HairCut Saves Woman From Bad Relationship
In the old days, maybe a guy would come bring a gal the head of a dragon to win her heart, but nowdays guys don’t go that far out of their way. It is just too much work. Boy, maybe things should go back to that because there are sure a bunch of guys who make themselves look like screwballs.
This is the story of how the wrong haircut saved the VintageGent-ette from a miserable relationship.
The VintageGent-ette went on a blind date once. Her friend met a guy in line at a store (in the south, they call that “standing online,” but they met face to face so I didn’t want to confuse you), and thought that they would be a cute couple. She went to the restaurant with her friend and waited at the bar, but the dude never showed. His family actually owned the place, and later he called V-Gette’s girlfriend to tell her he was embarrassed because he was pulled into working and couldn’t come out. Later on he told V -Gette’s pal that he thought VG was ugly.
Then, a week later he begged for a date! As strictly a favor to her friend, V-Gette showed up and so did the dude, but he didn’t tell her that he cut his collar length hair, and that he was wearing a jacket and tie (which V-Gette prefers cleancut guys anyways). She was looking for a guy with collar/shoulder length hair and a black button down shirt whom she was told to look for. Needless to say, they didn’t ever meet. The dude thought that she didn’t like what she saw and didn’t come over. V-Gette’s friend called later and verbally slapped him for throwing a curveball.
He begged for one more chance. I don’t know why. V-Gette said no, but one day they went to the same club/restaurant, the two gals, just to listen to some jazz. The dude showed up and bumped into V-Gette - literally - and then walked up to some drunk lady and started kissing her. His intent was to make V-Gette jealous for not accepting another blind date, and to somewhat think that V-Gette would want him to kiss her next.
V-Gette thought he was an idiot. And no, she wasn’t jealous. She was happy that a spontaneous haircut on the dude’s part saved her from a miserable meetup.
Anyway, a word to the wise. There were two crucially bad pick-up/dating mistakes here.
1) DO: Girlfriends talk. It is good to let the girl who set up the meeting know you are interested in getting to know her friend better. She is the gatekepper. DON’T: Tell the friend she is ugly. Women do not see that as a challenge to prove you wrong. They will not explain to you that you couldn’t possibly know from the other side of the restaurant. They will not appreciate your ability to “tell it like it is.” They will just think you are a jerk.
2) DO: Let the lady see you acting gracious to others. A man that is willing to open a door for a lady entering a room at the same time, even though he does not know her, is being a gentleman. It shows her you are not just being nice to her artificially. DON’T: Kiss another lady. Do not play tonsil hockey. It is just as bad as telling a woman you are married in hopes it would prove to her you are capable of making a commitment. Ladies assume you are physically able to kiss someone, and don’t need you to prove it when they are deciding to give a man the “green light” to meet them. It proves you have no manners and no self control.
Where are the manners?
A better approach would have been just to come up to V-Gette and lay some cheesey pickup line. If its obscene, he would have gotten nowhere, but if it was clever, maybe he would have gotten a laugh and at least broken the ice.
My all time favorite “Bad Pickup Line:”
Hi, I’m Ken, You Must be Barbie!
(Of course this can be reversed for the ladies).
V05’s Ultimate Flirting Championship is On (brought to you by Extreme Style by VO5!) If healthy, bouncy Victory Hair is the key to attracting a mate, a line like that will certainly offset it. It may be dumb, but at least you won’t be hit with anything for saying it. Well, some people say Victory Hair is actually messed up hair because the guy wins the heart of the girl, they kiss, and someone’s hair gets pretty messed up in the process. Or someone’s fingers get stuck! Just like in some college movie where people get locked in the closet together. Aww…misguided youth!
Test your flirting skills now and join the challenge! If you are really serious, don’t go for a radical haircut right before a date, like that dude did. V-Gette could have had the satisfaction of straightening him out!
