Year of the tiger-lilly

Archive for April 29th, 2010

Now, I don’t usually gossip especially since the walls have ears where I work. So, today I was one of the last people on the floor together with another guy — the same guy I used to flirt with: Playing the Game – and we started speaking frankly. The conversation turned to the females of the office. Now, I’m no stranger to “guy talk” seeing as most guys usually consider me ‘one of the guys’,  but this conversation still caught me off guard.

Basically, almost no one met his requirements. Every girl who didn’t spend copious amount of time in front of the mirror doing her hair/make-up and wore the latest fashion was just not interesting to him . Let’s not forget he also wants a girl with big boobs, so the “pretty” girls in the office didn’t score a perfect ten for that reason. To get back to the other girls who “fell short”, they were not only not his type, no, they were also gross. He imagined that the girls’ underwear were yellow with caked on body fluids or he’d imagine that they didn’t shower regularly. I wouldn’t know if it’s true or not, but his disapproval took me aback; it wasn’t just disapproval his reaction bordered on pure disgust. 

He’s not bad looking. He’s allowed to have some requirements, but goodness gracious, I went from liking him (as a person) to being completely turned off. He and the other guys of the office extensively discuss who they would or wouldn’t “do”, not a shocker, but the fact that he told me how he felt about most females in the office… I just felt awkward knowing a large group of men in in the office talk about the females amongst themselves and maybe in the same fashion this guy did.

I try not to get into the whole lumping men into groups, so I’ll just say that this guy was a complete let down. He was so disrespectful! There was no need to put down the women the way that he did. I guess I shouldn’t complain he’s not my boyfriend. Thank god!
