really??

Tonight I went with my married friends to a honky tonk (that's a dancing place with lots of country music). I had a pretty darn good time, my two guy friends asked me to dance in between dancing with their ladies. It was fun to people watch and two-step (well, I tried, the guys pretty much flung me around and cracked up when the discovered when I am dipped I involuntarily squeak). But as a tall chick of 26 (almost 27.. gasp) most of the guys there were too short, too young or too with someone to catch my eye.

So the nights going fine and then some skinny weathered older dude comes up taps my shoulder and asks me to dance, i shrug and say "sure" after all, I had seen him dancing with a few other girls that night and he was pretty good (not very creepy, just ya know, an old dude at a honky tonk). I like to dance even if I am not very good.

So he starts doing this super complicated twisty turn step and I'm all "THAT'S NOT WHAT THE OTHER GUYS DID WHAT ARE WE DOING I'M DIZZY". Seriously. My thoughts were in all caps even.

So he leads me across the dance floor once , the song is hardly to the first chrous when he walks me off the dance floor says "I'm going to go find someone else. But" pats me on the shoulder in a pity type move "thanks anyways". He then walks off.

So I'm there stadning kinda stunned in front of the band.

Creepy (yes. NOW he is creepy) weathered older skinny short dude just gave me the brush off. I walk back to my friends a bit dazed and when they come back they asked why I look confused and I tell them.

Their response was pretty much just jaw drops and "no.. really? REALLY?"

Turns out all men are not southern gents. But my guy friends were great sports and great dancers and the ladies are super keen to hang out with.


Also, showed them the last three people Cupid matched me with. Two were super scary looking with super scary profiles and short. One guy looked normal, had  cute pics and then I noticed.... he was 5'4". Sorry, at 5'11" and a few cm that's a big ol no. Why can't I just filter out everyone under 5'8". The gang was horrified at the people that were being matched to me.

But on the bright side.... some fun dancing AND I saw Underworld 4 before that with my bro. All and all..... a decent night.
