The next decade....what's in store?
Musings of a yamfooted traveller still trying to shake off those last 20 pounds as she treks across the Caribbean
I always laugh at these tips, but in case there are any women readers needing, wanting, longing to meet the man of their dreams, here are some tips from MSN
(as if it works!)
Now gentlemen readers, (the single ones), how do you react if a lady comes over to you and starts chatting to you first?
She's not being overly suggestive but say you're at a cricket match (I know who that scenario won't apply to!) and a lady comes over and says hello and starts to ask you questions on the game, about cricket, and then the conversation shifts to things other than cricket. Anything too forward about that?
Me personally, if I see somebody who I think seems like a nice person to have a conversation with, I am going to go over and talk to he. Yes, I know I said I was shy, but not in that way. That's thanks to the hospitality industry.
And oh, I got to go to the match in St Catherine afterall, thanks to Sis. And Lagga did not disappoint. Got 5 wickets for 23 runs (Dr D, that's very good!).
Posted by yamfoot at April 17, 2004 07:41 PMIm a regular visitor to MSN. I happen to have read the article b4 stumbling on this site.Oh trust me those tips work. I went out today trying 2 test out some of these. U wldnt believe how UWI guys r stupid when it come on to women.
Posted by: Munzi at April 17, 2004 08:51 PMGood for u and good for Lagga! Hopefully that will augur well for the Windies!
Personally, I have no problem with a girl who chats to me first.
I don't have a problem with women who decide to chat first. As long as they are being themselves, that is fine.
I tend to be on the shy side myself (I suppose I have a deep rooted fear of rejection) and some women can be pretty awful when they aren't interested in you and mek man feel like dog crap for trying to make conversation. But, if you aren't interested, a girl can get the point across without being offensive. Get me?
Posted by: Dr. D. at April 18, 2004 10:42 AMOk, Munzi, so I will try out some of them....not that I'm looking for Mr Right, but just for the hell of it.
Go lagga go. And 'Half-a-man" Carlton Baugh Jr also scored an unbeaten century. 127* at the close of play yesterday.
Dr D, the rejection bit was talked about in a book I started to read called What Men Want or something to that effect. It spoke a lot to men being really really terrified of getting buffed, so women must make it easier on men. For example, if a group of ladies are out together, the authors suggest you moving out of the group to go stand by yourself so if a man is indeed interested in striking up a conversation, he will have an opportunity. Aint no way he is coming over to talk to you when you with your girlfriend.s
Oh this life. So fascintating and interesting.

Posted by: Trish at April 18, 2004 06:42 PMTrish, I don't know that men are any more complicated than women are....human beings are complex individuals. When you/we find one with whom we click and like, I suppose it is worth all the effort put into finding that person...nuh true?
