Didn’t think this was douchey. I genuinely didn’t know this and appreciate you sharing it
It’s amazing how many people in my city are interested in having deep discussions about hair.
Hey, do you wanna appear on my podcast about icebergs? It only has a few listeners - the polar bears. But you tell me if I can break the ice.
Sounds like an ice breaker to me. Use that as a keyword of you’re interested in finding some.
