I’m trying this out tonight
What I find most intriguing about a thirst-trap is that they're not as obvious as one would think. Sure, you can keep it simple and post your nips on the 'gram like Kim K.
But the real genius is found in ~innocent~ thirst trapping that's completely non-threatening. And that's what makes it soooo threatening! Journey with me into this trend and let's try it out.
It's all about channeling that 'Who, me?!' vibe
It's critical to look like you're just laying around the house, draped in an oversized sweater or sweatshirt. You know in movies when they show the not-definitely-Katherine-Heigl-but-probably-Katherine-Heigl heroine looking "disheveled" and you're like, "Who actually looks like that when they've just been dumped by whatever sentient leather jacket is playing opposite her?!"
Yeah, that's the look!
But you've gotta shoot it in the bedroom like you're about to start an amateur camming site
A clean bedroom, please! And here's the thing: while we all routinely wear sweaters with full faces of makeup (movie theaters are cold!), when you factor in a mirror and a carpet, issa traaap!
An off-the-shoulder slip makes you seem vulnerable
But that's how we lure in the men to kill them. Or have sex with them, whatever. I know, I know — how can anyone possible be turned on by a shoulder? But men are stupid. Just think about how high schools don't even let kids wear leggings because a fabric-clad thigh is distracting to their 40-year-old math teachers.
But the best move is baring your luscious limbs
Where there's a chick in a sweatshirt with no pants, there are 30 thirsty men spamming her page with water droplet emojis. Trap away.
