University Blues #1 (Some Glances)

Tagged:  

Well, I started my second year of graduate school last week. I'm pretty blue about the whole thing, but more on that later. Today, I have an important subject to broach with the fine ladies here. 

Here's part one of the issue: when I walk around campus, I am usually wearing shorts or docker-style trousers with a button down shirt and sandals. I wear a mustache and am balding on the top like many fine Italian gentlemen. I'm a little on the short side. I like the way I look: definitely grad student, even professor-like at time, but this is a double edged sword.

Here's part two: there are a very large number of young women on campus who are quite fine (I get the understatement of the year award, no?). At least once I day I'll pass by one of them who smiles at me and looks me in the eye flirtatiously and we'll exchange hellos while another time a young woman may look straight ahead while grinning widely and pulling down her shirt over her bare belly to cover her hips. Sometimes this happens without me ever even glancing at them. I'm not sure how to interpret it; thus my question. Are these young women two different cases? I mean, are some of them flirting while others think I look so goofy it causes them to laugh at me?

In either case, I wish it would stop...kind of. I mean, its flattering, but there's not even a snowball's chance in Saudi that it'll lead to anything (Marine Corps discipline rocks!).

You have a vivid imagination sans pussy.

I'm afraid that they are flirting, a bit, with you. They probably don't mean anything by it, at that age, I flirted constantly, and it was completely unconscious. Don't sweat it, be friendly but at least slightly aloof.

They are flirting. They are responding to your wanton masculinity.

Unfortunately it has little to do with you personally and everything to do with them. They want your look back, that is all.

As a college professor I will tell you that these kids would flirt with a tree stump they thought it would affirm their budding little egos. They are figuring out if they are hot or not, and if so, how hot?

The South Park guys said that there is a time and a place for everything and that time and place is college.

LOL. Back home, I had another American convert freind who took way too much delight in mind-f'ing them by frowning, looking away, or a nice loud, "humph!" I guess he knew pretty well what you just told me...

Oh what a wet blanket with his humph.

Enjoy the hormonal flow, we'll all be dead before you know it.

There is a joke about the hadith on accidentally scoping the babes, "The first look is for you, the second look is against you." If so, then lengthen the first look.

>>If so, then lengthen the first look.

Yup, I'm well known among my post-Jumah lunchmates for lengthening the glance...

I love this. Though unfortunately the long first look is translated as creepy guy on subway, while the short first look followed by moving the eyes slightly with innocent smile is translated as yes, I want to be with this person immediately. The key is making sure that short first look looks good in and of itself!

Without going into detail that is.

We're talking about U of A, right? Where half the girls look like they just walked out of a Coppertone ad and wear an underwear-like wardrobe ten months of the year?

Um, yeah. I'm gonna be a Wahabi and just threaten you not to look.

U of A, correct. Its charitable to say half; I thought it was more like 3/4, lol!

Okay, listen up. If you had a beard, I could understand the reason for girls being attracted to you. But a bald headed mustached male isn't necessarily my cup of tea. And as you well know, tea is supposed to be HOT.

You're more like...milk. Old milk.

I never got to meet Omar this summer, he promised he would be coming down to San Diego like so many Arizonans do for vacation, they don't seem to like LA.

A bolding man isn't necessarily old mike per se, some men age well and even look better in their silver years than in their youth.
