Men and Women - My Dating Rant

Here I am at 26 years old, thinking that most men are slimy jerks and after only one thing. Why? Because all I get is the wrong kind of attention and usually from men in relationships looking to get out. Why? So, they can "hang out" with me. What the hell does "hang out" mean now? I'll tell you and it sure as hell doesn't mean what it used to.

Hanging out is not dating. Hanging out is basically a lazy term for a friends with benefits type of situation. Ideal for any guy looking to get himself balls deep in a girl he likes for whatever reason, but have zero responsibility to her whatsoever. Yes, I said it. Balls deep.

A guy like that would most certainly have to have balls to try that with me or think that was all I was good for.

Case in point: Today, not 1...not even 2...but 3 gentlemen started talking to me while I was at work. One guy I know has a girlfriend because he was in store with her 2 days ago exchanging a watch, which he then brought back for something else. During this exchange, he proceeded to comment on how different I looked with make-up on and my hair down. Asked my nationality. Why I had no ring on my finger. Did I have kids. Things he most certainly was not asking 2 days ago in front of his girlfriend.

Which just confirms my point of view of men lately. All men my age want is something easy. They don't want to work for anything. They want convienience. They want casual and they want arm candy.

I'm no ones arm candy and I refuse to lower my expectations to ever settle for a man less than a GENTLEMAN who will treat me with RESPECT. That's all any woman deserves, in my mind. Luckily for me, I have met a wonderful MAN. He knows I'd kick him in the nuts if he ever disrespected me (lol).

Back to my example from today, I didn't flirt back, I did my job. I gave him nothing to go on. I answered his questions in a way that didn't leave room for further discussion regarding it. But, he came up with more things to say, trying to get me to open up. When I didn't, he eventually gave up and finished with the sale, not before leaving and calling me a "dollface".

Another customer called me "cutie pie" and that's fine, but once again, physical. I realize that everyone is somewhat judged by how they look, but you can bet your ass I don't hear 1/2 of this when I throw my hair in a messy bun and don't wear hardly any make-up to work.

What's different, I wonder? I'm the same. I act the same. I smile, I'm still funny...hmmmm, I can only guess. Could it be the way I choose to wear my make-up? Probably, but why should I change? What the hell have I done wrong?

Not a damn thing. Ugh!
