URBAN THOUGHT COLLECTIVE.COM: Flipping The Script
Hello from Everyone at Urban Thought Collective.com!
*Alright ladies, it seems the fellas have a few first date pet peeves about us they'd like to get off their very hairy chests and because some of you take these blogs waaaay too seriously, let me just state, since I don't date women, this is all hearsay.
I questioned a bunch of dudes and this is what they came up with. I am merely reporting their reality.
Pet Peeve #1
On a first date, it is not cool to order the most expensive thing on the menu unless:
A) He tells you to.
B) He was stupid enough to answer yes when you were stupid enough to ask him if you looked fat in your jeans.
C) You plan on giving him some later. What exactly qualifies for "some' is open for debate, but all men polled agreed a goodnight kiss didn't qualify unless it's the kind of "kiss" that requires him to unzip his pants.
My personal rule of thumb is never order something I wouldn't order if I were paying the bill. Translation; I like toro. Toro ain't cheap. When I go out with my girls, I order often toro, therefore if a man takes me out for sushi (my favorite for those of you keeping tabs on my likes and dislikes) I would have no qualms ordering toro unless it was in fact the most expensive thing on the menu and then the ABC rules would again come into play.
Now fellas, my one word of caution to you is don't take a chick to a steak house and get mad if, in fact, she orders a big juicy steak. Same rule applies for a seafood joint. There's a real chance you wet a girl's appetite for some seafood, she just might, surprise, surprise, order lobster. Cover your ass a little bit. Do some research. Find a nice restaurant that you can afford and she'll be impressed by. Personally, unless we're in the middle of Podunk, nowhere, and no other options are available, please refrain from the Houston's and the Cheesecake Factories of the world. You know, places where you take your mother.
But enough about what you do wrong, back to what we do wrong.
Pet Peeve #2
Apparently ladies, some of us have a tendency to not only bring our past…
