But then I also believe in mermaids and pixie dust. 🙄

Sara!! 😡
Got it? Good. Public service announcement over.
Yes. I went out again last night. Why? Idk. And not dancing. Just went to a karaoke place. It actually started out really fun. Then the jerks showed up.
And I know that at least half the problem is me. My tolerance for assholery is so low. Why is that? Ugh, idk. 🤦

@PlumBerries Hahaha "douchehat"!! Lol, a new word for me.
Yeah, he started out trying to be cool. He tried to serenade me with a song, but was clearly drunk. And then somehow thought I owed him something because he sang me a song. 🙄
And my friends invited him to sit with us, which was fine. I couldn't believe how well he sang given how drunk he sounded when he started talking. 🙄
But the problem started next. Somehow in his mind, the fact that he sang to me and sat for five minutes with us meant I should go off with him. I told him I was quite comfortable sitting here with my friends and he was welcome to stay or go. That seemed to get him mad and he actually tried to grab me. Big mistake.
@Paliglass Centaurs I might question, but I know well of the Nymph world. Although something we should speak so freely of, I have posted of nymphs here.
I just have this feeling you would be tons of fun to sing karaoke with. But to the point of your post, I don't know what magic gift you have, but it does seem like assholery is just drawn to you. I don't know how any guy can think that sort of behavior is okay!
That's why i don't go out anymore, my tolerance for assholery <fantastic term, btw> is zero; once the meatheads show up, i get irritated and become irritating to anyone i'm with, thereby ruining the evening, cause i can't let go of it! And what really amazes me is, the meatheads don't really seem to bother anyone else?! I don't understand, so i pin it on my age, <i don't consider myself very old though> and stay home,, the drinks are cheaper and i can hear the game.....there's my vent, sorry so long winded, you struck a nerve!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗
@sarabee1995 at least with sports bars it's usually just rowdy fans, not rowdy for, what do i say here, attention? Your Dad's place sounds great, perhaps you could just seek the invite there!!
It's not a bad thing that your tolerance for assholery is low.
I may have to write a story because I remember something striking my bf said on this topic some years ago that I really liked, and changed a little bit of how I viewed something.
Anyway... The lack of patience, apathy, or mirth over some men being idiots does seem to make it difficult for you to enjoy yourself anywhere assholes/idiots bother you though. Perhaps there's a way to distract yourself from remaining frustrated or something? Or maybe you can bring a friend along when you go out. I used to have a friend who would drag me out to bars to help her because her tolerance was really low for certain kinds of things from guys, and then guys would see her as really bitchy when she wasn't happy, etc.
America really needs to take a leaf from China when it comes to karaoke and have karaoke places where it's all private rooms you can lock. you rent a room for friends and yourself for a couple hours, and you bring your own drinks and snacks and dance and sing, etc.
@Scribbles I actually love that private karaoke room idea. I'd so do that.
As for last night, I actually was with friends. It was warm so I took off the light sweater I had on and that left me in a racer-back tank and jeans. Somehow he noticed my shoulders and arms and wanted to know my workout routine.
I was ignoring him at first, but then he actually sang me a song. I will admit that was pretty cool (and he was good) and got him some points. My friends invited him to sit with us and that's when I noticed how drunk he was.
Anyway, he got grabby and wanted me to go take a walk with him. When I declined a few times he got upset and things spiraled downward from there. 🤷
@Zonuss Yes, true. I know this. The challenge for those of you who are actually gentlemen is how to stand out among the pigs and creeps and pervs who dominate in today's world. But yes, there are many great guys out there. :)
It’s a strange term here, because although it is what it is, to say that someone is a total wanker means more along the lines of a very unpleasant person. Don’t know why. @sarabee1995
@BiasForAction The only person not safe this particular night was him. Fortunately, I was in a forgiving mood and the only bruise he received was to his ego.
