rant: Asking friends for a hookup

[vital]

So when I see a hot chick's pic on any of my female friend's myspace/friendster, I'm tired of them telling me that I don't wanna get hooked up with their friends because they're either too high maintenance or a total bitch to men. Why can't they just set us up a date and let me decide for myself? What's it suppose to mean when they say they're too high maintenance for me? And why would I care if they're a total bitch to men if I just wanna have some fun.

Because they're good friends and want to keep you from making a bad mistake? Or maybe they just want to hoard the hot chicks to themselves.

I don't want to sound harsh, I've been in similar situations but my experience is that they think you might not be good enough (for your interest) in their eyes. Either physically, financially or some other factor.

Or they might actually be being really honest and saving you from a burn.

Maybe the problem is the problem is with YOU and not the friend, and they're just trying to be polite.

or maybe they don't think you're good enough for them?

 

[deadlyapp]

Or maybe they don't want you dating their FRIEND?!

 

[masterxfob]

how about you get a date on your own? or maybe that's the problem, and that's why your friends don't want to hook you up.

Well, I'd say it's one of two things:

1) The person really is a PITA, and your friends are actually trying to be friend-ish by warning you ahead of time

2) Your friends don't think the person would be interested in you, and instead of giving some brutal honesty, they just tell you that she's not your type

Either way, if you really want to go for the person even after the words of caution, no one's really stopping you. Just message them on your own; it's always easier to talk to people when you have common friends.
