I go to school with three of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. There's not a time when we all go out to eat together that there's not a man/some men who take an interest in one or more of them. I've never been one of those girls.
To say that I'm a miserable, incompetent flirter, would be a beyond generous assessment. I have to admit that I have a really hard time stroking men's egos, which is required for effective flirting. I figure that if they don't already know they're great, me telling them all about it isn't going to do much.
Since I'm not busy flirting, I've become a student of social situations involving men and women and have made the following observations:
1. Most men are stupid.
2. Most women are stupid.
3. Most situations where men and women are trying to hook up are stupid.
4. Although there are obvious exceptions, a man or women you pick up in a bar/club is more than likely going to be worthless.
Last night was a great petri dish for my ongoing study:
One of the waiters, whom one girl had met before, approached the table to do a little quality flirting. He kept coming back again and again (forgetting my water refill every time) and continued making seemingly witty comments. Toward the end of the evening, he got up the guts and asked the girl if he could see her today adding that if she was available, she would have to come pick him up.
I said, "She has to come pick you up? You can't drive?"
He then proceeded to say that indeed, he can't drive, not because he doesn't know how, but because he's just recently had not one, but two DUIs, both ending in car accidents where the people in the other car were injured.
You know what happened then? The girl continued to talk and flirt with the guy.
Had it been me, that would have been the end of the conversation.
Don't get me wrong. I'm all for people getting drunk and acting a fool. I'm all for them killing themselves if that's what they want. But, when you're drunk and you get behind the wheel and endanger other people, that's where it ceases to be ok. And when you've done it twice in three months? I wanted to grab him and shake him. And then kick him in the sack.
If he's that disrespectful, unfeeling, and unthinking (not to mention stupid) in his every day life, do you think that's someone you want to be with?
No thanks.

criminals are so sexy. that's why a married a man who spent much of his teenage experience blowing up mail boxes.
Geez, Drunk drivers are the WORST! I'm SO glad you're not one of those girls...
I've always dreamed of dating a guy with two DUI's in three months, but no such luck.
I was in Wells last weekend for graduation, and I saw your mom and dad give out the scholorship in your sister's name. They both looked great. It was weird to be back in Wells roasting in the gym for graduation. It actually made me feel old.
Apparently all boys blow up mail boxes. Nick did it when he was a teenager, too. You would think they'd think of something better to blow up.
