Eric writes about the emergence of going hunting in pairs – one man and one woman – to get a better “in” with the opposite sex. This plan has always backfired for me (as someone with a lot of male friends, I know all too well how much this doesn’t work). But good on anyone who can make it fly.
The part I’m more interested in though, is his commentary at the end re: Hot girls’ annoying friends. My question is this: Is the annoying quotient of said girl’s friends directly proportionate to her hotness? I’ve got some really annoying friends, and am hoping that those odds stack up in my favour.
Note to annoying friends: KIDDING! (unless it does make me hotter…)
I’m happy to be your annoying friend if it helps you get cute boys. 🙂
In other news, the hunting in pairs thing seems counterproductive. If I see someone with a member of the opposite sex I tend to assume they’re both taken and straight, which doesn’t do it for me. (Straight guys are acceptable, but that’s only because since I don’t have a real penis, gay guys won’t go for me… )
Strangely, seeing a girl with a bunch of other girls doesn’t make me automatically assume she’s taken. Hmm. Well, straight *is* the default. I have absolutely no gaydar whatsoever. It’s pathetic. Like, my roommate? Never would have pegged her as gay. She’s too cute & british to be gay. 🙂
That said, I picked Neil up at a club while he was there with a female friend. They weren’t giving off any dating vibes, and she was mostly naked, so you’d think there would be some vibes. Or at least some nipple tweaking. Generally, however, I am oblivious to said vibes, so seeing someone with someone else makes me look for someone else.
On the other hand, I also rarely go after strangers. I prefer to be friends (or at least aquantainces) with someone before going further. I don’t do the “hunting” thing. My general experience is that you find people when you’re *not* looking. People who are looking tend to look more desperate than not, and that’s not a turnon.
