Lately, I have been noticing a trend for guys to just say the most retarded things to women when approaching them, presumably in hopes of making a connection. Guys, this may seem like common sense, but it's generally NOT acceptable to begin a conversation with a woman by insulting her.
One day, I happened to have this happen to me twice within the span of about 10 minutes. Which makes me wonder if it happens to other people too. Here's one example of what I mean.
One night, I happened to get off from my evening job a little earlier than usual and decided to go check out one of my friends who was having a birthday celebration at one of the local hotspots. I was trying to locate them in the crowd so I walked around searching a bit. I decide to try the top level and look down over the balcony for a better view. I walk up next to a guy standing by the railing. It appears he is working up the nerve to say something.
Sure enough, a minute later he says, "Hey what's up?"
I say, "Hello."
He continues, "Hey um, you work a bunch of jobs or something?"
Thinking that he is particularly intuitive, I respond, "Well, yes. I work 2 jobs...why do you ask?"
He responds by pointing to his eyes and drawing circles under them with his fingers saying, "Well you look really tired, right in this area." (still pointing...)
I stand there for a minute, slightly offended, but more annoyed. I wonder, when he stood there and thought up that romantic little comment, what did he expect my response to be? "Yea, you know you're right, do you have some eye cream??"...seriously. Even if it were true that I was looking particularly worn out, who points that out as an ice-breaker?
All I can manage to say in response is, "Wow."
Then, to my utter astonishment, he follows up with, "Yea so you wanna dance?"
There is, of course, only one thing I can say in return..."You know, I don't think so...I'm too tired."
--WHO DOES THAT??
That's a funny story. That's bad, but I don't know if it's as bad as standing around cheesing while being speechless not even knowing what to say to a woman. Then when you finally do your trying to a million things all within a 2 minute window.....

ReplyDeleteI think well I know he insulted you in hopes of standing out from the other 10 to 20 dudes that probably try to talk to you everytime you go out. As men we practice a billion lines and angles to try to approach you ladies with we are more intimitated of you ladies than you can be of us at times. If you don't mind me asking would you have danced with him if he said the typical "you're beautiful" compliment?
