So this comment won’t be as nerdy as the last one I made.
This guy in Salt Lake wrote a craigslist posting about his experience in buying girls drinks. I completely agree with him. That said, the last girl I bought a drink for turned out to be an amazing woman. That doesn’t, however, negate the previous times wherein I’ve been taken in by the low-cut shirt and tight pants, worn only to get a free drink out of me, only to get the chest-pat walk away without a word dismissal. Fuck, I sound like a crusty curmudgeon, don’t I? Perhaps that’s where I’m headed. Dunno…
Regardless, that time is done. Forevernomore will I be suckered by the evilness that is buying women drinks. (The seventeen single women in Fairbanks take note!! Not that any of you really seem to care, seeing as how this town is a target rich environment in which you can spend a night out and not spend a dime…..) Perhaps this will destine me to be single, but honestly, I’d rather be single than to be used. I suck at dating as it is and always have. I don’t need your narcissistic bitchy selves further eroding whatever meager self-confidence I have remaining by luring me in and leading me on with your empty promises.
Anyway, dude may have only been 22, but he’s wise beyond his years.

A phenomenal post. He does indeed write well beyond his years. I too have abandoned this archaic and abused form of bribery when it comes to women and the hunt for a potential female soul-mate (or at least some beautiful woman to share my bed).
I do indeed by drinks for women, but also men. My only criteria for this generous activity is that they are my friends. I expect nothing in return, but always am graced with welcome company and off a reciprocal act.
Good stuff Ken! (I’m retweeting your post by the way!)
