From The BVX — The weather’s warmer and that means it’s “game on” for guys and girls looking for spring and summer flings. But wait a minute fellas, some of you need a refresher course on the rules of engagement so theBVX is giving you one woman’s perspective on the five biggest “don’ts” of hollering.
1. Honking: Losers in automobiles.
If my girlfriends and I had the power to remove horns from men’s steering wheels permanently, we would. I particularly can’t stand the guys who honk while I’m walking in the crosswalk. After you startled me half to death I’m supposed to look up, smile and ask to ride shotgun, right? Negro please.
2. Pssssssssssssssssssssssssst-ing: The cat-call is for actual cats.
I’m not in grade school anymore therefore it isn’t cute to try to get my attention like this. Grow up. Try expanding your vocabulary to “Hello” or “Can I talk to you for a second?” If I’m in a hurry you might still get shut down but at least I won’t walk away thinking you’re an idiot.
3. Telling us to smile: Your command doesn’t make us happy.
“C’mon sweetheart, it can’t be that bad, you can’t smile?” Although you may think this is a sure way to get an instant smile out of us, you’re sadly mistaken. I don’t understand how people are expected to walk down the street smiling all the time. How about I’ll smile when I have something to smile about, until then get off my back.
Love this article. So true. I especially hate the honking, and when they have six other people in the car!
PREACH. Men have no manners. Can I get a “Excuse me miss, I just wanted to let you know that you look beautiful today. My name is…”
instead of a AYYYYYYYYYYYYY PSSSSSSSSSST AYE MA! SWAWTYYYYYYY
Kiss my a** fools
I just wanted to come back and add this youtube video on the subject that I found: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2Qpi-fW6jA
Lol! Preach!
#6. When I say im not available. You take that as a polite no thank you. You do not ask me what it means or why.
#7. Do not lead by asking if I’m married and then assuming because I am not that you can holler. I would rather be alone than be with you.
#8. If I look like i have my stuff together, please look like you have your stuff together before hollering. If I am in a suit and you are in sagging pants, stop! go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200 and do not make me embarrass you on the street by having me tell you about yourself.
#9. Back to the car scenario. NEVER ever holler out of the passenger side.
#10. There should be no references to any parts of my or your anatomy in your pickup line.
girl yes!!!! how dare they even consider hollering out of th PASSENGERS side… I agree with th matching my fly.. if i’m in a car…. please be in a car, YOUR car. If i have a blackberry, PLEASE do not have a Boost Mobile phone! If it is meant to be, then dog gon it, it will be… BUT until then read and study these damn rule!
Thank you Clutch for posting this article!
All I have to say is, when did “Damn Ma, you have a fat ole’ a**!” become a suitable pick up line?
What is even worse is that now the “good guys” are taking on this “I’m uncouth thug” persona, in order to score attention from the opposite of sex, but they don’t know how to turn it off, so they are telling both hoodrats and young ladies that they have a ‘fat ole’ a**’ and how they want to ‘holla’ at them.
This is hilarious!! lol Many of these happened to me at one point!
I experience number 3 a lot. I try not to have a mean face on, but I’m not cheesing all day either.
I always keep a straight face. Sometimes I do slip a laugh…
