I have never been so confused in my life. Help me!
Yesterday, I was at a nightclub, leaning against the wall and waiting for my boyfriend so we could go home, when a man came up to me and said "You are so unsexy, you're not the most attractive woman here."
I thought about that for a moment, then slapped him, because it seemed like the thing to do. Then I left him standing there and found myself another wall to lean on. He showed me the thumbs-up sign, looking mightily pleased, and then came over to tell me: "But exactly because of that. I'm just encouraging you."
I told him to fuck off, and he finally did.
Wise flist, help me. What was that about? I just... I don't get it. What makes a man go to a woman he's never met before in his life, and tell her she's unsexy?
Was that some kind of... weird, perverse attempt at flirting? Like... pulling my pigtails, or something? Did he just feel like getting slapped at that moment? Jealousy? A backhanded attempt at a compliment? Some weird, misplaced moment of bad taste and honesty? Failed attempt to humiliate me? What?
I am confused! Help me make sense of this! Any guesses appreciated.
(I'm not asking for ego stroking, by the way. My ego thinks I'm sexy. My boyfriend agrees. So do all the guys I accidentally picked up on the dancing floor whenever my boyfriend was gone. My ego is fine. I just want an explanation!)
In the interest of full disclosure, he was maybe about thirty to fourty, drunk, but not so much that he might just have been thinking I was his ugly fairy godmother and would grant him three wishes for his honesty. I was wearing jeans and a semi-sexy top, if that makes a difference. There is a small chance that he could be one of the guys I turned down that evening, but I don't think so.
