Ok, so here's an update for you...
Remember the guy I told you about meeting the other night? Well, I took the chance and went to the bar where his band was playing! Actually, the band was really good and he has a great voice. I was considering not going but then I figured I should just go and maybe, just maybe, I 'd have a good time. Stranger things have happened you know...
My lesson for the night? Men are fucking pigs! Although hopefully not in the literal sense.
(And I'll take this moment to apologize to the porcine species... that's not fair to them.)

Sorry things evidently didnt' work out and you didn't have a good time. I'm not going to try to defend the male species, cause a lot of time we are pigs.
Worry not, Livest-of-wires.
Real men are Gentlemen and stay as such, whilst most pigs become bacon.
Everybody gets whats coming to them one day........
Oh well, so I went. Still better than not trying new things I suppose. Still disheartening.
John - The only thing that worked out was that I saw a few friends I hadn't seen in a while. I do know it's not all males, but just some of the behavior... I hate feeling like a sucker.
Carpy - I do believe that real men are gentlemen. Just seems that I have to take that on faith (I'm not seeing it in this instance) and I'm not sure faith and I have a working relationship anymore.
Yeah don't give up on trying the new things! Occasionally you might find that guy who doesn't fuck pigs!
Ah, so eloquently put by the jugular bean. And yes, there are some good ones out there, just takes quite a while to weed out all the bad ones (quite a monumental task in all likelyhood).
I gather things went very badly.
S'pose one will have to chalk it up to experience... although hiring a hitman sounds like more appropriate action... for him and the ENTIRE band.
Sorry to hear you didn't have a decent evening but at least you tried.
I think I'd rather know than always wonder "What if?", you know?
J Bean - I really am too stubborn to give up, just makes me weary at times. And you think that should be the first question out of my mouth when I meet a guy? Ask them if they are pig fuckers? =)
Hans - Monumental; perfect word. I do know there are good ones... just that they belong to someone else already. But I guess it is proof they exist anyway, right?
Chitty - you catch on quickly! heehee! Now, about this hit man... how much do you, uh, I mean, er, someone posessing that ability... how much do they charge?
Stacy - You are so right. I am exactly the kind of person to beat myself up with 'what ifs'. I wasn't looking for anything amazing, just hate to be reminded that people can suck so badly. You better tell the Peanut King to be on his best behavior! =)
eKapa - Your oinks made me laugh! And honestly, I get the idea that you and I are alot alike in being the ones on this end of things at times. Suppose what a person deserves and what a person ends up with are two different things. But again, I'm too stubborn to give up. I may back off, but I'm either too determined or too dense to fully give up.
Hmmm... men probably ARE fucking pigs... i just googled it.
Well that's me put off bacon sarnies for the rest of my life...
Probably develop a few phobias too, now! GArn!
Oh- btw, thanks for dropping by my very own blog-thing. It's always a pleasure to see new faces.
S.x
Sorry it didn't work out, but at least you gave it a go. As for men being pigs, well a lot are, but some are decent, you just have to find one, easier said than done!
I just saw this post, five days after you posted it, so you'll have to forgive me for inquiring about old news. However, I have to ask, WHAT HAPPENED???
Yeah, I know, I'm nosey. But I want details!
And you're right, most men are pigs. I usually try not to be, but I'll admit that every so often I have my piggish moments.
Saturnyne - If you googled it, there is probably a pic of the fool I met with a firm grip on some ham... wouldn't doubt it!
The psychiatric community will be thanking me your giving you new phobias... although I still don't know what a 'sarnie' is... =) Thanks for stopping by. I'm sure you'll see me back at your blog soon.
Valhalla - Thank you so much for the 'shorter and smellier' thing... I got such a great laugh! And I must find out what these 'sarnies' are.
Motormouth - Yes, I did give it a go and learned that he wasn't so decent after all. I will make an effort to remember that he alone is not a gender representative... I hope.
Skrambled - My good egg! You are right, everyone has moments, and that is to be expected, but when you lack a conscience that is something not easily overcome. You are nowhere near that category - that is why you are such a good egg. Then again eggs and bacon do go well together... =)Nah...
"My lesson for the night? Men are fucking pigs!"
I beg your pardon!
I will be the first to admit that the male of the species can be a little truculent and childish at times, but I'd like to think we blokes aren't all like that.
Plus we can be a glib, off-hand and thoughtless.
And tactless.
As well as noncommittal and equivocal.
And let's not forget reckless.
Oh, and puerile.
I demand an apology or .. or, or I'll stamp my feet, cross my arms and hold my breath until my 'ead turns blue.
So there!
Wayne - Isn't it great to end conversations with stamping feet and a hearty "so there!"?
Know what Wayne? I won't apologize even if it means that your 'ead turns blue. I do know that all men aren't like that, just that this particular one was. It's not fair to generalize but when it's in your face, I think we all tend to. Same as if you'd had a vile experience with a female... easier to generalize and blame than really consider it was you that screwed up in your choice. Men and women both have their own set of stigmas when it comes to the opposite sex as I'm sure you know. Some true, some very true, and some not even close. A great deal of it actually lends to the charm in a strange sort of way...
There. Now go stamp your feet! =)
Now I have to be careful not to sound like some kind of love god .. which I'm not, I hasten to add.
Oh that I was!
Anyway, I recall several occasions when woman have come up to me and have been down-right very honest and flattered the hell out of me.
On three occasions, the woman haven't been entirely gifted with the good looks I'm looking for in a woman, so I'm flattered and that's as far as things go.
But what I don't do is act like a prick and shrug them off.
I smile, I thank them, I behave myself and I show them the common decency of spending just a few moments talking to them and remember that it takes a great deal of courage to just walk up to some complete stranger and tell them what you feel about them.
Man, that sounded conceited .. oh heck!
But anyway .. the point is, I'm not a pig!
So there .. again!
Wayne Smallman, love god? Here on my very own blog? [grin] You are right, even if the person approaching you isn't what you want, for whatever reason, it is still kind to not be an ass to them. Good plan. Now as far as the 'conceited part'... I wasn't quite sure whether the 'oh heck' meant 'yes I am and I don't feel like defending it' or 'I'm not but dont have the energy to define it further'. You write one hell of a comment mister! =)... so there! aha! Truthfully, good to see that some guys are willing to explain their views.
I suppose I was saying: 'Oh heck! Look what I've gone and said this time.'
But I'm sure you know that's not what I meant...
The quickest way to tell if a man is a pig is to say, "men are pigs." The men who say, "yeah, that's true" really are pigs. They'll agree with anything you say and not mean a word of it. The men who get pissed off when you say it are the real men. Unfortunately, after you've said, "men are pigs," many of them won't want to talk to you anymore. So you'll need a quick recovery once you've found the real men of the lot.
Wayne - again you have me pondering your comment... sigh. You trying to make me think til smoke comes out my ears? =)
Memphis Steve - now after all that sage advice, I was hoping you'd tell me what a good recovery would be!!! Oh, that is assuming I find the 'real men'...
