even when I’m drunk I still have standards
What is it about guys? They think if you’re being friendly or what to hang out and bullshit that equals I’m interested in hooking up or dating you. What is that?
Can’t we all just be friends? But seriously. I don’t understand. Maybe it’s a Miami thing… that you can’t have guy friends without underlying intentions. I have a friend, let’s call her Laura and there is a boy, Steve. So Steve is a regular at Laura’s bar… comes in a few times a week, we all hang out with him after work at the other bars - he’s a pretty good friend of all of ours. And Laura is a pretty cute girl and when you throw in her personality, she’s a pretty awesome catch. Steve, not so much in the looks department, but great personality. Laura finds out that Steve has been mentioning to a mutual friend about how he’s ‘doing work’ and he’s ‘got this situation on lock.’ I hear this and start laughing. Hard. Can’t breathe, need a glass of water type laughing, because it’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. All Laura is guilty of is being nice and having fun. She’s never led him on, never given any sign of being attracted to Steve, nothing. And here he is thinking that he’s got it in the bag. Waiting for Laura to slip up, have a few too many drinks, or a moment of mis-judgement. Moron.
It’s annoying. I just get along better with guys than girls. I love sports, beer, enjoy the outdoors, being active… ‘guy stuff’. I don’t do the whole let’s get our nails done, drink martinis, and pretend we are from Sex and the City. So I just want friendship with no strings attached, no intentions of hooking up… but apparently that’s just far too much to ask. Sigh.
