JustDoItAlways,
I was counting on you to hey-watch-it just a girl!
I appreciate the tip. Sometimes you run into a woman who is having a rotten day and doesn't want your attention. Sometimes you run into a c@ckblocker who you would like to push aside.
A surefire way of making them either shutup or disappear would come in awfully handy. The last thing you need when going over to talk to a girl is to have her friend get up in your face and be like, "Hey dork, don't look at my friend. She has a boyfriend and I don't like your haircut. I think your breath stinks. Your smile is fake. I wouldn't sleep with you if someone offered me five million dollars. I think that you suuuuuck, and that your mother is a... btch, btch, btch..." It happens, even when you least expect it.
Nonetheless, you have some women (cough, cough.. just a girl, cough) who do not like being "bullied" or "spoken down to" and go into hyperb1tch mode when they sense any form of resentment or disrespect. "You don't scare ME! Tell ME to watch it? YOU watch it, D1CK! I'll get Pissed off if I WANT to get PISSED OFF! Do YOU have a problem with THAT... B1TCH???" If you hey-watch-it one of these, a nasty and potentially embarassing scene ensues, leaving you with two options:
1. Haul off and b1tchsmack her. Your friends will think of you as "The Man" for ever, and many of them will stop by over the next five years or so to visit you in prison... where
you will become the hyperb1tch.
or
2. Make light of it "Hey everybody, [big grin] I was only asking her if I knew her from somewhere!!!" and exit.
When I'm faced with disrespect and there are people around, I become respectful and direct. I look em straight in the eyes and t a l k s l o w l y... "I think you are going a little too far. Have a good night." And I move on. You don't look like a whimp, they are happy because you are leaving, and most importantly it doesn't escalate into world war III, leaving people with the impression that you are a d1ck.
If the woman is digging you though, and just got out of line, I can picture hey-watch-it working. (lol)
