Well, there's a reason why I posted this in "Brandon chatter" and not in "dating & relationships".
I don't know since when an attraction to opposite sex is considered creepy and a friendly small talk is misconstrued as pick-up line. It's just basic physics and symbiotic biology. Yes, I'm attracted to women. Yes, I make small talks with everyone and more with women. No, I don't expect anyone to reciprocate. No, I'm not complaining. I'm just expressing my observation after moving to Brandon.
For folks wondering about my conversation with men and others;
"Are you serious? I hate you already" - To guys pumping heavier weights at gym
"Feel free to call the ambulance if you see me passed out, or you'll be reason for my death" - To anyone walk pass me at gym
"You're a racist" - To a 7th grade kid for not understanding my English (of course, in front of his mom)
"Are you saying no to me just because I'm not white?" - To a mature woman patient in hospital
"Could you please wait? I wanna tell the stylist to make me look like you" - To guys at salon
"If you guys think I'm following you, you're damn right" - To a couple I bumped into again and again (by accident) in Walmart
The list goes on and all were strangers. I didn't plan or think, I just said what came to my mind at that time. Was it awkward/stupid/inappropriate - Hell yeah! Did we have a good laugh - You bet!
I ain't Einstein, but it's just hard to not notice when I jog in Victoria and everyone passing by says hi, except a certain gender in a certain age group at a certain city. I simply thought it's a good topic for ebrandon. Especially,
- when kids can take a joke and don't find me creepy
- when guys/mature women can take a compliment and don't find me hitting on them
- when a patient can laugh so easily
I just find it interesting that young women in this nice little city of "friendly" Manitoba to be bit serious. I still don't get it, but I can see your points. Thanks everybody and sorry eh
