Am I Crazy Or Is He A Hot Mess?
The most insidious and gross way that this manifests itself is when a guy would talk on and on about feminist politics and sexual liberation in order to get laid — and this happened all the time. It’s really difficult to see it coming because at first, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of a man really knowing his literature and being knowledgeable about women’s issues in politics and culture. It makes you feel respected. But it’s a bait-and-switch. I got hoodwinked this way — a guy I was dating was very upfront about being “poly,” which I was open to if things went somewhere. But as time went on, it became clear that the personal, emotional respect accorded to partners in real polyamorous relationships was missing from him. In other words, he wasn’t looking for a polyamorous relationship, he was looking for a bunch of booty calls. In other other words, he lied to get laid. Gross.
You know what’s actually cool to me? Guys who don’t feel the need to be patted on the back for being feminists, who do it solely because they think it’s right, who don’t push their version of feminism on women. Guys who don’t co-opt the conversation or showboat their opinions. There are plenty of those guys out there, doing the hard work with us — and they deserve way more credit than Feminist Frank is getting.
Ladies, I’m sure you have experienced this before. You are having a perfectly good flirtation session with a perfectly hot guy when all of a sudden … he ruins everything. The other night, I was at a party, talking with a guy I found extremely attractive and cool. We were wrapping up the conversation, about to exchange contact info, when he made a serious misstep. He reached down underneath his chair and pulled out a giant bicycle helmet and PUT IT ON. He looked so ridiculous that I couldn’t take him seriously. I fully support bicycle riding, especially with the proper safety precautions, but couldn’t he have waited until we parted ways to put the stupid thing on? Sigh. Foiled by a bicycle helmet. After the jump some more flirtation killers sure to spoil a good vibe. Add yours in the comments.
Boogers. Snot or dangling boogers are just too hard for me to ignore. Perhaps I am immature. I just can’t.
Improper use of basic grammar. I ain’t really feelin’ that.
Annoying texts. If a flirtation moves to text, sentiments such as “C U L8R” or the excessive use of emoticons kills any glimmer of hope. We are no longer in middle school.
The offering of illegal substances. I don’t take drugs from strangers and I don’t date strangers who offer me drugs. Any questions?
