My Evening at Toit

TOIT

Nice place... Beer… Can’t complain.

Pretty girls in short skirts around and the normal buzz with some good music.

Was having a chilled out evening with friends, one, a Creative Director, the other a Media person and the third, a Digital specialist.

Deep in their beers and me in my Cocktail we chatter on… Work, Movies, the new 3G advt by idea.

Then I get a call from a friend who, I very graciously invite. He apparently doesn’t drink, smoke or eat any outside food to keep himself trim. I often find such people weird & hard to believe, but sometimes you need to just accept people for who they are... And me, I’m just nice...

But these guys, believe me, have many vices. No offence meant to anyone.

I introduce him to my buddies and the evening goes well lots of laughter, fun… and then we notice him staring at the two women standing at the other corner, not very great looking, early 20's. He, a tall, good looking guy, model material, mid 30's. We were pretty much surprised at his choice... Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

That was weird, he did nothing but stare. An occasional eye contact in-between is fine I guess, but this was awful. Every one on the floor next to us noticed it too because it became so very obvious. My buddies were embarrassed. I was super embarrassed. We tried to cover the embarrassment by getting his attention, but too late… his eyes were set. It was a little too sidelined.

In seconds before we could do anything, the next thing we saw, was him making conversation with the girls. Well, he had his eye set on one, but to get the one, he needed to make conversation with both. I guess that’s the approach guys use... to get to the one they want, they also befriend their friend. Oops sorry about that comment :)))

Okay... We let him be. He’s old enough to know what he's doing.

The next thing we know, they exchange numbers, wow that was quick… 10 minutes with a stranger and there you go exchanging numbers. A gentleman will offer to buy the lady a drink, but that didn't  happen either :)

He then comes back to us, says, "Hey that was easy. My works done" . We then jokingly tell him, he could find someone better, they’re just kids... but all he says is  "Who cares? I’m not looking for a relationship"  winks & before we could react, says, "I’ll see you guys around” and happily walks away.

Damn, that’s not right... Its not how its meant to be.

Most of the guys I know or who I’ve met are a decent lot, but this kind of behavior from a certain few is not really acceptable... Opinions may differ...

Or... Is it that we women who are the ones to be blamed… picked up at bars... share numbers with strangers who you just randomly approach you

I don’t mean to be critical.
Its just another story, just an experience I'd like to share... but I guess its also food for thought.

Signing off... Cheers!!
