Prospective Student: So, um, how old are you?

Rae: er...he’s not in his 30’s yet, it’s prolly ok to give him my real age.…32.

PS: *face lights up*

Rae: Drat. Guessed wrong. But I’m extremely immature for my age.

PS: *laughs too hard* *stares at Rae’s boobs*

Rae: *crosses arms* So, you thinking to start Aug 22?

PS: Well, I have to go to San Diego this month for a while. I’m, um, looking for someone to drive down with.

Rae: *stares blankly, pretending to be stoopid.*

PS: Yeah, uh, we could go to Hooters for dinner.

Rae: WHA??? Yes, YOU could. do NOT ask him to bring you back a shirt. Do NOT ask him. …Alrighty then…I’ll give you a call and follow up with you later if you’re interested in attending here.

PS: Well, I wouldn’t want to miss an opportunity to see you every day.

If he calls again, I’ll be sure to work in the fact that I write science fiction and fantasy. That usually gets ‘em to run screaming.

Nah. He'll just ask if you write stories about lesbian robot women with ginormous hooters....

You're making the part about Hooters up, right?

Be careful with the Sci-Fi/Fantasy thing... it might send a good portion of the population running, but the ones that don't run will be stuck on you forever.

Not making it up. And you're sooo not helping.

You could always say you write feminist literature (not stories, mind you, literature). That might do the trick.

Or casually mention that you don't shave your legs. Ever.

If those two don't help you, I'm afraid I don't know what will.

Why? Do most women shave their legs or something???

So..uhm... Fantasy/Sci Fi, huh?

*dies* Doode. You're going to have to stop wearing make up and dressing nicely. Go to work like a bum.

(that probably won't help much either, but it's worth a shot)

Nah, it won't. The casual look can be kind of a turn on, too.

Yep. He's right. Jeans and a T-shirt and we start creating all sorts of fantasies that she is a 'no frills' woman. It takes a while to learn that every woman on the planet loves extra decorative pillows on her bed. There are no exceptions. It is only a myth we are chasing...

Also, warning: he may only focus on the "fantasy" part of "writing science fiction and fantasy."

Well, in case you change your mind, the Hooters buffalo wings are pretty good. ^_~

Conversely, you could tell him you write gay porn.

You're a frickin genius. He's ex-Navy, so that will be perfect.

Dude. I've been there once. Lured by my brother's promise of awesome buffalo wings.

Those things suck! There is absolutely no redeeming qualities about the place. The food sucks.

And my RA in college already told me it is always low class to flirt with a waitress in any restaurant (especially a place like Hooters). Reason: They have to put up with it all the time, and they tolerate it only because they want the tip.

Unless you're the kind of Hooters waitress who gives out her business card to customers and tells them to give her a call when she's off-shift. *coughs delicately*

Ummmm...I wouldn't know. I don't give off that powerful masculine presence that makes women swoon and volunteer phone numbers. Never had that problem. Always the opposite.

*wishes*

*takes back wish, such power would only get me in trouble*

:D

Um, Aaron, I was saying those waitresses sideline as prostitutes.

Ah. Well then I never tipped enough that they thought I could afford them then.

Wait a tic...ex military? Does he still have the military bod? Other than the Hooters thing, why, exactly, are you trying to dissuade him?

(Sorry...too much talk of [livejournal.com profile] ccfinlay's butt over in his LJ.)

He might have been a fun toss in the sack. If I did that sort of thing.

Alas...

Because everyone remembers all those decades I spent serving in the military.

Oh, wait, that's [livejournal.com profile] sksperry. Somehow his comments ended up on my posts.

(And I don't think there's really anything safe to say -- whether it's I write SF/gay porn, don't shave, etc. -- besides "Sorry, not interested. Better luck next time.")

No, no, no. He'll be another Jedi Knight who wants to work on the Enterprise and writes Klingon poetry on the side.

I think there are a lot of those out there.

You could tell him you write gay feminist literature with a science fiction and fantasy twist, dealing primarily with the patriarchal society's pressure on women to shave their legs.

Or you could tell him you have kids.

That will usually send a single man running for the hills.

Print out a copy of Josh's photo from my LJ and gush fatuously about your wonderful little genius. If that doesn't do it, he might be a keeper *grins evilly*
