I just want to get things done and to not deal with men. So here are my top ten places to leave us girls alone.
1. Grocery Store. When women are shopping at the grocery store, we are there to get our groceries and to get out. I am usually there in my sweatpants and no makeup. This means, the last thing I am looking for is for you to start squeezing the melons and stare incessantly at me. And forget talking to me. I am really focused on not giving into temptation and buying mint chocolate chip ice cream and I don’t need you to divert my attention. I don’t want to hear what your sign is. My sign is LEAVE ME ALONE.
2. Gym. Guys, we are there to workout. We don’t look cute with buckets of sweat pouring down our faces. We hate working out. We hate that we have to be at the gym. Please do not give me one more reason to want to slit my wrists before I run like a gerbil on the treadmill. It is not a good place to talk to the ladies. Unless, you are asking me to pass you the 5 lb weight, do not breathe my way.
3. School. I am there to learn. I like learning. I like to focus on what the professor is saying. I am not interested in passing notes. We are no longer in junior high. Obviously, I am not dressed in a school girl’s outfit. This only happens in strip clubs. So if you want to get some from a “school girl” head out to your local gentleman’s club, I’m not interested.
4. Mall. The mall was a place I tried to pick up guys when I was in high school but not anymore. I want to shop with my girlfriends and try on outfits without being gawked at. I like to have my coffee and people watch. I am not winking at you. So please don’t ask.
5. Church. This is just an inappropriate place. Maybe if we are in a church singles group together, then yes, you can ask me for my number. But if I have bowed my head for prayer this is not a good time to sing my praises.
6. Airplane. When I am on an airplane, I am not interested in talking to anyone. I just want to read my book, listen to my Ipod and focus on the pilot not crashing. I am in an enclosed scary space with you for a few hours and I would like to not be taken off the plane by FAA Security. Do everyone, including yourself, a favor and just eat your pretzels and sleep.
7. Taxi. It never fails. When I get into a taxi, I get a guy who thinks he is as suave as Sean Connery but is really as eloquent as Shia LeBeouf. I am interested in getting to my destination. I am not interested in sleeping with you. I will not sleep with you. I do not know how to translate that into your language but how about F*%# off.
8. At Work. This is another place I loathe coming to. I would much rather be on a beach somewhere enjoying a margarita. But God did not smile down upon me and give me Paris Hilton’s life. Instead, I am here working for a smelly, fat man. I hate being here. Please do not make my life anymore miserable by making me find ways to avoid you all eight hours, five days a week. I will do it but you will pay for it.
9. Movies. If I am at the movies alone, there is a very good reason for it. I want to be alone. I chose to have people stare at me and feel sorry for me in order to go and enjoy a movie by myself. I am not there looking to be picked up on. I want to enjoy my tub of popcorn in peace. I am already creeped out by the uncleanliness of the seats, you are just adding to my discomfort.
10. Beach. No woman thinks she looks good in a swimsuit. But we like the beach. We like sunning ourselves and listening to music and enjoying quiet time. You are blocking my sun and interrupting quiet time if you try to pick up on my half naked self lying on the beach. Not interested surfer boy.
wow where DO you want to be hit on then….ill tell you where….NO WHERE cause your probally a fat ugly bitch. just because you are insecure EVERYWHERE you go doesn’t mean all woman are.
Perhaps that is true for you but if that was true for all women there would be no procreation without a bar. I’m not one to fancy a bar myself…
I say that casual flirting just about anywhere is appropriate as long as you know to stop if she’s giving you a signal to stop. Men should take risks now and then but know how to play the game.
I’m sorry, by the way, that you never think that you look good.
My idea is this: “hit on” women with a sense of self-confidence to have better luck.
Maybe you just have self esteem issues?
Well, let me add one from a male’s perspective then.
Night Clubs: If you’re smiling and eyeing me off from across the bar or on the dance floor, that doesn’t make me want to come over and say hi. That makes me think you’ve already slept with every other guy in the club and god knows how many diseases you’ve caught along the way.
So congratulations. Between you and I we’ve covered every single location where males and females congregate!
Have fun in your life of bitter loneliness. Get a few cats, I hear that helps. Just don’t blog that you can’t meet Mr. Right, because he probably smiled to you from the fruit aisle just before you rolled your eyes and flipped him the bird.
Joyful, if you are as miserable in person as you are in this post, I can’t imagine that getting hit on in any of these places is a problem for you.
Totally agree, I’d go even farther: I don’t want to be “hit upon ” at all! I’m not interested in relieving a guy’s sexual tensions, nor boosting his flagging male ego. Unless I show interest first, leave me alone or I’ll bite your head off
Your number one is total BS and youre giving false info to your readers. Although I admit some women are just annoyed at being hit on no matter where they are. But I have personally got more dates from hitting on women in stores than at night clubs. I have had much more luck. I have not noticed that women are annoyed by me approaching them. In fact most of them are very friendly, even the ones who choose not to give me their number. Therefore you are giving very bad information to men. Its real easy for you to sit here and type this BS but you have NO idea how hard it is to be on the other side of the gender train. Where are we supposed to meet women? bars and clubs are filled with the worst women of them all. A store or other public place is the perfect place to meet a very normal nice girl. Be careful of married women though, look for rings right off the bat. Not that married women dont ever mess around, because in my expirence, they do. Dont believe everything you read on the internet fellas, especially written by stupid snobby b%tches.
As a man I find this extremely disturbing to read. Where CAN we hit on you.. Why do us men have to be demonized just for wanting female companionship. Why do you assume that all we want is sex? Isn’t sex part of a loving relationship and marriage anyway?? I wonder is your mother met your father in one of these places. What if she followed advice like this and told him to “F*%# off”. Why do some women have a hard time accepting that most men have feelings and desires other than lust and stereotype us this way. Especially when our culture leaves men with the responsibility to initiate things.
No disrespect, but I think your analysis is wayyyy off. A few of them are correct, i.e. church. But the movies, beach, gym, and IF ONLY we all met someone interesting at the airport…
