Why not to buy a girl a drink at a bar - Page 7

i've had the same situation as the craiglist post guy once, except for some very key differences . . . anyway, very pretty girl walks up to me, chats me up, gives me the batting eyelashes, big smile and in that innocent/obnoxious 'baby voice' that some girls do say, 'i could really go for another vodka soda.' key difference though - i'm gay - and as gently as i could, told her that and still offered to buy her a drink, but she got pissed off and walked away. maybe half an hour later, another pretty girl is talking to me, quite genuinely though, and i can tell she's not expecting anything, we're just talking. THEN baby voice girl walks by, obviously way more drunk and belligerent, butts in my convo and goes, "HA, don't waste your time, he's a homo!" i give genuine girl this embarassed/'i'm sorry' kind of smile, and genuine girl is like cool whatevs and we keep on talking. THEN baby voice girl butts in again and goes "i don't think you get it, HE'S NOT GOING TO BUY YOU A DRINK!" - normally i would've gone off, but there was a part of me that was feeling just very above her and felt like blatantly ignoring her would've gotten under her skin more than actually confronting her. however, i didn't have to! cool genuine girl slowly turns in her swivel bar stool, calm and collected, goes, "no, i don't think YOU get it. i'm a intelligent self-respecting woman who isn't entitled and trashy like you. this guy is actually 100% more respectable and cooler than these douchebags i've watched you push your fake boobs on all night in exchange for drinks. as a matter of fact this guy is so cool that i'm gonna buy HIM a drink . . ." the look on baby voice girl was priceless, and of course a bit of a cat fight ensued but baby voice girl was eventually kicked out by the bouncers. cool genuine girl is now a cool genuine friend who i hang out with on a weekly basis, and the rest is history!

Great! However, such women of substance are few and far between. Very few bring anything to the table. Many I meet are actually proud to state that they would go out with guys even if they don't like them, as long as they spend money on them.

She's a keeper!

I'd say men who believe they think logically are the greatest fools of all.

I sometimes buy drink for people, when I feel like it or they're broke. Very often they're male and there is def no sexual tension (i.e. both of us are straight). I also sometimes ask women to buy me drinks, it usually works.

Hahaha! This is a great story. I salute you for maintaining your composure, and salute your friend for taking care of baby-talk girl.

Word. It's an aspie convention up in here.

It works more often then not, Friday I turned to a girl ordering drinks and just said "and a Jack and coke for me, thanks" Low and behold, she ordered one for me

Screw the drinks, I had best luck in coffee shop, and I completely agree with this guy that a lot suckers out there who just buy free drinks and hope to get lucky.

I personally enjoy a conversation with someone who is not smashed...

Never bought a woman a drink. Whenever a woman approached me and asked for one I always said, "You look like your old enough to manage a budget. Why should I?" If the response was witty as if it were from a 40s movie I would... alas, none ever responded with witty banter. No drink for them.

That was some Jedi Mind Trick shit - well played
