You should get buddy buddy with him.

I was approached by a guy at a social function, he was one of the yuppie types, talked alot about work, his investments, travel, cars, boat, houses, etc....

Well during this me and another woman were hitting it off....I don't really paw at them in public, but it was clear we were leaving together once things died down.

Well I go to get drinks for the two of us and schmuck boy (40's-50's, balding, tall and in shape) comes up and took care of the bill sort of in an as$holish way, but I ain't going to turn down a free drink...

Tells me he noticed 'my friend' and how beautiful she is and all this, and then he goes on about how I am keeping this lady from her true potential and I need to stop sheltering my 'friend' and let her get out and mingle and met potential bachelors like himself.

I then snicker, and say I just met her, I have no idea who she really is, but I think I am going to find out more about her as the night goes on....that she is free to do whatever she wants, we have no attachments.

He pulls the 'let me tell you something guy to guy' thing and lets me know I am out of my league and even he is pushing it with such a woman....that I need to face the facts and a guy like me just has no place with a woman like that unless I like heartbreak....I tell him like I said, we are just talking, no heart strings being pulled or any of that crap....just two people drinking the night away talking....

I dropped the conversation and went back to her. I told her about the conversation and we laughed about it and she got closer to me in the body language and touching. Perhaps he helped me.

well the damn burst on my bladder and I had to go to the restroom. I come back after a semi long wait in line and idiot has her in a corner....she is obviously uncomfortable,but at the same time I am thinking I was reading too much into it.

[Later on I found out he first tried to talk to her and then got more and more forward dropping names and knocking her 'financial state' down and mine and telling her how they can help each other.....he kept trying to touch her and crap so she backed up and backed up. Even as far as commenting about her breasts as he tried to touch them.....(her story after all this).]

So I get there and obviously I don't know her that well yet (like 2 hours) and I don't know this guy...but I know she mentioned he was 'laughable' and I could tell she was not comfortable more and more by the second.

I just tried to start back up the conversation and play it off saying hi to him also...then Daddy pulls the hand on my chest and tells me 'grown ups are trying to talk son, please take your Busch beer or whatever it is back to the bar' Now one I drink bud light or miller lite and he knew that since he bought my drink and hers :), and two although this guy was taller I probably had 20lbs of muscle on him and I am far more insane ;)

I am still not sure how to proceed....I mean the girl could have be interested for all I know and I am not someone who's going to fight for tail I don't even know.

Well as he was pushing me back she ducked around him and behind me. He told her something like 'get the F back over here now, I wasn't done talking to you'

WTF....she gives me a light shove from the back 'like a go get him' ;) So I did...I first just got verbal and who knows what I said, but the nuckfut threw his shot (drink) on me and with that I just took his legs out and pushed him back into the corner with my foot and held him there as I continued you berate him and ask him where's his house in the hills now (stupid stuff I know) :) That was shortlived as security guys grabbed me and lead me out....she followed though...I was worried at first though because she looked pissed, I didn't know what the deal was going to be...I really thought she was going to be pissed at me starting a fight, even though I didn't start it.

her words 'I wanted you to go to my room anyway, now follow me'

she also knew I was dirt poor at the time (it was during when my ex-fiancee cleaned me out )

indeed. I didn't read anything about a middle aged nerd. Dezign and Alkemyst tend to post similarly tangental stories/pics/comments.

I was scared after reading all that, alkemyst's story was going to end something like

"...I took his legs out and started pulling on one of them like I'm pulling yours."

:)

He said all of this as if it were a completely normal thing to do! I didn't really feel threatened but I was just speechless and avoided him whenever possible after that.


A conversation like that with a male coworker would creep me out.

Just to clarify, I am a woman. I wonder if his pleas for help were ever answered by a willing female? :eek: (doubtful if you were to meet him).

That is one of the most horrible things I've ever heard... It is amazing that guy had the guts to ask you for that kind of favor.

You should have referred him to Craiglist.

haha, yeah but all he'd get are gay guys posing as women! ;)

Anyways 50 yo whore whatever, she was the one guys wanted that night so whatever. She also lives bi-coastal, has a dual masters degree, and a ton of other things most of you guys only talk about in contemplation as you are dreaming of what a woman is really like.

Yeah I am all about pulling legs and making up a life I'd love to have.

If I had something to prove I could just post all the women I have pics of on a page and then have all the 'pups' here claim they are just friends or whatever.

It's a no win situation, that's what 90% of the people here don't get....it's the way it goes...the more you shine the more the masses are going to get upset about it as they sit playing a card game or FPS/RPG online hoping to meet a girlfriend through a game....

Most of my stories I can't even post because even people who were there can't believe what happened yet alone people who didn't witness it.

So believe or don't, I am just providing 15mins snippets of a few nights of mine here and there.

I'm not really doubting the authenticity of your story. You seem like a good looking guy, and that girl in the pic wasn't so immensely hot as to arouse suspicion. The question was really why you thought this was germane. But hey, whatever floats your boat man <shrug>.

It was germane because the guy in my story was one of those middle aged types....I tried to describe him, but I guess seeing him would better explain it.

I wouldn't say that woman in my picture was 'smoking hot' either based on the picture alone. However she was the one at the place all the other guys wanted. Educated and an excellent dancer. So much is lost in a picture about a person.

So posting that pic also related since there was the flocking of middle aged guys during that scene too that were dropping their accomplishments in life.

The best so far has been a young chick I used to hang out with (she was 18 or 19 and I was 30), we 'dated' I guess, she wanted sex, I wanted her just as a friend to hang out with on non-date nights, but it was too wierd for me as it was and we drfited apart because of that :)....anyway she worked a teen clothes store in the mall and constantly 40-50yo+ types would come in and offer the girls and her opportunities to never have to work again (yeah right)....a couple girls tried and got the fairy princess date, sex, sometimes once, sometimes a few times, but it always ended up in one day no more calls.

She also was talking to this Miami attorney online for a while (she was an IM Whore :) amazing her machine didn't crash with the windows)....he said he was older, not so attractive, but had a good personality, etc....she wanted a picture....the guy first sent a boat picture...without him in it.....then a house picture....then a car...view from his oceanfront office....etc....it was pissing her off because he'd always act like he didn't get it. He finally sent the a face shot...he wasn't that bad....definitely their looks would have clashed but she gave him a couple dates to try....they actually got along well which surprized me. The deal breaker was she was into weed and rolling.....he pulled the 'family sit down' meeting with her and that was that.

I have learned that no means no and women may not come out and directly say no but when they do not say yes they mean no.

On one hand this situation is freaking hilarious but on the other hand it's really sad. I mean the guy seriously has no clue.
To be quite honest, if I were the electronics distributor owner I'd tell the guy to clean up his act or else just fork right off. What an @ss.
