like a little bit of a taste, so I'll kind of crop it up or just show like either I'll focus on one part of my body. But it's really strategic

on how I do it. But I mean, it really does help kind of getting that engagement, getting that traffic, because you still, if you don't have anyone looking at your page, then it's for nothing that you can't promote any of the good causes or get your voice out there. No one's following you. So I use it for good or for bad. People disagree or I think it's maybe not the best way to do it, but I like to throw out a good thirst trap because I also I like the way I look at the picture. I'm

not just doing it for attention. I was like, yeah, I look good in that picture. I'm gonna throw it up. That's awesome. UM. I also think, um, there's a thing like what you just said that sometimes you'll do that as a way of keeping there's a termine in digital media called attention currency. So having people's attention I want that. That's the currency in digital media is do I have your attention? Are you coming back to my platform, to

my profile and engaging with me? Um? And if sometimes you need to do that to then parlay that attention currency into some sort of philanthropic adventure or something you're doing there, then I I totally understand the reason to do it. I think there's uh, some people do it out of vanity of just like throwing out like they just they want to be maybe an insecurity. They'll throw it out to try and get themselves fed up or filled up. UM. I don't see that. I know you page,

so that's not who you are. UM, it's not how you use your platform. But I do see what you're saying. I will admit, like sometimes I'll post a an aggressive workout picture or if I'm shirtless doing a workout that will get more attraction to the workout program that I'm doing,

which I designed to help people to help benefit people's lives. Yeah, it's the same thing, And I don't think it's a bad thing if you do do it because you just want some validation or just a little bit of like, hey, you know, like that does make me feel good, especially if you have taken that time to you know, diet

and exercise and you're proud of your body. And I feel like a lot of women get a lot of hate for that because they'll pose in a bikini and they're like, I've worked so hard for this, and people tend to take it as a bad way. They're like, oh, you just want attention, you want people look at your body. But then a guy will pose shirtless and there they're only noticed for all of their hard work that they've done.

So I feel like first traps kind of have a negative connotation when it comes to women, and then with guys, you guys can post whatever you want and women don't say anything, but say I pose a bikini, they will turn around and call me a slat. So I think

there's definitely like a double standard there. And when it comes to golf being very conservative, sometimes I definitely push the limit and be a little more sexualized because golf is so conservative and it's okay to where would I want to wear and look the way I do and still be a complete badass in golf, And so it's kind of almost breaking that standard or that mold of what people think of golfer should be. So there's a reason why I take it maybe a little bit over

the top. Sometimes there's always a meaning behind it, um or sometimes I just felt good I wanted to post it. Amen to that and good to have the confidence and just the like, you know what, it's your life, it's your platform, and like people can unfollow you. You're not forcing this, You are not physically forcing that in front of anybody. They choose to follow you, and so they choose to see the photographs um that that you post. What has been like, undoubtedly you've had more positive interaction

and engagement with traditional thirst trapp E type. Have you ever had some really negative engagement or interaction where you've really thought, are reconsidered, like do I really want to be posting this out? Also, you're married, yes, you know you're not single looking for people to slide into your d ms like crazy? Like, how does how does your husband, who's a gem and I can't wait to see him again, tell him some work out? Um? How does he react

to his wife posting what would be first trappy photos? Um? I I never feel like I've crossed the line. I feel like everything that I've done has always been very appropriate, and I always judge it off of my parents. Actually, so if I could post a picture and I know that my parents aren't disappointed in what I'm posting, then it should be fine, Like they're still proud of the

person I am, and I think I do. Sometimes I'll look at women on Instagram and they'll be posting in like a normal bikini top and it's all positive comments. But since I have a larger chest, it then all of a sudden is turned to be vulgar. So I sometimes feel it's unfair that I have to wear certain things to get a different reaction when some girls are praised for wearing the exact same thing I'm wearing. So I never want to change who I am, but I'm never posting it in the intention of I want so

many guys to tell me I'm good looking today. You know, I never do that. It's more just kind of like I feel good about it. I want to post this, and I don't feel like I should be afraid or ashamed in what I'm doing. And it's funny because I actually get probably more unfollowed when I post a thirst trap than if I post like a normal golf video. So it's it's sometimes it doesn't actually help my engagement. It hurts it because they don't even really want to

see that. It's more for myself and feeling confident, feeling sexy and not being afraid to do that. Um and when it comes to like my personal life again, he's very secure with who he is and he knew kind of what he was getting himself into. And I don't think I could ever be with a man who told me you can't post that because I don't want other guys looking at you. I would rather be with a guy who is like, hell, yeah, that is my wife. She's sexy and other guys want her, but she's mine.

And I think that's like the the coolest thing. If a guy can be so confident and secure with themselves that they don't need to make their significant other look worse, so guys don't like them. I never understood that. Yeah, yeah, well good for you. I really appreciate your perspective on it. And obviously you guys have that communication within your relationship, and the relationship is strong enough, and both of you as individuals are strong enough, UM to understand the purpose

of what's going on. UM. And I always find it really interesting. I think the Internet and social media is I think it does so much good truly in the world. It brings awareness and impact and inspiration to so many people.

And then I think it's also on the other side of things are really toxic environment her judgment for opinion for UM conflict, like people like if somebody chooses to follow you page and digest your content to then offer their opinion and and negative opinions, I've never understood how offering negativity serves the world, you know, Like, how why do people take the time to offer that. I've never

understood that. So I actually I love your I think you're very brave, you know, because I know you've done a lot with anti bullying, which has come from UM social media engagement. I'm sure, but UM, changing that narrative empowering women to be confident and strong with their bodies. And also just the fact I appreciate this. And the reason I agreed to do three thirst trap photos today is because this is an area of my life I'm

trying to work on. I always try. I'm sometimes a very serious guy, and I always try and add value, and I just want to go over the top, goof off and just do something so outside of what I would normally do. So for your so, what are what are the three that you're gonna go with? So three that you have to do, I'll give you one. The best advice is if you do a thirst trap, you own the thirst trap. There's nothing worse than someone doing a thirst trap like their booties out and it's like

a gone quote. It's like no, no, no, you own up to it. You're doing the thirst trap and own it. So in your caption you just have to be like, this is my thirst trap. Appreciate it so Page, because I appreciate you so much coming on to talk about this. Tory challenged me to do a thirst trap last week, and so I have done three. I had seven photos to choose from, and I have three that I think are the winners, and I want to run them by you too and ask you what do you think of

my thirst trapping abilities. I shot these photos this morning where it is so we're on Tory. Just put thirst trap number one up on the screen. So well, it's perfect tell us who we're looking at Brooks. Okay, so people, people that are listening, you can go to my Instagram and I'll put this on my Instagram at Brooks. Like so I wanted to do. Okay, we're doing thirst traps right. So I always say anything worth doing is worth overdoing. So I'm gonna do the most trappy of trappy photos.

So here I am. My dog is in the foreground. I'm out in the water with a pair of work pants on. I have no shirt on. And then here's the best part of it. I have a hatchet on my belt, I have a hammer on my belt. I have a knife on my belt, I have a chainsaw in one hand. I have an axe and a sledge hammer in another hand. No shirt on. But the best part is I'm in the water. You would never use any of this stuff in the water. So that is first trap number one. Page Break it down. How was

my first thirst trap I'm blown away. You need to teach me a thing or two about thirst traps, and I love it because with a thirst trap you can do whatever you want. So the fact that you're holding like all of these tools you would never use in that situation make it absolutely perfect. And then the dog just like kind of in the in the you know, right there, it kind of looks like the dog took the picture like gazing at you. You know, there's just so much going on, but I'm just looking at your abs.

So it accomplished what it needs to be accomplished. Also, also, my buddy, my buddy, Hebert Cannon, took this photo for me. Um, oh yeah, I'm gonna ask that's like, does that like self timer? Like how did you? Um? He gave me his sunglasses. They're blender sunglasses. Just look at my sunglasses. They're like party sunglasses too. So when you really zoom in on, like look at that, they just got reflective things like party sunglasses. I hate to break it to you,

but no one's gonna be looking at the sunglasses. So here I am in the water with all these tools. By all those tools are my own tools, and I use those to clean my yard. So it's a authentic in that way, but the fact you would never be in the water with any of those tools. So so for the caption, you should be Do you want to come to my tool shed? Okay, Tory, can you put

up third craft picture number two for page? Uh? And please coach me on this page, like, tell me what I'm doing, want to tell me what I could do better? Here's it's a very bay Watch moment. I'm kind of living for this. Just that kind of slow run out of the water and you're still holding the tools, which makes even better. Yeah, I got all the tools, I'm walking out of the water. This is just a little more in motion. Um, this one I think is just

absolutely hilarious. Maybe I'll use this as like my swipe up one or something because this is this one is just so funny. I think I like the first one better just because I like the dog. It mean, you hit everything that you had to possibly hit in the first one. But this is still good. I like that kind of movement shot you have going. But again, no

one's gonna be looking. You could be holding the most outrageous thing and you're even holding like a birthday cake in one hand, and like something else, another hand, and no one's gonna be looking at anything. They're just looking straight at your abs. Okay, so this one, this one actually looks like um, looks like I'm kind of doing work.

So for this one, I think I might post on my on my Instagram and just put um, just finished up another week's worth t G I F because it's it's so cheesy, like you can never use those in the water. I don't. I'm walking in water with a chainsaw and and a hatchet like its um. So first trap number three, please, Tory just might be my my star Thurst trap. Get ready page. I'm excited. I honestly have no idea what to expect. Oh okay, okay, you have a little hip hop going, so look off into

the distance. This I'm just standing there. This is a total poser photo, saying all the tools, shirtless in the water up to my knees, just pretending like I'm doing work, but there's absolutely no work to be done because I'm in the lake up to my knees. How how long did it take to shoot all these pictures? I talk about four minutes total. How's it jealous? I grabbed a bunch of tools out of my grade stuff that I've been used lately. I'm like Hebrew, We're like, I'm in

North side of Hoole. We're gonna do my I've grown my beard for like four months, so the beard playing well in these photos. Um. I put on my work gloves, I grabbed my tools, and I'm just like, we're gonna do the dumbest thing ever, stand in the water with all these tools, and then we're gonna just trap it. I'm actually gonna be interested in how these pictures do you compare to what you normally post, because obviously this

is very different than your normal type of content. So it would be interesting to see the engagement, the likes in the comments, if it does increase, or if it's kind of like me, where this is not what they want and they're like, give me, give me more dog pictures of workout stuff for you know, it'll be interesting. Got you? So you're saying I potentially might have missed the mark here with this thirst trap. No, No, I think you hit it. You did a good job. We'll see.

So out of the three pictures, UM, page, which picture do you think is my number one? First trap? I like number one the best number one. Yes, I think number one was the best. Tori is shaking her head. Yeah. The dog just really makes it like a Brooks like thirst trap, which is why I like it East. You know, I like the last one best, where you're like knee deep in the water. I don't I don't know that that one really did it for me. The sun's hitting you in a really special way. Page. So you think

number one, I think, yeah, number one. I think it's the ultimate thirst trap because it had everything that you need for a successful picture all in one. I mean, you're shirtless, you have tools, you have a dog, You're what I mean, what else could Okay? Okay, so um, oh my god. So these photos as of this podcast, when this releases, these photos will be out there. And I always tell that's the best one. Yeah, I always tell this to friends. I'm like, just remember that the

Internet is forever. The Internet is forever. And I kept reminding Hebrew that when we were shooting these this morning. I'm like, dude, that's my famous line to tell people the Internet is forever. And here I am doing this right here. So Tori, You're welcome. I love you. This is for you. Page. You're also welcome. I'm trying to level up to page level we need. We need to

get Tori to do a thirst trap. I've been trying to convince her for a while now so that that should be the next thing you guys have to do, right, not challenge you to do one. Let's just your mind. Anyways, onto the next um any before we let you go, any last advice for women or men out there looking to thirst trap, anything you want to say, any any tips, tricks, anything you want that can that can help our community.

Just trap. Yeah, if you're a guy, definitely just do some push ups before you take the picture, try to pump up a little bit, maybe run around, get like a nice little listen and then for a girl, I mean it's it depends again. If you have a male audience, just wear a nice low gut or if you have a nice fruity or some good leggings. Um, and if

you have more female audience, just look nice. I'm so envious of women with female audiences because they're just gonna look like so posh and perfect and I'm just like in like a baseball cap all the time, just like, Okay, let's go play some golf. So but no, just have fun with it. I think own it. Owning it is the most important thing because what is the most sexiest thing ever, and that's confident. So if you have confidence, it's going to turn out great. And I'm happy you

finally learned what a thirst trap is. It's a big part of my life, so I'm glad we're sharing that to everyone else right now. I'm so excited about it too, because this is a new ventum for me. I've posted these on my Instagram and it's like me stepping out and doing something and it's just completely ridiculous, funny and lighthearted and I just I can't wait to see what people engage with.

Look at he's just looking fantastic here on this zoom call already see him up here sec the our how men

think listeners. We have a large female community and they voted you as the most first trappy man Instagram Harry, how are you? That is my favorite title. I'm so proud of that. Thank you guys so much. Buddy, you are welcome. I must say I watched every single episode of Too Hot to Handle? You are you? Landed a beautiful Canadian girl. I'm a Canadian, so my heart goes to you. Man, you pick one of my fellow Canadians. I love it. Um, but Harry, give us a little.

So the conversation today is about thirst traps. Give a little like context on your life prior to Too Hot to Handle and now your life post Too Hot to Handle and how your thirst traps are just going viral all over Instagram. I honestly think I've toned my thirst traps down so much. When I had ten thousand followers, like I was in my yes in the mirror getting them meet out, just begging for a pension. And now I feel like I'm way more wholesome, way more well rounded.

Like the photo of Francesca, I like, it took me so long to convince to let me post that, and I was like, it looks it's gonna do amazing, Like let's try to break the internet today, like come on, um, and I was like you look like insane in it. So, yeah, one where your heads laying on her bosom on her butt. That Yeah. Yeah, that was a good day. That was a lot of fun. Yeah, man, So so tell me about this. So before Too Hot to Handle, you were at what how many followers? I was at like one

one before, so obviously you were. You were stirring up some some fire on social media prior to Too Hot to Handle, and then after Too Hot to Handle came out on Netflix, the explosion just started. Half. Yeah, it was. It was crazy. I think my biggest day that I grew it was like five hundred dozen followers in one day, and the next day it was like three hundred dozen.

And that was when I posted the video with Francesca, and that's got like twenty six million views, which is like it just doesn't feel real, Like I look at it and I'm like, I don't know if I should be proud or like, wait it out that like banging people like seeing this like I don't know how to feel. Yeah, how do you deal with So it's interesting to me that you've toned down the thirst trappiness after the show.

Is it because you're now in a relationship and you're like, oh, I want to I want to approach this differently where you single before and You're like, I'm just throwing this out there. That's gonna get like some clicks and d ms like crazy. Well I think, um, like me and Francesco boats both like you said, just go crazy with those traps, and I think now she's like she got mad at me for posting like a shower like a towel selfie like I was like, I look good. She's

like that shouldn't be on the internet. And like Francesca like she's like, we're way more wholesome, Like it's weird. So when I'm scrolling your program or your profile, I know the photo you're talking about. You post it. You put thirst trap Thursday, right, yeah, yeah, so I know it. So I was like, oh, brother has been doing it here.

Do you find that those do you find that those just get like the most engagement, the most clicks, the most like like what is is it just that you feel confident with your body and you want to share it and inspire people? Like what do you are? You just goofing off like this is this is Instagram. I'm just messing around to it. Um, like There was a lot of thought that went into that photo. Like I picked up the mirror from the living room, I brought it into the show. I made sure that once I

was in the shower, I didn't drive myself off. So I was a little bit wet um. There was a lot that went into that, like I tested the lighting everything. But when I post, like when I post these photos, I just like, I don't like, I always feel good like it. I don't know, it is a bit like attention seeking, but I always find that like when I get that validation from people saying like, oh you look good, or Francesco saying you look amazing, like, it makes me

want to keep going and like keeping my journey. It's always it's always good to feel good, especially from millions of strangers on the internet. You know under that my man um do you have do you currently have? Well? First off, I want to ask this question first for our guys that are listening to the show that want to be better. First trappers want to drive that engagement and just get maybe get the attention of ladies or a man or whatever. What are your like top three

tips for a thirst trap. As a man, I always think that if you feel confident, like if you feel amazing about yourself, just do it. Like who cares what anyone says, Like just like no matter what you look like, you're someone's perfect person. So like get your shirt off, your pants off, maybe you keep them on. I don't

know if you've got only fans, do whatever. But like I always think that just if you feel confident and you feel happy, you look happy, there's should be nothing stopping you from doing whatever the whatever the hell you want.

Like my my my biggest tip as well, when like if you're dude and you're taking a photo like in the mirror, I always like have my phone up a little bit and tilted forward so much like it's illusion so my chest looks bigger, like I'm skinny, so that when you do that, your chest looks bigger, you get more of what people are after. But like, don't go too crazy, don't crop your head out of it. People want the full experience. It's just like when sending nudes,

like people just want to see the full experience. You don't just go bang on the on the long like you want to do the whole everyone's hit for the the whole journey, right, I will I will agree with you that I like because sometimes bathrooms have a mirror not mounted flush on the wall. It's mounted with a little angle forward. Just it gives a little different perspective. And sometimes you can look in that mirror you're like, damn,

I'm jack, I'm looking good today. It's just it's given you a little it's like a nice little wind that's your back. Yeah, it's so, it's the science of the science of first traps. So did you so? Okay? So that's one. Be confident to hold it up a little bit tilted forward, a little bit in the mirror. So that makes you your six pack, your chest, makes everything look better. Um. What's your third one? What's one other one?

That maybe if guys are sitting there in the bathroom or wherever they're trying to self bee um or is it just like a thirst trap doesn't have to be yourselfie in the bathroom in a tower. I don't know, it doesn't. It honestly doesn't need to be like you could you could be anywhere. You could be in your in your car, on your couch. But I always think, like, if you like what I said, So Christian usually takes

my shirt this little takes all my Instagram photos. So I always say to him, like, you just have to be a little bit gay for me, like tell me what looks hot like if you were if because our romance is probably right on the line, right. So I'm like, you need to tell me what will get you going if you would get and he's just like, perfect, Okay, so this is what you need to do. So get

a friend like that. If you're not comfortable with your friends in that sense, then whatever, Like um, but I always think that having like a third party or someone who can like push you along the way. But if you're also taking mirror selfie and you're not feeling that confident, maybe like put a toothbrush in your mouth, like making a bit of fun, like do a weird bace or

just like maybe just from it. But in the caption, never take away, like never be like like I was like, I've got a rather large left nipple, like, don't distract people from your thirst trap, Like always make it like something fun and keep it fun and be confident. Yeah, I love it. I love it. It's so page. We had paigeren A on who is the world's most followed golfer on social media, beautiful woman, she's married, um, professional athlete,

professional golfer, And that's what she said too. She said, be confident and own it, don't You don't put it up there with any hesitance to be like, yeah, I'm doing this, whether it's like I look good today, I feel good today, or just like hey guys, I'm goofing around and I did a stupid shot and this is

the caption for it. Yeah, have you ever gone too far with a third trap where you've put it up on the internet and you're like, oh, dear god, that was that was maybe a little far I'm showing too Yeah, I mean, like borderline, my cat's gotta be taking down like I've gone full on, like side small under so you can see everything every vein. I was like eighteen.

They're like this is kinda like I'm gonna go viral here, and then I'm like, look like it's vulgar, Harrison, like it's it's been taking down three times, like it shouldn't be on the internet. And I don't know where the photo is, but it's probably around. Have you have you seen a lot of this stuff resurfacing since you're too hard to handle? Theme? Yeah, like, all right, so I haven I did my first ever photo shoot. I think

I was like eighteen nineteen. I was trying to figure out like modeling right, and um, I don't know what was normal. I don't know what was going on. So it was like like the guy was just like, yes, you close, like let's go. So like his photo with me with a rose and my bomb in the back,

just Harry, you gotta say this to men. It's honestly like it's he just reposted it on his Instagram and like my my new friends in our just the screenshot and they keeps sending it and I'm like, yeah, I get it, Like I don't know what was going on. I was just getting my cheeks out, like it's okay. What is the what is the question for you? Because you're now in a in a committed relationship with Francesca,

what do you think of her thirst trapped photos? If she's a very beautiful woman as well, when she posts a photo that's very sexy or very attractive, what do you feel when she posts that? And what does she feel when you post one that you know is going to get some heat? Um? So I think me and here a little bit different like but both very like massively supportive. But now that I've got like a few more followers and a lot more attention, like the photo of me uh in the town of my Instagram, she

was furious and a bit of an argument. I'm like, I'm gonna show you, like I'm gonna post this ship iss you off, so like that was like like I was just being toxic. But when I don't care, like she so hot, like go like get those thirst trips that get those lacks, get those comments, like let's go like she looks lit like I couldn't be She'll send me a photo and I'm like, fucking post that yesterday, like come on, get it on the internet. He looks

so good. Um, yeah, I'm gonna be more supportive. Like I don't get like I understand that guys being insecure or people being insecure about stuff like this, but if they're your partner or your best friend or like in a relationship with you, they should just be like that is my girl, Like come on, though, you're looking lit, like, let's show it off, Like who cares what anyone thinks? Um, You're on fire? So yeah, I love it, man, I

love it so much, So Harry. One of the first reasons why this whole topic came up is because I had I was asking Brooks the best way to d M a guy to get the attention without feeling like I'm feeding into the thirst but also grasping a man's attention. So what's the best way to respond? You post a picture, you know, I told Brooks, there's like the fiery emoji, but you want to stand out? So how can girls stand out? On like sliding into the dns? So I have.

So I've been hit with one real recently which was

really good. Um, like obviously I can't reply it, but like, um, she sent me the post and then like answered the question or like said something about it, which I thought was hilarious and I was like, too bad, sill you go along, d end um, But I like always a winner is like so everyone's like everyone is so self absorbed, like everyone loves himself, right, So the best thing to do is like asking a question about themselves, or like reply to a story and be like, oh my god,

like how do I sit on that face? You know, something like sorry? But like I always find if you ask a question about them or something like that, or like if you're me and you're super weird. Like I always be like hello, my little butter chicken or hollo, your national treasure. UM, always work. Harry the girl saying it, I don't know if you said it to me. This takes on phone like I'm reply, dude, I love you, man, I love you you on. I knew you had trust this.

I love watching you in the show you have you. I will say this, you are brazen. You are bold. I have a huge admiration for that. Um. From a guy's perspective, Let's say a girl, our producer, Tori, is currently single. Let's say Tori is going to like throw out a thirst trap. What are you looking forward flashback to your single days, because you're not looking at thirst traps the way you do now or now the way

you did then. Now you're in a relationship. But um, when you were single, what was like, who if a girl do it through a thirst trap like this? What are like some of the that's things that you saw that you were looking for as a guy. Oh that's good. I always feel like if it's like well lit um, you know, like sometimes you can be like a little bit too sultreat um, which is completely fine, but by all means, but you want to make it like a fun first trap, you know, don't be like popping titties

out or anything like that. Maybe if you wanted to like Julia Rose, I mean, if you've seen her Instagram, she's like constantly thirst traps, like she's crazy, Like she's like, we'll be on a plane with just like fingers over her nipples. Like that's probably I reckon go on her Instagram and then work back from that. But like this chicks the extreme, Like she's probably gonna get banned on Instagram and we're gonna work backwards. So we'll go Julia Rose,

fingers over nipples. Okay, what can we do? Maybe we'll go whole hands over titties. Yeah, there we go. See I'm on your Instagram. That's very trappy. I've never heard of, uh, this woman before, but very trappy. Yeah, like she's she's everywhere, like she's going up. But I think the biggest goal

would be to get that work back from there. Um. But I would also like send it to your friends for approval, like if you've got really good friends, like a lot of people have friends, Like I always send my stuff to Christian and like yo, like all the boys, like the boys group chat like is it is this? What's up? Like is this? Is this the source? And then they'll just be like yeah, we're on, like it's game time. So I think like especially girls, like girls

are way more comfortable. So you just Um, so I've had a coffee. I'm really excited, Harry, Harry, you can send me those thirst traps. I'll help you approve those. You'll never get a note for me. I'm like, oh yeah, put that net out there, run that yeah. Yeah, I'll be your biggest advocate. Bro. If you ever like insecure? Does this look good? Oh yeah, Harry, just run that out there, get it out there, let's go. Let's go.

People what they want every time, every time. I think confidence is everything really, like if you if you're glowing, like people can tell like when you're glowing, and like when you're feeling good. So like go ahead and get a bit of a tan, bronze up, a bit good for a run, feel fantastic, and then just get those kiddies out on the ground. Oh oh man, Um, what other have what other advice do you have? Um? Because like I told Page previously told us, like as a

woman seeking a man's thirst trap. She's like, she wanted to see like your dog. She wanted to see something that made her go oh like like huh, like a scent more sensitive side of him versus just a guy with big muscles. In the sixth Paths married, He's Page is married, She's like, don't listen to page. Yeah, so Page is married, so don't listen to page. So the single game is different from the married gates. So the single game is just put the smoke in the fire

out there now. Well, like I understand Paige's perspective because she's married, and that's what she wants. You wants to see a man with a dog, maybe you know, out the front outside of a really nice house with this shut off. That's probably her idea of a thirst trap. Whereas like, if you're in your twenties and your single, you're not really wanted to settle Downd. You just want to you know, get on, get on someone and climb

them like a tree. Then you know, lads like honestly like jim Sel coffee Jims like in in the bed, you know, like I used to have a fold, like I get my one of my good friends is um gad like, bro, send me everything, like, send me what I need to do, Like if if you're ladding, you've got a gay best friend, the best secret weapon you could ever have, the thirst traps. Honestly, like bom, I've got like an army of gay friends and I just go look, find me everything and I'll do it. And

that's how sad insture. I love you. I love this. This is awesome, so fun. Oh man, Uh, I also want to ask you, like how hard was too hard to handle? Like you and Francesco were like just dying to bite at each other. You know, we're watching this thing. How hard was it to keep your hands off of each other during that? Whoa Like honestly, like it was

like I was very hard and it was. It was such a such a really hard experience, um with Francesca until we finally did the date and I was so relieved and like it was it was crazy because I've never met a woman that gorgeous and a woman that's actually like tripped me up, Like when I first saw her and she came down like this wasn't in, this was cut out. I'm probably get in trouble talking about it. But when she came down like I couldn't talk to it, like she was just like I was shaking, like I

legitimately I was like or the first thing. I was like, oh, you're nervous, and she's like no, and I'm like cool, just walk away like I was trying to get away from it. She was just way too like she was She's a like incredible and I would like to, oh, do you wanna do you want a drink? And she's like sure. I was shaking so much I couldn't pour her drink, so I gave it to Shrine. I was like, get her a drink, bro, like she's thirsty, come on,

Like I just couldn't. I couldn't talk to her, and I just kept trying to go to the other table because it was just it was crazy. So then once I found out that she was interested in me and that like I'm not the ugly duff thing, I was like, oh, like I was so taken back, and then you know, things are a little bit he did, and at that point I was just seeing red. I was like, I need we need to have sex to know how we feel, Francesco, and she's like, I don't know if that's how that works.

I was like, it is a fact. And then the Book of Facts, open it up, page forty four. He how we do it up in Canada? Brother? Yeah I was, I was said back, and I was like, man, I was such a let's see it red wow. Yeah. But that the whole format of the show Man. It was fun to watch. It was great. It was great entertainment to watch. Um. I'm happy you guys are doing well, my man. Um, thank you so much for Sharon. I think we gotta have you back on. Like I oh, Tori,

So one one thing, Harry. Today I did my first ever thirst trap? Did I did? I just heard the concept two weeks ago. Tori told me about it two weeks ago. I'd never heard of it. So I was like, I'm going to do a thirst trap. I'm gonna go over the top on this thirst trap. Do you want to see it? Yeah? That's good, out and everything. Let's do the top two that page picks. We'll do the one that Easton liked and the one that page like. Okay,

here's two thirst traps. I just shot these. This is my connotation of what I believe it all right, already throwing up on the screen, maybe maybe time, I'll just text it to you, Harry. Oh, that's exactly what I was thinking that. I was like, if you don't have in my head of like, if this guy isn't holding an axe, I'm gonna be sad. So I don't know if I can swear it, but that's exactly what I envisioned. I was like, my boy's gonna have an axe. Yeah,

that's let's go and post it. I'm gonna come in so ax, I've got an axe, sledgehammer, I've got a knife on my belt, a hammer on my belt, a hatchet on my belt, and a chainsaw. Look. I can imagine women are got to be looking at that be like this guy, I can't chop my tree down any day in a week. Here's my dog in the foreground and the same thing. The funny thing is, I got all these tools and I'm standing in water, So you

would never use these tools in water. That's the contradiction of Like, that's why I think it's such a good thirst trap, because it's just a desperate photo. It just really this thing is it doesn't have to make sense. It doesn't like I see it. Really, it really does not have to make sense. If you're getting your kid off. Um, you know you could capture that that Both of those photos need to be on the interday. I think you

know the caption for I actually don't. Actually I don't know when to capture it, but it should be something funny, like you capture Harry if I'm running this out one of Um, has anyone got to knock? I was just thinking of, like just something ridiculous, like, um, just completed another hard day's work, you know t V I F because it's like it didn't work. But you need to, um, you need to ask a question, be like, ah, this is bad, be like, um, has anyone seen my log?

Or should I lose? Did I lose it? In you? Um so vulgar, you're probably gonna get banned off today. This is why I would be a social media manager. But I think you definitely need to ask a question. Um, but I just don't know what it is, right, So, UM, okay, you definitely think I should throw those out there, But like aga, instant carousel bright the way, Yeah, instant carousel, That's what I was gonna put three on there. So, um, we have one other one there that was voted number three.

But those were the top two choices. Um, Harry, my man, I appreciate it for our listeners that. Um, if you haven't seen Harry on Too Hot to Handle on Netflix, you gotta watch it. You and francesc are stars of the show. I loved your journey. Um, absolutely loved you on there. But where do you hang out on social media? Where can they catch your Thursday thirst traps? Um? It is honestly just Harry Jazzy everywhere. So my last name is a little bit weird's j O W s e

y Um. So yeah, well you can find me probably on a provocative website where the old traps candy found probably meant that somewhere. How are you like in l A my brother. It's it's good, It's really good. I really want Francesca. It is amazing people. Um that everyone school, just everyone is so much fun. Everyone And the coolest thing is like everyone I've met here is doing something in some way, shape or form, which is really cool.

Which is really inspiring because back from my hometown, like everyone kind of just graduate high school, go to university and it goes goes back to the hometown does whatever. So like coming here and there's like you'll meet a singer. It is. It is massively successful YouTuber porn star. You don't know. Everyone's different, So it's great. L A is. L A is a place of opportunity. You can literally make circumstances in the world. There's so many inspiring, energetic, empowering,

entrepreneurial people. Um. And so I'm in Idaho right now. L A is home for me. I'm up in my lake house up in Idaho. But I'll be back in a couple of weeks. My man, when Francesca comes down, let her know she's got a Canadian friend down to come say hi. I'd love to actually meet you guys in person. Just huge fans of you from the show. Uh, and welcome to l A. My brother, your life never get to the same. It's I love it. I think it's let you traps um. Oh yeah, can we go

You've been doing this break into Harry and Brooks break the Internet trap. Oh dear God, So I trying to get my dat out we'll get it like a couple of axes and stuff and and maybe hit a tree. Okay, maybe hit a tree. Brother, Thank you so much, Harry.

We have Dmitri, we got Rick, and we got Ryan with us, and we just had a conversation of about thirst trapping. And I can't be staring at three more thirst trap worthy. Yeah. I know, I almost did this with my shirt off, but I figured that'd be too tough for Ryan. You like, so we got Dmitri, We've got Ryan, and we got Rick. Ryan, you look like you're in the garage. You're doing a workout out there. I am in the garage. I have the two and a half year old taking a napp right now, so

this is my safe place. Oh, I thought maybe you were doing your push ups out there, ready to just show off of the packs on this thirst trap edition of How Men Think m M. I got my working on this morning, Brooks. Thank you, though, I appreciate it. Rick, What about you? Rick? How are you doing? Brother? Like Rick? Rick doesn't look like he knows that we're on a live call right now. No, I think he's I don't

think he's got his headphones plugged in. He's got wireless headphones, but they're actually they still need to wait, Rick, you got me? I think? Okay, dude, done it? What's up? Good sirs? Um. So we just had a conversation about thirst traps, Tori producer. Tori just told me this concept two weeks ago, Dmitri, I feel like you've known about this concept for like years. I've known about this concept because I followed your Instagram. What do you mean, what

do you mean you've just found out about it? You've doing it forever. So that's apparently that's what I found out too, is apparently I've been thirst trap in Foreveruar. But have you guys heard the exact specific term thirst trap prior to this conversation right now? Yes, yes, Yeah, there's my man Rick. He hasn't heard heard any So Ryan and Dmitri, you have heard about thirst traps? When did you hear about it? And how did you hear

about it? Um? I guess I heard about it probably like last summer when people started posting like kind of over the top shelfies thirst traps basically, and somebody said and people will start to comment like, oh, this is just the thirst trap. Oh, you're looking for attention. And so obviously when I hear a term I don't know, I go straight to the Urban Dictionary and I read up on it. Yeah, Ryan, when did you hear thirst trap?

I think? Correct me if I'm wrong. There's a trend on Instagram which is like thirsty Thursday, when it's that's the safe day of the week where you can post a thirst trap and not be ridiculed for it. I think that's when I first heard about it. Oh, dear God, we think I've never heard of that's just when you drink, do I have heard? Yeah, and Thursday. I've heard a Thursty Thursday, but not a Thurst trap. Oh, Tori, have

you heard get it? Yeah? Thursty Thursty Thursdays like when you post a Thurst trap, but you don't really have a caption for it, but you're kind of calling yourself out for posting it. But you're just kind of like, alright, a morning at Thursty Thursday. But now Thurst traps are

like seven days a week, so it's Thursty Thursday. Is kind of it's just a green light for somebody who throw out a provocative and sexy pick, for instance, saying you're doing box jumps in your driveway right and you got your shirt off, and then you wanted to stop and post the video saying I want to work out. I'm having a contest that that's a that's a NonStop there's trap. It's so so I did some thirst trap

shots this morning. Gents, I did look at Ryan. He's like, no, I'm like that the are you acting as if that's the first time over the weekend you did your thing with your buddy where your shirtless going into the really cold water. Oh here we go, my shirts off, my abs. That was actually we just crushed the workout that would bury you. And then we went into the lake that you came the toe into workout that would crush Ryan. Come on, So for you guys, have you ever done

a thirst trap? Do you do you think you've ever like done a thirst trap? Or if you were to do a thirst trap, what would you do? Well, I've got a high powered fan on me right now to kind of give me a wind blow and look is it working. Yeah, the hair looks great. The hair is slowing right. It's high depth screen I got here. I just could just see a little bit of it. Ryan,

what would you go with for your thirst trap photo? Well, I did I due diligence as you would expect from me, and I went through your Instagram Brooks, and I rather take this time to talk about some of the pitfalls

that you've personally encountered in the thirst trap space. The first of which is the candid shot, when you act as if it's completely candid and you're just looking off into the distance and someone just so happened to take this photo of you your bent over, dripping in sweat the sun and the light is glistening off your completely shirtless body. You do that a lot. That's a thirst trap,

like big time. The other one is like you'll post something where you're shirtless and then coda, your dog is in the front in the picture, and you do a caption as if you're posting this to say I just love Khoda, and it's like, there you go, that's great. Well do you have a you have a trainsaw in the lake? There's no tree. Site's screensaver. I love them. I love that Ryan's in his garage right now looking like a hostage, because he's clearly a hostage in the

shadow of Brooks. So you want to know that what's that knife thing attached your belt? That thing is pretty hardcore. So here's thirst trap number one photo from today. I just took it this morning. My buddy Hebrew took this morning. So um Tory just put it up on the screen first to see Look at Ryan, he's studying it. He's just like, oh man, damn, that's that's gonna be my new background. He's touching a screen like it's brail, Like he's trying to feel your raps. Hey, So what So

what would you say about this picture? Like, obviously you did this as a as a thirst trap intent, yes, but if you were to try and play it off like it's not what would you say is happening in this photo? Just another day of work? Right? I couldn't. I couldn't guess what your job is if that's a

day at work. That's the beauty of standing in the water with the chainsaw, hatch and I have a a knife and axe and the sled, Brooks something earnest that's like, I just love getting outdoors and connecting with nature or something like that. You're like, oh, and you had to be shirtless for that. I have a question. I have a question. What is the point of a thirst chap photo? I mean, is it is it to attract somebody something? What's get people to realize that you look good and

to also get a complement. So you're kind of but it isn't that what social networks doing anyway? You would post something on there anyway, right? I mean here's my question, Brooks, Like you do you when you post things typically like how how much are you? You're wearing long pants in a lake? Jean saw barefoot man Osha would be not proud of you. No, no shirt with long pants. I have no idea what the weather is like? That broke um? I know it's story. Did you put the other one

up on the screen? I'm trying to get my screen back here. We did we are on the one of you and the water. Nice little toe point at the end of it. It actually looks like you're walking on water. I'm walking out of the water. That one, yes, okay, so action shot. You just did some underwater chainsaw and the third one right now, See that's just like just complete another hard weeks of work. T G. I f run that driftwood totally. Yeah, there's definitely would in this.

Let's think of a name that we can actually where's the wood? We need a tagline? Dude, how about this cutting somewhood. There's not a single piece of wood that I could chop down. Um. So this was my over the top first troup. This is how I viewed thirst traps anyway. Yeah, I challenge you men. I challenge Rick, Dmitri and Ryan to do your best first trap. I challenge you. I sacrifice myself. I'm a sacrificial lamb here for this show. For the how many podcast? Rick, I

knew you'd be in speeding. Let's go speed over whatever speed alright, alright a man, Yes, Dmitri and then Ryan. I I envisioned Ryan. I can't wait to see what you do, but I envision you going like more more of like ron Burgundy with a glass of scot I agree, except I think it's gonna be like a drink with an umbrella as opposed to Scotch. How much time when you post everything on Instagram? I mean you're the You're

the king of posting your workout stuff. How much time do you spend looking at your body and deciding, oh, I you know, I don't think I look good enough in this one? And and this follow up question to that is, are you familiar with face tune? And do you ever touch up your own photos before you put them up on Instagram? So to touch on both of those, one, I am familiar with face tune. Two, I have never downloaded it or ever used it. But I do love

editing photos. Everybody knows that I love photography. It's a huge passion of mine. So any photo that you see on Instagram has probably been edited by me. Just make brighter or change something like this. These photos here, these third strap photos are super edited. They aren't just coming out of the camera like that. They're super so. Yeah, I added like an extra pack on the apps or something like that. Yeah, turn the extra out, the contrast up.

You can do certain things within light room to like make things just boom, like jump off the screen. Um, but I've never used face tune. Um. And then the first part like sometimes um, if we're doing a workout, like a lot of times I'll have a can intent person there because we'll be filming something for YouTube, or a buddy will be over working out. My buddy Corey comes and work out. He's a professional, his career is

an adventure photographer. So he'll just when I'm working out, take some snaps and then we'll just look at like he'll just go and then we'll pick one of seven shots that he took, um, and then just post the workout with it. So honestly, to answer your question, honestly, Ryan, like twenty to thirty seconds of just looking through about five to six pictures, picked the one, and I like take a minute to edit it and then it's up there.

I still want to get back to what the purposes of posting a splash hit or whatever it's called splash pick pick what is it? Trap? So you got a thirst trap right here underneath my arm? So Rick, here is here is the Urban Dictionary definition of a thirst trap, set photograph or flirty message posted on social media for the intent of causing others to profess their attraction. And the thirst trap is set when these crushes post a suggestive photo or video and wait for you to engage

with it. So you're chumming the water, my man, You're like hey, So then they post another one on there and then that starts to dialogue hopefully. No, No, you're young. Let's rewind like two or three years, Rick and your centuries. You're young. It's just a couple of years back. Right. You're you're on the water polo team. You're crushing your water polo captain, look good in the speedo and you're just like boom, you know, just finished practice today, just

in my speed Or here's a shot. You're just fishing, your trolling for bites. Here you're just like date for this weekend. I'm gonna put this out there and women or men are gonna like comment and like on it and slide into your d M. That's my text trap. And it can also be it's wanting praise without acknowledging that you're wanting praise and for people to tell you that you're amazing and you're hot and you're all of these things. And suddenly just putting it out there as

if you're not seeking any validation in return. So again I would reference Brooks's Instagram. I mean, I see this Brooks. Is the beard a thirst trap in a way, like did you grow that out? Hoping people would say, oh my god, you look so amazing with the beard. I love the beard, keep the beer. No, I grew it. It was probably I agrew it for like maybe two months, two and a half, three months, and then it was the longest I've ever had it, and then the quarantine

then the whole social distancing fit thing hit. So then, um, then I came up to Idaho and I'm like, I'm social distancing. This is the longest I've ever had my beard. I'm kind of just curious to see how long it will go and how it feels, and just out of curiosity. So I've actually trimmed my beard. Um, but I just I only have it because it's the longest I've ever had it. It just ends up playing really well in

this photo. Okay, one follow up question, the photos that you have been known to put out on your Instagram of you shirt list, shirtless after a workout or what have you do you after it's posted, get satisfaction looking into the amount of likes that you're getting and the comments to see people saying, oh my god, you you have such a great body, or oh you're so hot. No, it's not really, because I know I do so it's

only when Gavin comments. I gotta tell you, I I thought these pictures work because I find myself without even realizing, I started writing a comment to brooksman like, man, you're so hot, and wait, what am I doing? I have an idea because Brooks challenge us to all do our wet picks or whatever they're called, sorry, thirst track, But then we do our separate ones, and then Brooks does want of them. We try to make it the exact same. I don't have that or how men think podcast web.

You don't have a chainsaw. I don't have anything that can get me close to Brooks's photo. I don't have two axes. I don't have a chainsaw. I don't have a giant lake. I don't have a twelve pack. I mean so, so we had page are We had page Rena on earlier who who executes thirst traps amazingly well? She said, guys don't have to post pictures of their abs um or their butt or their biceps to thirst trap a woman. Um, she said, you can post a picture of your dog. You can post a picture of

you cooking or baking something that makes her go. But the one you want of us. You want us to be in it, obviously because you want to be able to see us. Yeah, I want you to be in it. But however you view a thirst trap, I want you to shoot a thirst trap how you view it, Like I could I could see Gavin doing like a purple turtleneck playing the piano with a glass of Scotch on

the piano, Like that could be a thirst trap. You know, however you view a thirst trap, I want you to do your best thirst trap and then we'll put them out to the how men think listeners and let them vote on them. It sounds like I will say that Brooks. When Danielle did a takeover of Brooks's thirst trap photos. It has the most number of likes on your guys Instagram page. So thirst trap works really So to answer your question from earlier, Ryan, any any like shirtless pictures

or workout stuff doesn't get really hardly any engagement. Um, if I just post a picture of my dog five times more engagement, just my dog, like it's just it's just But I don't but I think you're not. It's not rare to see you without a shirt on on your Instagram. So it's not like a novelty where someone's gonna be like, whoa look at this, like and this is I know it's gonna sound like a dig, but it's not. You work out a lot, and you work

out without your shirt and so you post that. So I think people have seen your abs and everything funny. So it's not like someone's gonna overreact and be a comment just because you're without a shirt. So I think when they see something different from you, I think I think a chainsaw on a lake. You know that brings up some comments, maybe not all good ones, but my god, I can't wait to see. I'm so excited to see what you guys do for thirst traps. All three of

you guys are married. I can't wait to see. You've probably never participated in the thirst trap game because when social media came around, you're already married or in relationships. So um, I can't wait to see what you come up with for a thirst trap. Ryan Rick Dmitri Eastern Tory. I love you all. You have one week from today to execute your thirst trap photo, and we are putting it out to the how men Think listeners and also from the how men Think community. We want to hear
