On this week's episode, J.Mix chats with New Orleans singer + entertainer, Mic Ventress, about the privileges and downfalls of being a physically attractive person. They begin their discussion commenting on if they are "fazed or unfazed" about the outcome of the recent swinger's convention that came to the city during the pandemic. Both also recall moments in their life when they fell out of attraction for someone they once fancied. J.Mix lays the stats on the table about the advantages of being pretty in association with quality of life. They wrap-up the convo giving advice to a poly listener who is overcoming insecurity due to their partner dating someone else who they perceive more attractive than them.

Other things discussed: How "the tipping system" benefits attractive people,  J.Mix's questionable college crush, Mic's encounters with obsessive fans, Importance of not shaming kids for how they look, Importance of confidence and self-love, Mic sings HBD to J.Mix!
