currently going through a lull period at work. so far, i've sent off 2 million emails, checked up on flight prices to 2 million destinations, browsed through 2 million properties up for sale, checked the various news websites 2 million times...you get the idea? i've even had time to go for a haircut. (for anyone who's interested, i have a short china-girl bob now)
i got out of the office early last night and had dinner with someone who at some point was interested in me and might well still be. (although i made it a non-date when i whipped out cash to pay for my share of the meal) anyway, at the start of the meal, he was telling me about his female friend who had confessed to him recently that she not only fancied him but also fantasised about him. i looked across the table, saw the less-than-drop-dead-gorgeous face and then the ill-fitting shirt with mis-matching tie. i was quite tempted to laugh out loud, but decided to be polite in case i wanted a free meal.
this is not the first time guys have tried to impress me with stories about their pulling power. one other friend was very enthusiastic about keeping me up to date with his sexual exploits whilst not-so-subtly hitting on me. again, i looked at his even-less-than-drop-dead-gorgeous self and politely contained my laughter.
but my point is, haven't guys realised that bragging is a huge turn-off? in particular, when they start bragging about their sexual attractions when they clearly aren't greek gods? word of advice to guys out there, discretion works. in particular, leave out mentions to your hordes of adoring female fans, your ex-girlfriends, your ability in bed.
