Blurred and jaded

The past few weeks has been quite busy with academic work (i.e. doing lab demonstrations and grading 120 lab reports). By the time I finished I had a huge headache and was talking funny.

Anyways just wondering how many of you out there has read this months Cleo M’sian ed. One particular article sort of pissed me off, well just annoyed me actual. The title was ‘5 ways to ask a guy out’. I’m not sure about you guys out there but I feel a bit short changed.

Consider this: Every other self-help list in that magazine has at least 10 ways to do something. e.g. 10 signs to tell if your guy is cheating on you or 10 ways to spiced up in the bed room or 10 signs that you guys are meant your each other, get the point.

However when it came to asking a guy out they could only come up with FIVE, not six, seven or eight BUT FIVE. If you have read it the ‘pick up’lines are not exactly mind blowing. They are like ‘Hi, can I get you a drink’ to ‘Hi, cute T-shirt can I get you a drink’ to just ‘Hi’.

It like saying 'Hey all ya girs out there guys are very pretty easy just use one of our 5 lines you are bound a get a guy'. Guess we aren't that complicated to figure out huh.

Do I think it will work? Sure why not I’ll probably take the drink and leave, unless you look superficially good but how many good looking girls would do that try to pick up a guy.

Think about it these lines are more of a conversation starters at bars or clubs and they are the worst places to have a conversation.

If a guy said the same thing to you girls I wonder will it work.

note to self: When in hell am I going to figure out what I want.
