"Oii babes! Come 'ere!"
"Can 'man' have your number?"
"I know you don't know me, but if you give me your number you can GET to know me"
Yup, it goes on and on and on. What happened to the days when boys were more respectful and trying to get a girl to like you consisted of more trying than saying, "You're sexy yah know."
Call me old fashioned, but seriously, what happened to wooing and seducing and how did abrupt approaches become 'The Thing' to do to get girls?
I'm going to take a wild guess and say that the aforementioned method worked for one boy and he went and told all of his friends about it and the rest was history. Manners went out the window, compliments went down the pan and niceness was made extinct.
However, the fact that boys are continually doing this is a greater cause for concern. Why? Well because it means that some girls are actually accepting to be spoken to in that way and giving 'man' their number. Now i'm not saying that girls shouldn't give boys who approach them like this their numbers (especially if they're good looking), but before you do, why don't you give it a second thought.
If you really think about it, first impressions count for a lot and the way you meet someone says a lot about you both. Does giving your number out to an abrupt stranger say something about you? And doesn't the way they approached you say anything about them? To me it screams, I don't know how to respect or compliment women, but they probably like it when I talk to them like that.
I dunno, maybe i'm just being up-tight and expecting too much from a certain percentage of the current young male population. In the words of footballers:
"At the end of the day I still have hope."
