Random Conversation

I just had one of the worst lunches in recent memories.

My (male) coworkers and I decided to try the Tilted Kilt Restaurant that just opened up by our work. I've been to Hooters before with them and it was fine.

But this was possibly the worst lunch ever. Besides the fact that I felt fat and that I was a genius, the food sucked. They got all of our meals wrong in one way or another, but not one of the men complained about it. LOL.

The conversation was very stimulating: it consisted of all of them deciding which girl was the "best one". I updated Facebook and finished my Scrabble game on my phone during lunch.

Then our waitress, who was about as smart as a box of rocks, asked me more than once what kind of dressing I wanted on my chicken ceasar salad. Are ya kidding me??? Then I didn't even get the chicken with my salad. ARGH! I didn't complain because this chick was seriously so dumb, I don't think she would have understood me anyway. LOL.

So, I ended up paying $16 for a ceasar salad that was DRENCHED in dressing and pretty disgusting and to hear my coworkers basically objectify women to the Nth degree and ignore me for the most part.

Every woman we ran into at that place had an IQ of a box of rocks. I'm not kidding.

Not only am I completely depressed about my own body, but I'm also looking at my Engineer coworkers in a new and not so good light. Really, guys? Because half of their boobs were hanging out you think this was the greatest place ever? I'm seriously down on men right now.

I need to drop about 40 pounds and about 30 IQ points, apparently, if I want to get a man. :roll: Jesus.

Maybe you are running in the wrong circle. Maybe you should look for a more intellectual group. :p

That's the price of being friends with men my friend.
If you want to lose weight for you do it but don't do it for men baby girl. It'll just make you self conscious for no reason.

I've never run into the absolute BS I ran into at lunch today. 5 minutes into the lunch, I looked at all of them checking out all of the waitresses and not acknowledging that I even exist and I checked out of the lunch.

I've haven't felt this horrible about myself in a really long time.

You're absolutely right, it is a competition and I was just made to realize that I'm out of contention at the moment. :(

I'm so very sorry, especially that your co-workers acted like such assholes in public.

Bookie, think about it a minute. You're the woman these guys see day in and day out - and take for granted like they do their wives & girlfriends. You're out of contention because of that alone.

The guys I worked with were pretty open with me, but I never felt I was *in* contention because I was a co-worker. I was about as exiting as their desk chair because I was just always there. The closest any of them ever came to flirting with me was telling me not to wear short skirts after my knee surgery because the scar grossed them out. :-)
 
Awww Bookie dont be down on yourself. Would you really want to date a guy like any of the ones in that group? didn't think so. You are fab just the way you are. Don't allow other peoples BS to bring you down xo

Smart doesn't mean socially adept as you've seen today. You are not out of contention girl, you just were surrounded by kids at a candy shop today and it isolated you. You ARE beautiful exactly the way you are TODAY Bookie, always remember that. Beautiful outside and IN.

On the bright side, you've eliminated a bunch of turds from your potential dating pool. :D

Maybe you should go to lunch with all women next time...
I don't think 30 or 40 pounds will help with attracting this group of men to you. These guys are well paid engineers and I think they know exactly what they looking for. They want the barbie type...and to be honest...after all those long hours in school and having to pay for expensive college educations....

Can you blame these men for wanting all of their hard work to pay off ?...Regardless of how it may make you personally feel...these guys are in the best part of their lives and want to live.
Btw...Hooters has nasty food too!

I don't get why what they did was wrong?
If I hung out with a bunch of women who were oogling other men how could I be upset about it? Especially if that's what they do in their free time.

They didn't do anything wrong, and in my perspective if that is not the kind of guy Bookie wants, then she's quickly eliminated them from her dating pool.


By "kind of guy" I mean one who oogles other woman in front of her. They probably were completely unconscious of Bookie's feelings but hopefully the man that is lucky to date her will be more attentive and not invite her to a boobie bar. lol
