With all that aside, let us delve on to the subject at hand. The one that bothers me the most of recent times. Women. Oh, lost half of you already? Oh well, I continue nonetheless. I like women. They are physically attractive, amusing (on occasion), intelligent (at times), not annoying (every once in awhile), but they love to patronize. Not all of them do, of course, but I have had issues of late.
You see, I think to myself, "hey, I like that girl. I think it'd be swell if we could hang out and I could see if I enjoy more than just her attractive appearance." So, I ask her to hang out. She maintains a level of enthusiasm, saying she'd love to hang out, but she is just so busy right now. Hopefully, soon she'll be free. That's great. I can roll with that. However, it happens again. I have waited about a week; so, I try again. Same response. I grow a little weary, but I roll with it. However, with this weariness is planted a seed of doubt. Is she just being nice? Patronizing me so I don't feel embarrassed?
You know, I'm a big boy. I've had my share of rejection. I can handle it, but it seems my life is beginning to trend in this new direction. So, I back off, just talk to the girl on occasion. If she's interested, she'll approach me about hanging out when she has time. Weeks go by. Well, I could have saved a lot of wasted time if she was just up front about it. I then begin talking with another female friend. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Why can't they just be honest and up front instead of being "nice" and patronizing. It does nobody any favors. I don't want to be the annoying guy who keeps harassing you. I don't want to be the running joke with you and your friends. So, give me a hint, and I'll leave you alone. If you don't, I can be quite persistent.

I completely agree with you sir. I believe I have also made comments to the same effect. Typically most of us don't want to bother someone who doesn't want to be bothered by us, but none-the-less, it sometimes seems girls patronize just so they have something to talk/gossip about with their friends. Not all girls do this, but enough do it to make it really freakin' annoying.
I really want to leave a good and thoughtful comment but I am just really busy right now with class and such. I really hope to have some free time in the near future though so hit me up to remind me. Really.
You could always try my method. Never bother asking. I haven't been patronized yet!
ok well from a girls perspective we have two options either be "nice" or be called some variation of the "b" word. But i agree with you, be upfront, to all the women out there, you learn to live with the names :)
