Im about to vent a little...so if you dont want to hear it...just step aside...
The dance that men and women do when it comes to dating and sex is as old as time...I know over the years the idea of whats acceptable and unacceptable as far as the dating /sexual pick up line has changed. In my opinion not always for the better.
But I would like to meet the guy who came up with the phrase "So its like that"? Who was this guy? And when did his fellow male peers decide this one was a keeper?
Since Ive been in college Ive been exposed to assorted social events. Inevitably anytime you are out and about where social adult beverages are being consumed you are more than likely subject to the random flirtation or pick up line from the opposite sex. This is to be expected. But Id like to know what brain child decided that the best way to guilt a woman who's probably already declined your most generous invitation of carnal pleasure into changing her mind about having sex was to say to her "So its like that"
"So its like that Jen" ??? Hell yes its like that dumb ass....
Do you really think that I'm afraid to let you know it is indeed "like that"? I have to wonder how many women were of such low self esteem and or socially afraid to let you know that it was "like that" for them as well? Because the thing about lines like these is they wouldn't be used or popular if somewhere some place it wasn't working for them. Speaking as a female...that all in itself is sort of sad when you think about it.
Just for the record...I'm not quite sure what exactly"that" is...Or why it being "like that" is such a bad thing. But if you have nothing better to offer me than some lame attempt to make me feel guilt by using this line on me.....Save yourself the effort and time. Because friends and neighbors..for this girl It most certainly is "like that"...and If and when that changes...The guy in question wont have to ask me if "its like that" to find that out.

Hey Jen!
Nice vent. I wouldn't care too much about the guy who slanders a woman because she has more spine and moral fibre than he does.
Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies?
It's a shame that some women do fall for it though... obviously rubies aren't that valuable anymore.
Hey Ryan
Thank you.
I always think its a shame when someone doesnt think about what it is they really want...not for the moment..but for themselves and the life they wish to have.
To me..its about the choices we make and how we want to see ourselves in the mirror isnt it?
I am like you- I've never understood that particular line or how it was supposed to work.
Am I supposed to say, "Oh! I didn't mean for you to think it was 'like that'! Let me fall over on my back for you!"
If I were a woman, my response to "so, it's like that?" would be:
"I really didn't want to hurt your fragile ego, but the reason I said what I said was to let you off easy. You, Sir, are frankly not intelligent enough for me."
Well at least they aren't walking away saying "Heh, she's a lesbo...." Which is what I have heard some idiots say when turned down. As if no straight girl could possibly decline their attention.
So are you going to post more than once every three months now???????

Exactly...what was I thinking..if its "like that" I would be crazy to pass on that wouldnt I?
LOL

Im thinking if youre using the "So its like that" line you have more ego than intelligence anyway..and anything I said would be totally lost on you.

Yeah...Ive heard the lesbian comments too. Those make me laugh. It just proves they are totally clueless. lol
Yessss Im going to try and post more often. I know Ive been a slacker...But Im going to try and do better.
It sounds like some stupid catch phrase some frat boy picked up in a movie and can't let it go.
My response would have been, "Yes, like that, you aren't getting any and definitely not from me."

I haven't used or heard a line in fifty years or so, but it seems to me that the obvious answer to his question is "Yup", and an obvious shift to conversation with someone else. (If available, if not, turn on your heels and walk away.)
haha, very funny again...we are very rude...but....it's like that.
