Hunting Season

Spring is here. The weather is just great. Flowers are blooming. Trees are becoming green again. Everything feels more alive. I also noticed that most of my friends over here has been bitten by the lovebug. Everyone's looking for that spring romance.

I went out last Friday, and had a blast observing the bar scene. The single girls scanned the place for good looking guys or potential "prospects" and the single ( or pretending to be single) men did the same thing. The married ones with their other half in tow pretended this was not happening. The not so attractive girls, decided to buy drinks for other guys ( hoping to get them drunk?) and the not so good looking guys decided to be wallpapers and admired their prospects from a distance.

The cultural differences didn't matter, nationality was not a question. The bar scene just looked like a hunting ground. I didn't go with my husband because he had to work but I had a great defense. I just raised my hand and did the show-your-wedding-ring trick and the guys knew.

From one country to another, some things don't change.

JoobJoo said...: The bar scene here in LA is OK but quite boring. Men will be boys and the women will scratch each other's eyes just to get that hot guy of the night. I enjoy going to gay and lesbian bars though. You could dress any way you want. You could dance like freaks and they will cheer you on. The dancers on stage will drag you on stage. Finally people are so friendly and they buy you free drinks without asking for something in exchange. You dont have to pretend to be a model, have a high paying job, or even be sexy which is quite cool to be just you in a bar.; 4/12/2006 06:17:00 PM

I think it's about the Spring and the weather back there.
