| What Would Do If Your Date Said To You, I'm Use To Dating Someone Better Looking Than You?
Posted: 9/6/2009 9:12:14 PM | I think my strongest reaction wouldn't be if it was at my expense; it would be if I was at a table listening to another man telling that to a woman obviously in hearing of other restaurant patrons without any ounce of tact...
I don't think I'd bother with a response if it was me; I"d smile and leave without bothering to deign to respond with a single solitary word (people have preferences and people can feel what they want but there is no excuse for manners like that from anyone to anyone, period). But if I was witness to someone publicly humiliating another woman (or, for that matter man) in public like that?
No way I'd not say a word on that one... wow... I'd tell her it was a sure bet from what all of us witnessed that she was used to dating men with a WHOLE lot more class and style than him, and would ask if I could call her a cab if she was ok to call her own.
I'm never ever rude, never vindictive, and extremely concoliatory; but bullying, public humiliation and overt derisiveness at someone's expense I have a tough time watching. I honestly don't think i could watch silently at someone else's expense. I ALWAYS stand up for the underdog.
oh well :) | |

Posted: 9/7/2009 5:36:25 AM | | I have had an experience when someone let loose with a spew of insulting comments about me, and got up and walked out. The man seated at the table next to me put the moronic man in his place - he was still seated looking at my steak dinner that he was going to have to pay for muttering what a **** I was. I had made the comment that he was an arrogant SOB, and gotten up to walk out when the man seated at the table next to us stood up and let loose with his opinion of Mr. no manners. | |

Posted: 9/7/2009 9:55:33 AM | Being a man, If she said someone "prettier" I would worry she had been dating "bi" guys and might have something I could catch.
However, if she said "more handsome" or "better looking", I'd say "maybe so, but seems they were shallow and dumped you" Or "Looks like you finally got your priorities straight and moved up in class and style to a REAL MAN of substance"
or
I guess it must be my 10 inch personality that has you out with me
or
How'd that work for you?
Or
I know how that feels. Looks like we are BOTH settling
I just know that my ability to have a comeback has never failed me.
Now, if I was out on a DATE, and it was someone who knew me well, our eyes would have met and nodded in agreement granting me permission to say:
Excuse me, seems your date has had a little too much to drink, killing his class. Would you like us to take you home so you dont have to sit another minute with such a cad?
I've actually done something like I just wrote above. We ended up giving the woman a lift. My date said it was the most chivalrous thing she had EVER seen and respected me even more. | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 1:17:05 AM | I'd probably be too busy wondering what on earth he was thinking of, saying something like that, to react much at all right away. Followed closely by wondering what might constitute a response both within the bounds of manners and that he deserved. I do not think there is a response that meets both those criteria.
But as for what brought it on, I wonder if travian didn't hit it, back in January:
Since the OP said later that the woman was fairly attractive and the guy was acting tense, I'm pretty sure what happened is the guy listened to too much advice from the stupid dating 'gurus." I'll admit, I looked at some of their websites for some tips. Most of the advice they give is crap, and this guy was trying to follow one of their tips (even though he did it poorly).
It does kinda sound like a terrible misinterpretation of The Mystery Method... which is supposed to be a good deal more subtle and playful than that.
Nice to see, reading on, that he got a drink in the face and a walk-out after all. I'm sure he earned it with the next remark, too! | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 9:34:27 PM | I'd politely respond with one of the following (whichever "popped" into my head first):
"Apparently so are the people you date!"
"I was just thinking the same thing! I guess that is the difference between us-I have a big heart and care about others feelings, and you have a big mouth!"
"How is a classy sweetheart like you still single?"
"You must date around a LOT!"
"This is a date? I thought you were from the escort agency! That explains the (mole, buck teeth, lumberjack hands etc.) you have..."
Then I would excuse myself and exit stage left! | |

Posted: 9/17/2009 12:16:46 AM | Depends who he was. If he was just a POF first date who meant very little to me I'd probably react strongly with my facial expressions and then laugh a little.
Then I'd place my hand on his and in a very loud voice say, "here's the thing. I used to be far better looking as a man but these hormones and this transitional phase are killing me. But, sweetheart, if you can stick it out for just a little while longer, I guarantee I'll make it worth your while."
If he made a move like he was about to bolt (or hopefully choke on his dinner) I'd continue with, "what's the matter, baby? You sure did like it last night on the web cam." | |

Posted: 9/21/2009 10:36:17 PM | I would hope to GOD that I didn't laugh....cause I would get way more pleasure out of playing stupid and saying "WOW" lets toast to that...and order the most expensive wine on the menu, along with some very expensive food and alot of it....and let him enjoy it by himself...right along with the bill.....now that's what I'm talking about.  | |

Posted: 9/22/2009 6:48:02 PM | I suppose it would depend on how it was said. If it was honest and sincere, I would probably laugh at throw a playful zing back at her like, "That's okay. I usually date women with lower standards. So you're not exactly my type either."
But if it was condescending and attacking, I'd probably laugh and say something like, "Good thing we're not dating. I gotta go," and then get up and leave and go do something else. | |
