LAME bus. vol 1.

8.03.2009


im starting a series called "the lame bus" its a bus im sending around to pick up guys or girls, who have decided to engage in constant lame activity. :o]


i think any decent looking woman will be able to relate to this post, as i am DYING to just vent about MEN who hound you, in the mall, the parking lot, the club, the laundry room, ANYWHERE..it gets so ridiculous and uncomfortable that my immediate defense mechanism is to flip my bitch switch. your fault. cause and reaction.


i think every woman is flattered to get a compliment from men OR women, depending on how genuine it is of course, and we would like to accept the compliment and move on with our day. but when that small admiration is followed up by numerous questions like "whats your name, age, do you have kids, where you from, can i get your number?" melody, it gets to be annoying and "extra".

opening conversation with a woman that you seek interest in isnt a bad thing at all, but it is all in your delivery and it is also up to you to appear to have some self esteem and tact! observe things like, her body behavior, her facial expression, etc. here are some things to help you guys leave some of us women alone.

  • if i am walking at a rather fast pase in the opposite direction of you, no interest is there.
  • no eye contact..no interest.
  • if i am answering open ended questions with "yes" or "no" period. no bueno.
  • my body language. am i backing up? you should be doing the same then.

after all, if a girls seems, looks, or is blatantly uninterested why in the world would you want to FORCE her to take your number?



HIM: "do you have a man?"

HER: "yes"

HIM: "well take my number anyway, we can be friends"



no we cant. we cant be anything for anyone who doesnt respect my relationship (even if i am lying about having a man, clearly its for a reason). and guys, how would you feel if your girlfriend was giving out her number to guys who just want to be her "friend". GEEEEZ, get a CLUE. this isnt chess, its basic "connect the dots" shit.



bottom line, gentlemen, its absolutely A-OK to "holla" or "get-at" or whatever with a young lady. its ok to spark conversation and show interest, but please observe obvious signs that the woman is not interested. there is NOTHING worse than a man who is a fucking pest, and following you around the parking lot. you look desperate and lame.





if your going to get off the LAME BUS and try and put on cool clothes, so you can fool us ladies, at the very least, ACT cool as well. dang.

PREACH!!! Let the church say amen. I dont know how it could be explained any simpler than that. Unless passengers on the lame bus need a transfer to the slow bus as well.

MissAnnaBanna August 3, 2009 7:31 PM

this is the shit they should teach in schools from early. love this.

Athena Christine. August 4, 2009 6:25 AM  

I approve this message 100%! I know a few men and women who need to be on the lame bus. And sometimes men..just don't understand when a woman doesn't want to be bothered. smh.

Prissy Hood Chick August 4, 2009 9:20 AM  

Ha! It's like niggas have no clue when it come to shit like this. I mean if ppl around you can see that you're not interested then why da hell can't da crazy nigga stalking you for ya number? I'va always wondered that. LOSERS.

Enigma Jones August 4, 2009 10:21 AM  

This was right on point!!! The funny thing is, after they hound you and still get DENIED, they hit you with the "F you b*tch, you ain't all that anyway." Or some other bs. Really? Then why did you just walk 10 block out your way to get my number??? Clowns! lol

The Missus August 4, 2009 12:29 PM  

This should be sent to all the men in the world. My favorite line men use when you say you have a man is " but are you in love?". It is hilarious. What kind of question is that. If I said i have a man that should be the end of the convo. If I liked you maybe I would not have said I have a man. Or I would have said yes and still stood there talking to you instead of walking away. DUH

musikjunkie August 4, 2009 2:23 PM  

Ugh! I ALWAYS say this! Also, why can't men respect you simply don't want to be bothered? Why automatically when i dont give you the feedback you want you wanna say "you werent that cute anyways?" My reply? "Well sir, i suggest you stop lowering your standards because you see I didnt stop to lower mine!"
fuckin.lames.

Cc.Denise August 4, 2009 7:44 PM  

Amen!!!

**5 Star Chick** August 4, 2009 8:30 PM  

OKKKAAAAYYY!!!! 5 *****'s for this 1 Brook. Im like if my nose is reaching for the sky then come on dude I show no interest OnLY disgust. Use your common knowledge and judgement. It's not that hard Fellas.

AGILES August 4, 2009 9:29 PM  

What's really sad is when it's older men like 40 and 50 yr olds that badger young women or women in general with that mess! Clearly you should know better. Just yesterday this old ass man followed my out of a store and preceded to have a full out convo with me about NOTHING!!! He goes "I wish you were a little older so I could take you out to lunch"... and then turns around and asks me to go to lunch and to come by his job to see what he does!!! Go somewhere wit yo' ol ass! Ugh lol.

BleuSavoy August 5, 2009 5:38 AM  

YES!!!!!

Very well stated!

HellaCuteScorpio August 5, 2009 2:06 PM  

Yes.. Yes... I must concur Brook.. These niggas to get the point.. Hounding me to give me ur number is not what's up..

fendibag August 5, 2009 2:34 PM  

Truth! That shit is annoying. I was also told by a law enforcement friend of mine this a form of sexual harassment as it should be.....

A eaglebird's terd August 5, 2009 7:20 PM  

@fendibag,get outta here sexual harrassment tho'for what trying to get a phone #,I can see if a dude get out of pocket and start grabbing,fondling or something like that...so whats next,a man cant look in a female's direction unless told to or other wise he get charged for reckless eyeballing?,c'mon them laws be playing too much,They be the main ones be trying to holla at something while on the clock,you know on your "tax money"time.

Teems August 6, 2009 12:39 AM  

TELL EM'- ...and the touching and blocking with a vehicle if you are walking across the street is DESPERATE (definitely has happened to me).

If you smile they keep going if you don't.... They wanna call you all sorts of names and "put you in your place" whatev.

☆αmbєr☆ August 9, 2009 4:47 AM

girl {continues to walk}
guy: fuck u then bitch u aint cute no ways.

womp womp wommmp
lameness has taken over in 2009.

OMGits stacie August 24, 2009 12:53 PM  

i think it's worse when they guy is infront of his friends. he'll keep pestering you so he won't look like he got shot down infront of an audience. they made that movie "he's just not that into you" but there are some dudes that need to learn to take a hint..but im too scared to be rude bitches get cussed out for actin' "bougie" or "grand" in miami.
