Just a Suggestion

In honor of women's history month here is some advice for the females:

When my best friend Anna gives you a ride home to Brooklyn on her bike after a Folksinger open mic do not ask Anna how best to land Anna's ex-boyfriend. This is in poor taste. Do not furhter worry that if you pursue Anna's ex-boyfriend that you may ruin the friendship between you and Anna's ex-boyfriend. Maybe you should be worried about ruining any congeanality you have with Anna who just peddled her little feet off to get you're untalented ass home, and now has to peddle up a big hill from your side of the borough to hers in the dark, with very poor night vision. Anna might not want to hear about how you get so excited you barely can speak when her exboyfriend is near you. I doubt she wants to hear about his lovely eyes. Because you know what lady? Her ex-boyfriend doesn't have lovely eyes--they are cold and hard. I know this, everyone who is not Hellen Keller knows this, even Anna, who really cared about her exboyfriend. But that affection did not cloud her vision to the reality of her former flame. Which is why it's completely insensitive to go on and on about the connection you think you have said boy. You also might want to rethink the "connection" position now that you know you were wrong about the eyes.

Ladies we know that we do not pursue boys that our friends have dated. We do not pursue boys our friends have crushes on. We do not pursue boys who have beady eyes and knock knees. I'll grant that maybe you aren't friends with Anna, but if she peddled all the way from mid-town to Brooklyn so you could avoid waiting for the subway, maybe you could at least not ask her for dating advice regarding her ex-boyfriend.
