In dating it is often said, to find a man you must simply go where the men are. This past Sunday my favorite watering hole was invaded by a cluster of hens. Loud ones at that.
I’d gotten up extra early Sunday because it was an away game and I knew the spot would be packed. Dressed in my finest of jersey and jeans I took my usual seat, which is saved for me every Sunday
. As I was getting into a rousing discussion about Baltimore secondary defense, 3 women walked in. I smiled and said hi to them all, andddddddd nothing back. I paid it no mind and kept on about my business. Apparently one of the dudes I was sitting with had observed the whole exchange. He’d interrupted me and said he hated when women did that. He said there was no reason for them to speak and the only reason he said they probably didn’t speak to me was because i was the only chick in a group of dudes. He went on to say how disappointed he was that they elected not to speak to me but, rather spoke to the 3 dudes. He said he couldn’t wrap his mind around how they immediately blocked me out.
I told him I wasn’t bothered at all. I spoke as I usually did to anyone coming through the doors of Midtown and if they elected not to speak, the burden of stank was not on me…rather them. He asked me how I felt being that they classified me as competition off top. I asked him what i was in competition for? He laughed. I looked at him and said i’m not laughing what am i in competition for? The attention of men in a packed bar? The attention of men during a good football game? We both laughed and continued watching the game.
As the game went on I noticed as the shots flowed the group of sisters were getting louder and louder. Louder than the television. The group of women had to be in their late 30’s/early 40’s. They were using that “hey look at me tone.” People were looking but, not in a good way.
I don’t know when i became an expert on woman behavior but, I found that most of the dudes in the spot steered clear of the boisterous bunch. Asking me various questions about why some chicks come to sports bar when they know they ain’t paying attention to the game. One dude responded, they think they slick, they just in here faking to catch a man. I lol’ed and damn near spit out my beer but, is this a new trend?
I have noticed in the last few weeks that the number of women at my usual spot has doubled. I wonder what their plan of action is when a game is on…Half time prowling? hmmmmm but, even then the recaps are on and who’s paying attention then?
No one.
lol.
