Like a Fox in a Hen House, Strike and Strike Hard

Sometimes all it takes is a new perspective to change everything.

Learned a valuable life lesson this weekend, one that I'm going to share with all the ladies in the city.

I had a conversation with a girlfriend about men and their apparent apathy in regards to the dating scene.

Why don't guys show any interest in fucking/dating anymore? I can't even remember the last time a viable dude hit on me. By viable, I mean nice looking guys around my age who are into the same things I'm into. Nothing outrageous, just regular guys.

She was going through the same scenario, and had had the same conversation with other girlfriends. The dudes are apathetic.

So I talked to two trusted male friends about this, and they gave me the exact same answer:

The dudes are scared.

Scared of offending us. Feeling that approaching a pretty lady to offer her a drink and some light conversation will be seen as sexist. So they do nothing and everyone loses.

Until now.

Because of this cross-gender breakthrough communication, we have found the answer.

It's our turn to take the wheel, girls.

These guys aren't going to change. They were brought up in the post women's liberation movement, and so were we.

We no longer wait by the phone, with baited breath, hoping Prince Charming will call. Even our mothers called that old fashioned. It's time we put our money where our respective mouths are. We get up off our lazy asses and pick out our own princes.

I personally prefer to choose which man deserves to share with me a shot of Irish Whiskey and some light conversation. If he turns me down, I don't take the rejection too seriously, I'll just cast my line back into the ocean and reel in another.

It gets easier with practice, trust me.

Anyway, they usually say yes.

Don't get me wrong, this is by no means a one way street. You are not expected to do all the menial work, ladies. These guys have to pull their own weight, too. Just don't wait around for them to start things up, they're too chicken.

Ladies Initiate, Fellas Reciprocate. New world order, pass it on.
