Girls Gone Mad


I think there are 3 girls now who have, in a short space of time, basically demonstrated a similar - nay identical - modus operandi.

What happens is for whatever reason contact is made, but then instead of subsequent voice to voice communication, there's an attempt to go sms, or Facebook. For example immediately after they send an sms, if you call, they don't respond (unless by sms or email or some other non voice delaying tactic medium)

Two of these individuals I've met, and both are, let's say in the A income group when it comes to looks. (Unfortunately it's also true that they make the F income group when it comes to brains). A third I have never met, and was given her number by an auntie who thought I might like to make friends in a faraway city.

Now I assume that in terms of a Go/No Go frame of mind (in terms of being open to the opposite sex), these 3 Queens of Mental are definitely NO GO. In two cases neither of these girls had boyfriends (the third I just have no way of knowing) - in fact one claimed to have been involuntarily single for 2 years - which makes one wonder, what scheme is actually in play here.

Obviously - despite a number of suggestions to the contrary - I am not Mr Cassanova. The point is just that the female of the species ought to remember that a certain course of action, instead of discouraging certain behaviour might actually, gasp, encourage it. So, for example, if you don't want a guy to contact you, and you don't respond to his calls, except through staggered sms/emails etc, what you're indirectly doing is encouraging a longish message to be sent in small, broken, barely decipherably morse-code like signals.

So if a guy calls, and you don't want to talk to him, a very quick way to communicate this message is to answer in a friendly tone (try not to incur spiteful, unfriendly, or reproachful responses), and say: "Look I am not going through a very good time. It would help me if you and a lot of other men didn't contact me for a while. Believe me."

Most men I think will get the message: UNSTABLE PSYCHO ALERT!

Of course by not communicating this dodgy message the male then does what he is genetically predisposed to do. He knocks (for it has been foretold, the door will be opened).

Except, for young Romeo it becomes a lesson in futility, and a test of his IQ. Just how dumb is our young Romeo? Sometimes the lower the IQ of an object of affection, the higher the IQ of the pursuer who continues to pursue (because he just cannot understand what is happening, and his last thought must be that the object of his affection is incredibly stupid).
On the other hand, perhaps the longer the Romeo is engaged in this lesson in futility, the more powerful the female of the species sees herself to be (IQ's aside). Perhaps this is the point of the exercise from the word go.
