I am glad I am not single…
Posted by dulwichmum on Fri 13 March 2009
I have often wondered why self- assured men are so very attractive (sigh). I myself am physically perfect (runs meticulously manicured hand through glossy locks), but have been drawn to less than stunning male specimens in the past… Are women simply drawn by self confident, powerful pack leaders?
I heard this tale about girl was out with friends having drinks on King St (in Toronto) and I felt compelled to share it with you. Olga was approached by a confident young man who would not leave her alone – saying how cute she was. She finally relented and gave the gentleman her business card. The attached is an MP3 file of not one, but TWO voicemails this chap left her. This is a classic.
Clearly, self confidence is simply not enough. I love my man and thank God I am not single.
Can I offer anyone a drink?

Dear DM – the thing about nature is it abhors a vacuum. Ugly obnoxious people need love too, it’s just that they need to work harder at it, hence nature allowing the date from hell to score now and again by simply being over confident. Well, that and an overindulgence of alcohol on the part of the female being targeted. Clearly yer man in the little vignette hasn’t realised that he has much more work to do before even getting a hug let alone a bonk or a long term relationship. Why, if it wasn’t for mind altering drugs or in fact TV how on earth do you think that people like Mr Potato Head aka Greg Wallace of Masterchef fame would get to grips with anything resembling a female that wasn’t made of rubber and came with a footpump eh? Clearly being a TV celebrity overrides what nature gave you so that you can charm your way into the underwear of nubile young women as young as 21. Life eh, it’s a funny old thing, yessir!

He sounds swell.
“If you are psychologically normal call me.”
I would so call him back a 3.05 on Thursday.

Oh that’s creepy. That’s so creepy I’m going to have nightmares – is this how city people behave? What’s wrong with dance cards and parental introductions?! I’m shocked. Shockingly shocked. The presumption of a young woman to hand a man her card in the street…

Good God!

Can you say restraining order?

what did he say? “Nobody gives out a business card and says call me and then never calls back” ?
uhm, sorry to burst the (very big and shiny) bubble, but outside of Lala land this does happen – heck, that is one of the smoothest get-aways ever! Specially if he is as talkative in person as when talking to an unanimated answering machine. I would even consider printing fake business cards, just as a precaution should I ever happen to stumble across Dimitri, the assertive greek who gets approached six times a day and is great in bed (she says with her impression of Cylla’s voice)

He sounds like a stalker waiting to happen. He’s HORRIBLE. This isn’t about confidence – this is how he establishes controls by making assumptions refusing to acknowledge that she was saying she wasn’t interested.
Lots of signals here to say it’s time to screen calls and NEVER speak to him again.
Textbook example of a nutter.

Oh. My. Goodness!! I am a single sister living in Toronto and when she tells me that all the men there are ‘weird’ and strange I just put it down to her being picky.
I can’t decide whether this is the funniest or scariest thing ever! Regardless I’ve posted it on my facebook because it has to be heard….haha
I owe my sis an apology!
