The "flat cap" exemplifies "powerless attire," garment which make the wearer look powerless. Though or perhaps because flat caps have been worn for centuries, so very few individuals realize how it really affects the appearance of the individual who wears one, the way others treat him, his identity and his self-concept. The history of the flat cap is very telling. It began to be worn in Northern England after a 1571 Act of Parliament decreed that on Sundays and holidays, all males over 6 years of age, except for the nobility and "persons of degree", were to wear woollen caps on pain of a fine of three farthings (3/4 penny) per day. The flat cap became firmly entrenched as a recognized mark of a non-noble subject, such as a burgher, tradesman, or apprentice. Police or military officer's caps have the elevation in the front and make the individuals who wear them look powerful.

Get the Covert Intent Word mug.Romantic relationships are a business—because each party is trying to get the most for the least, a negotiation, and a can culminate in a partnership where both parties reproduce themselves by having children.
C.M. Fabara realized that contradicting the prevailing understanding of what romantic relationships and love are, romance is really a business where the man and the woman both work to get the most they can by giving the least to the other person. Of course, sometimes participants in a romantic relationship "fall in love" and start giving the most they can to the other person. However, their purpose is always to get the most in return. Also, keep in mind that love is basically need. And the way it works is by making individuals feel love for someone they calculate will be able to and will satisfy one or more of their needs, such as sex, protection, connections, etc.
