Some advice for the guys

| | Comments (9)

In a couple of rather unfortunate incidents in which men I met claimed to be interested in me after either a) ogling and trying to touch another girl right in front of me or b) dirty dancing with my friends, I just want to put this out there for the fellas: For best results, don't hit on every girl in the bar and hope that one will accept your advances by the end of the night.

Instead, choose one, and keep your attention on her. Otherwise, every one you hit on will be more offended than the last, and you will look desperate, pathetic, and like you'd hit anything that was breathing (which, even if true, is just not a good look for anyone).

I know it's not really anyone's fault, but more a disconnect in the way women operate when they're meeting men and the way men operate when they're meeting women. Men see women talking to other guys and it just juices them up, gives them a little competition, makes them get their game going. Women, on the other hand, see a guy talking to other girls and it just makes them feel like, "Ok, obviously he's just going down the line and I'm in no way special, so whatever."

Of course there are exceptions to this, but look at how on the whole men get competitive over a woman and a girl will just get crabby and rejected when a guy starts looking around.

The joys of dating... NOT.

LOLOLOLOLOL Dad if people only knew you through your comments on Ginger's blog they'd think you were a real creep!

dad said:

Oh I'm quite sure they do anyway.....we know the truth and that is funny!!!!

Maybe it's just me Greg, but a $100 bill taped to the forehead doesn't exactly sound like an enticing dowry. I think you can do better than that. I think an iPod is standard these days.

It's an old, old joke from when the kids all lived in Mnpls. Kind of an inside joke, if you will. Those were the good old days. But I digress.I suppose she could tape the ipod to her forehead. I'm guessing the end result would be the same.

If I could somehow force myself to switch sexual orientations, I'm pretty sure I could put up with you for $100 or an ipod. Wouldn't even need both. :)
