OOPS! | 2006-08-08
I just cut a comment from, I believe, Dave, that is to the point.
Dave, I believe, expressed a complaint most of us males have. He says he talks to girls, listens to girls, and girls like to talk to him but he is sick and tired of their treating him like a talking buddy instead of a red-blooded guy who, like any straight man, has more hopes than a conversation.
I have talked about how inept we males are, because I have lived with that. But this is a case where WOMEN are just plain stupid.
It is the exact reverse of our mistake of being Macho Men with THEM. Us straight guys want to know that we are attractive to women. Women consider it a victory if we do NOT bed them, but it goes further than that. Women like to insist that none of us are good enough for them.
This is not a new problem. Many types of male BIRDS offer the female a little present when they are courting hem, like a fish or a piece of seaweed. The female bird usually refuses to accept it the first time. I have a strong feeling that this behavior was not invented yesterday.
In fact I think it goes back, literally, to the time birds had teeth and dinosaurs were at their peak.
So women are always bitching to each other that men don't talk to them or listen to them. Then they treat a man who DOES like a eunuch.
But on the plus side, if you are on a first date, the best way to get a real relationship going is to just listen and listen and listen.
EVERY conversation with an attractive girl should include an invitation to meet for cup of coffee or a beer. Take the first refusals routinely.
One of them will eventually accept that bit of seaweed, or there wouldn't be any birds left.
