So, I mentioned in a few threads that this weekend I was going to try to be a 'mean girl' and just see what happened. So, I put on my big girl jeans (as well as a TON of makeup...yick) and went out on the town.

I got 6 phone numbers. SIX FREAKING PHONE NUMBERS. I actually got in an argument with some guy, poured a gin and tonic on him and he asked me out. He also bought me another gin and tonic.

I tripped someone and laughed at him, he gave me a hug and asked if I wanted to hang out sometime.

I told some guy his car sounded lame and that maybe he should be hitting on men instead of women (it hurt me to say this, to be honest ) and rolled my eyes. No smile, dead serious. He laughed and asked if I wanted to go for a drive sometime.

I TOLD 3 guys to buy me drinks. One said no, the others did with no hesitation. I didn't even say thank you, got my drink and walked away. One of them followed me around asking me out until I left.

A few other things happened, but those were the biggies.

Maybe I should just start acting mean to get dates. I had one of them write his number on a cocktail napkin, I looked at it, said I changed my mind and tore it up. He proceeded to try and give me his business card.

Wow. I'm just stunned. It took a lot out of me to act this way (I'm never mean unless provoked) so I don't plan on doing it again, but it still shocked me.

But hey, at least I can't say I've never been hit on anymore

I understand, and I still don't think all men like the mean girls just as all women don't love bad boys, but this was absolutely incredible to me. I've never even received a phone number before with the intention of going on a date. Ever. In my life. And all of a sudden I get 6 in the span of maybe 4 hours.

I also have no doubt whatsoever that there were good guys there completely turned off by my bitchy behavior and its' a bummer I missed out on them, but an experiment is an experiment.

i can get a lot of food cheap from the dumpsters they have out back, however paying for it ensures i get exactly what i want without the risk of dirtying myself or making myself sick on soured offerings

read into this what you will for how i feel about changing who you are to get noticed.

Looking at your pic and reading your profile I find it very disturbing you don't get more numbers. There's a lot of stupid dudes out there apparently.

The guy I purposely spilled the Gin and Tonic on was a student getting a masters in Mechanical Engineering at the local University. I have a degree in AE so I quizzed him and it seemed legit. This guy was smart AND good looking.

The rest of the guys were solidly above average in looks and personality except for one who may have been an ex convict.

See above...these weren't low class men, except for one.

Apparently, I'm not 'mean' enough.

I don't plan on calling any of the guys, nor do I plan on doing this again. It was just an interesting experiment, that's all

I didn't need to read this thread to come to that conclusion. other women already know this to be a fact of life too.

Interesting. I had a friend, she was a complete user, psychotic, and major bad news. I had been friends with her since grade school, and so, I knew her pretty well. She cheated on men, used them for cash, was completely mean to men...and...had men completely falling over themselves to date her...she would not even have sex with them...it was amazing to me.

Men want mean girls. Qualify that...men who have issues, want mean girls. Men who are well adjusted, and normal, seek other well adjusted, normal women. So...throw away those phone numbers, that is for sure...you don't want those guys, they are messed up.

education/looks/position in life means nothing to a persons character or who they are once you get a little deeper in. its a nice start to what could be something great, but its never the the means to the end.
but as you probably know that's the "fun" of dating random people. you never know how much of a lunatic they really are until they are totally comfortable with you
