Men, women, insecurity & alcohol [** NEW UPDATE, DEC 2005 **]

[nerfherder]

This girl wanted to obtain a compliment without having to ever see you again. Objective achieved. Why would you be relevant to her in future?

Ooh, you cynic you... I like how you think!

Cheers,
Liam

To those who have been suggesting that she is an attention hog and not worth bothering with: I'd agree with you, based on the 'transcript', but that isn't the impression I got at the time. I got the impression that a combination of a bad day and alcohol were allowing her insecurities to the surface.

Well, I ran into her again on Friday night, so I can update the story a little.

She was in my local again on Friday evening. Since quite a lot of people have left recently, some the staff they had on were not all that experienced, and were therefore rushed of their feet. So, GFB got roped into helping with glass collection.

Anyway, one of the other former-staff-members was standing near our table, and GFB bounced over and hugged him, putting the plastic thingy for collecting glasses on a stool next to me. So of course, I picked it up and started fiddling with it. So GFB flashed me a gorgeous smile and said:

GFB: Are you going to do a glass-collecting run for me?

Me: No. I might have if you'd rushed over and hugged me instead of ...

GFB: Well, you were sitting down.

Me: That's...

At which point I stopped talking, as I realised she had gone back to ignoring me. I was going to point out that I had been in the place a while and had stood up and left my seat several times.

So, it looks like those who commented about her character were right, and I was dead wrong. I still didn't get her number, but I am not so sure I want it anymore.

That's too bad. I feel your pain.

Yep, she sounds like she's more trouble then she's worth.

Wow. This story does NOT surprise me. Reminds me of the college age Christian fellowship that I was part of years back. It was located in Boston, so there were a LOT of students in it from a large sampling of colleges and universities in the area. I asked a bunch of women out and was turned down each time.

Then one day, this absolutely gorgeous blonde girl joined the group, and a lot of us guys zeroed in on her. I ended up going out with her. Then, apparently, the other girls in the group got pissed, saying that they were willing to date, but that no one was asking them. They complained enough that I actually got a phone call from the minister in charge, asking me why I wasn't asking out any of the other women in the group, and why I was instead running after this new girl who was barely a member.

Now, I don't make it a practice of raising my voice at men of God, but I became incensed. I explained to him that I had asked a lot of the women out and they had all turned me down flat. I further stated that I wanted to get to Janelle "before the women in the group got to her and infected her with their twisted mindset." To my surprise, he conceded the point and dropped the matter.

Unfortunately, Janelle turned out to be as interesting as plain yogurt. We didn't end up dating long at all.

But, the bottom line is, each gender has certain irrational behaviors that it can claim as its own exclusively. What you are seeing there, sir, is one of the female ones.

OK, I just read this update. Do not walk away from her. Run. Run like the very hounds of Hell were after you. Run and don't look back. Back away from the crazy lady.

To quote Geoge Carlin: "Men are stupid and women are crazy - the reason women are so crazy is because men are so stupid."

Well, personally, my tastes run to human females, but to each his own, I guess. Far be it for me to judge.
