“The first night I stepped foot in a bar was also the first time I discovered the infamous “Jager Bomb.” Moreover, it was the first time I blew $100 and didn’t have a freakin’ thing to show for it (besides a massive headache and an intense need for some vitamin “G” in the form of an omelet or plate of French fries from Denver Diner.) The next day I woke up in complete horror with the realization that I could have bought the adorable Steve Madden pumps I’d been eying for weeks. Damn! The harsh reality of drunken splurges dipping into my shopping budget was really annoying.”

She goes on to offer her tips to scoring free drinks and here’s a sample of that:

“Some girl trucker got on and got them all going. Stupid jerks.”

“What? What did she say?”

“Oh she said, I think I need to lose 5 pounds.”

I laughed.

“Yeah and some trucker said you don’t need to lose any weight. I just went by you and you looked fine to me. You only saw me from the shoulders up, she said. And then she gave her measurements and they really went nuts. They all started speeding up so they could see her.”

“Just to look at a women?”

“No, I am sure they think they are going to get laid,” he said.

“Are men that dumb?”

“Yeah, I’d say they are. The men I’ve met are mostly dumb when it comes to pussy. When it comes to pussy they have no brains at all.”

“You’d have not liked it,” I said. “Some guy was following me around the store. He even said he was following me.”"Did you tell him to piss off?”

“No.”

“Why not.”

I shrugged on my end of the phone. “Can’t say he was malicious, I guess. But he did collide with me 4 times. The 3 thirsd time he said, I’m following you. I didn’t react and then he managed to run into me one more time on the other side of the store. Hard to say it wasn’t purposeful.”

t-carat writes in regards to the soldier’s asserting that men act differently when women are around as opposed to when they are by themselves:

“They don’t want to get into a crummy fort, they want to get into where the decisions that affect the world are made and where the money is.

If a man can’t work and be himself where women are he’s been living in a cave for the last 2-3 decades…”

t-carat - in soldier’s case it’s been a lot longer that 3 decades he’s been living in a cave. Try many, many lifetimes, but here’s the thing:

I am not sure that relationship between men and women has actually evolved… or that it even can evolve. Women binding their feet years ago in China, did so to attract a man. These days they get breast implants and shoot their faces full of botox and I don’t see the difference. A woman gets money and power and her crotch still aches for a man.

Looking around in 2007, it may appear things have changed, but have they really? From the soldier’s (historical) perspective they have not changed at all. Estrogen is estrogen and testosterone, testosterone. We can dress it up in various ways but does that actually alter anything beneath the surface?

Do you think the interaction between men and women is primal / hard wired or do you think it’s on the move?
