What is "cool" to you? Are women more attracted to cool guys? I don't think it matters as much to men whether a lady is cool, but maybe that's just me. Sigh, I don't think I've ever been considered cool.

Have you been spying on my DMs? Was just talking about the Fonz!
 
I think each generation has a different definition of what cool means to them.

I've never been cool.

I don't know how to be cool.

:unknw:
 
Cool means never to dwell on mistakes, keep your head up high and look directly to their eyes and say. I screwed up but I will never do it again. I am too smart for that.
 
I agree with Poirot, I think you are cool Bolty:)
I think cool= confident:) Someone who is comfortable in their own skin and who has no need or desire to be like anyone other than themself:)
 
I'll tell you what is not cool. Sorry to hijack your thread pal.

[h=1]Uncle Sam goes for gold, too: Up to $9,900 per Olympic gold medal[/h]
Michael Phelps swims fast, but not fast enough to beat Uncle Sam, who awaits him at the finish line each time he wins a medal. His total income tax bill for the 2016 Games? Up to about $55,000 for his five golds and one silver.
Olympic athletes who bring home medals also bring home cash — $25,000 for gold, $15,000 for silver and $10,000 for bronze — paid for by the United States Olympic Committee. Like any prize winner, from a jackpot hitter to a Nobel Prize recipient, the athletes are taxed because Olympic medals and cash bonuses are considered income, said Steven Gill, associate professor of accounting at San Diego State University.

The maximum possible "victory tax" on the bonus for each gold medal, using the top tax rate of 39.6% for the nation's highest earners, is $9,900, according to Americans for Tax Reform. For silver, it's $5,940, and for bronze it's $3,960. Athletes in lower tax brackets would owe less — and keep in mind that some or all of their massive training expenses would likely be deductible, whether they treat their sport as a business or a hobby.
The medals themselves are taxed, too, but they're not as valuable as their shiny goodness may appear. Based on the commodity prices of the metals involved, gold is worth in the neighborhood of $600, silver about $300 and bronze next to nothing. What they'd go for on the open market is much higher, easily $10,000 or more, but that's , according to tax expert Blake Christian, partner at Holthouse Carlin & Van Trigt.
