More Bad Boys

A few do's and don'ts for men to remember when trying to woo women:
• If you call a lady don't suddenly decide that you are going to "play it cool" and say that you accidentally pushed a button on your phone and didn't actually mean to call.
• If you have to reschedule a date for later in the evening don't then show up late to the rescheduled time.
•Don't show up already half toasted and proceed to drink way more than your date.
• Don't go through the list of antidepressants you have taken.
•Don't talk about how you want to do "nasty" things to your hot neighbor.
• Do remember to bring money.
• Don't pick your nose. Even you think you're getting away with it you aren't. And if you do it out in the open and think we don't mind, stop. We do mind.
•Don't comment on what a woman eats and how she is undoing all her exercising by being fond of cookie dough ice cream.
• Don't comment on how said woman's friend sure doesn't look like she eats too much ice cream.
Sheesh.

My True Thoughts

So what I wrote earlier today was a load of crap. I mean what I have really been thinking about is, why do men tell you that they are going to call you and then not do it? It is not as if I go around shoving my phone number on people who do not ask for it. I most often do not even approach strangers. So what motivation would a man have to specifically have a long conversation with you and tell you in no uncertain terms that he would like to see you again and then not call? I know that this happens to other women because I have discussed it with my girlfriends. I don't believe that mothers simply don't teach their sons the value of honesty and integrity. Is there something in the male psyche that thinks they can go around lying and subtly manipulating others and that it simply does not matter because there are no dire consequences? And women sit at home wondering what it is that we have done that has made them not call. That is the worst part. I replay situations over in my head trying to think if I made an ass of myself, was unattractive, said something idiotic, etc., and make myself more nuts in small degrees. Men wonder why a lot of women seem a bit neurotic? Try dating men for say 10 years of your life! It's enough to drive one to drink (which only leads to more dating disasters). So for you out there who got my phone number, looked me straight in the eye, and explicitly said that you would call me and would like to see me again and then never did, I could have taken it like a big girl if you had said nothing at all. And then I wouldn't have wasted my time thinking about you. I just hope you know what great knitted socks you're missing out on mister (you dumbass).
