I know what you’re thinking. Typical female rant.
And you know what! I don’t even mind, shoot I might even agree with you but in all honestly, this topic is long overdue! I am soooo bored of the lies folks, I mean really. Hands up ladies if you have ever been put in that unfortunate position of interacting with your own personal Sir Dumbsalot…. Anybody?
Okay. Who is this dubious character I hear you ask.
I think I’ve come up with a great way to help you figure out if you have indeed come across this special kind of dude. Why don’t we run through a checklist and if you make it to the end go ahead and add yourself to the list of victims who have suffered at the hand of these jobless wannabe mack daddies. (Forgive overzealous tones of extremist feminism but I have suffered in silence a little too long, I’m gonna tone it down though
Right back to business.
Identification Prompt One:
So your out in some place sociable and the vybe is nice. You could be with your people celebrating one of many occasions or just out with a couple of your girls, if your anything like me you could simply be enjoying your own company. A guy approaches you or maybe he just sets the playing field, you know, makes it know that he’s at least thinking about whether or not you’re on BB.
*If you’ve dropped out at this stage maybe you are ahead of the game and could infact be onto something. Avoiding social scenes may be your thing and perhaps refining ones social activity may help dodge these metaphorical bullets… Its an option, and you know what they say, different strokes for different folks.
Identification Prompt Two:
Ok, we’re at the approach. He has made the move or after shooting a couple of them sweet boy eyes across the room, he is about to make his move. He approaches you with respect, although he may invariably border the fine line of appropriateness and the levels may depend on the way you engage his discourse.
He then drops whichever line he deems fitting for this particular draw. You on the other hand, for whatever reason decide he will not be receiving the code to your cellular device.
Now you have to let him now that that is how its going down.
* If the turn in story has alienated you, once again, count yourself blessed. What that let’s me know is that you are the fortunate kind of woman that attracts the men she wants and doesn’t have the “weirdo’s try your luck” label that seems to be stuck to my head. Keep doing you sister because its a cruel cruel world out there.
Identification Prompt Three:
You attempt, in the best way you know how to turn this guy down. Now me, personally, I at all costs avoid being straight up rude. You never know who woke up on the wrong side of the bed and decided to headbutt the next bimbo he felt was givin a bit too much lip. I am not tryna be that girl. In his mind your playing hard to get and he thinks persistence is what your looking for. This may or may not be down to the general vybe of your banter and how much you were flexing your mascara covered lashes. Regardless of the technicalities, bottom line is, your not on it and he is not happy or ready to believe that you know what your on about.
Here comes the wahala. He more than likely makes it a point to raise his voice but even if not for public hearing he makes sure you hear him loud and clear when he claims “your ugly anyway, I wanted to talk to your friend anyway, [...] insert your own variation of the same thing”
* if your here and you can relate, that’s it. You have indeed met Sir Dumbsalot and I have a few words I would like to share with you.
Sometimes, these unnecessary and what could be described as verbal “happy slaps” make you feel like a bit of a pleb. Who wants to listen to anyone talk smack about them, especially in public. But here is why I think it is safe to say that such men are truly intellectually challenged thus insults from them come up null and void in my book.
If you really did exert all that energy winking your eye, adding that extra dip in your walk and speaking in that bootleg Barry White tone or even purchase a drink for a female you yourself consider ugly… you need to reduce your spare time mate. Hook yourself up with a plumbing class, pick up a new language or learn how to grow vegetables or something because pursuing ladies you label as ugly, skets or whatever seems a bit like life confuses you.
If a situation arises with a girl and she’s just not that into, grow some balls and take it on the chin. Do you think Flavour Flav became the pimp he is by flippin out at the first sign of rejection?? No sirry bob he didn’t, he just asked a lot more women and the rest is history!
Disclaimer: if you are one of those precious male specimens who finds even the thought of such behaviour cringe worthy, I apologise that you had to read through this. God bless your loins and enable you to produce more men with your mindset! Perhaps mention it to your boys and ensure they are not culprits, its does nothing for your collective swag.
