SCRAM!

You woke up late and on the wrong side of the bed, got stuck in massive amounts of traffic on the way to the office and screwed up a monumentally big project for your boss! Not all the chocolate, rainbows and butterflies in the word could put a smile on your face after this kind of day. The only one true thing that could cure a day like this from its entire atrociousness is a night out with your closest friends. One of those nights when you just want to laugh so hard until you pee your pants a little, share mindless banter about nothing. The last thing on your mind is small talk with men you are not the least bit interested in, this can only add to your aggravation for the day. Going back and forth with question and answer like you’re a contestant on the dating game is not on the night’s agenda. Sometimes you really just want to be left alone!

So your at the at the club/bar/lounge, laughing ,dancing what have you when you notice that unwanted persons/creeps are trying to make way into your group. Your subtle attempts to drive him away are just not registering in his brain because it’s overcrowded with thoughts of “I need/want to get laid tonight”. He’s not giving up and refuses to believe he doesn’t have a shot.

In my experience I have witnessed most women do the wrong thing here making their night stressful. She’s most likely thinking to herself “I don’t want to be a complete bitch, but I don’t want him to get the wrong idea, so if he offers me a drink I will graciously accept, walk away and hope he leaves me alone” WRONG!!!! This thought process actually makes me chuckle! My thought process and strategy is of course not the above.


Never under any circumstance be drinkless. I don’t care if you just finished the 12th step of the program, hold water. Being empty handed is his way in; all creeps bring their “C” level game using the “U need a drink” technique as a segue to asking you lame question after lame question. Do not accept the drink he offers with the hopes of being left alone for the remainder of the night. He will find you; it’s as if the bar charges an extra $10.50 for the option to have a liquid form of LoJack put in the drink. You want to accept the drink; be prepared to accept your fate for the night; he’s not going away!

Just don’t stand alone. You are like bait to sharks in open water. The creeps will keep circling around you getting closer and closer until finally they attack you with a cheap pick up line. An actual shark bite would probably be less painful than some of the lines I have been prey to.
Don’t be the bait; surround yourself with friends having an organized structure and defense like a Lion part of a Pride!

If the first two are unavoidable and all else fails there is only one method left. Unfortunately for him this is where your alto ego "Ms. DB" must make a brief cameo. If he is persistent in his efforts, thinking he’s “The Little Engine that Could”, laugh and literally tell him; “Pal, you are clearly the Little Engine that Couldn’t”. He will probably disappear so fast they will be calling you the next David Copperfield! And Please ladies do not feel bad after the fact, if he didn’t get the hint after his one two many meek attempts failed; his feelings should not even be under consideration.

Sometimes we just want to left alone; trust me men you would know if we wanted to be your bait, drink your drink, or give your engine a go!
