Lessons On A Train

It’s kind of like Snakes On A Plane, only not at all.

Let me just say this right now, I’m actually excited about the movie Snakes On A Plane, but only because I love the title. I’ve been running around telling people about the snakes on the planes for a while now. I like simple things.

I also like good things.

You know, I seriously can’t date a woman who uses sentences like that to answer questions like “what are your interests in life?”

Anyway…

When it comes to dating, there are certain principles that hold true; certain occurences that must occur for there to be actual occurences that occur for the balance of world power to make sense.

For instance, this is a usual order of operations. Man approaches woman. Woman sizes up man. Woman either rejects man (hopefully in a decent enough way) and man picks up face and saunters back to his boys who will joke him about it for the next 10-15 minutes. Or woman accepts man’s opening statement and agree’s to go into trial for a little discovery, litigation, and sentencing.

It usually happens like that in some way shape or form. And you know, when man gets rejected by woman I usually understand why a woman might be upset if a man makes some unnecessarily disparaging remarks because she turned him down. Hell, it’s usually his fault. I’m of the belief that the less a man says, the better he usually does.

Ladies?

YEAH!

I said Ladies!!?!?!

YEAH!!!!!

How many men have you dealt with that have blown a good date or some possible nude Twister because he just talked to much and said something stupid?

*all the ladies screaming*

See?

I’m often perturbed even when men go the asshole route because a woman just isn’t feeling him.

However…sometimes, just sometimes, I believe it’s warranted.

Follow me.

The following situation is real. The names have been changed to protect the innocent.

One day not so long ago, this fellow named Pablo was riding the A train in Brooklyn. He caught the train at his normal time and sat down in a seat to begin his daily trek into the Big Apple. Upon sitting down, he noticed a woman that he’d seen on numerous trips on the same train at the same time. He always noticed her because she was attractive and there was something about her that caught his eye. She was special. And she noticed him too. He’d caught her looking before.

Well, today he decided that he’d finally get up the nerve to speak to her seeing as they see eachother every day. The least he could do was get her name and perhaps have a new travelling buddy. Even if nothing were to come of it, he at least met somebody new that when they saw eachother they could speak to for the train ride into Manhattan.

He walks up.

Pablo: Excuse me, how are you doing? I see you on the train every so often and was just wondering what your name was?

Her: (in a disgusted and assholish tone as if to say “Excuse you fuckboy but why are you wasting my time?”) Umm…why????

Pablo: (at a loss for words) Uh…okay.

Pablo then walked away never to be heard from again.

Now, this heffa didn’t even need to do that. If there is one thing that is completely unnecessary in the pre-courting process, it’s total assholishness. Unless the woman is approached in a jackass manner, there is no need to be a jackass.

Panama’s Theorem of Relative Curse-ability: If you are to reject somebody, the way you are approached should be the way you reject. Anything less is uncivilized. If somebody rejects you in an assholish way after you’ve approached them in a respectful manner, you are well within your rights to say fucked up things to them.

It was written.

I’m sorry, but I almost wish a ninja WOULD try to play me like that on a train when I approach her on some humble stuff. I mean, the dude even said excuse me and opened up with safe lines as to not step on her toes or be overly aggressive or anything.

Oh yes, that mumbo jumbo about, “well Panama, you sexxy mofo you, you have no idea what could have happened her that morning, etc, yada yada yada…”

Yeah, save that shit for the falcons. Her life situation should have very little impact on the way she rejected him. There is a proper way to let a man down so that no unnecessary lives are lost. Think about this…a lot of us reading this are black…

…we KNOW that we’re crazy. Especially some black dudes. And for the white people…yeah, it’s true, a lot of us are nuts.

But we don’t drive around picking people off on some serial killer shit like other whi…oh wait…

Well, we don’t cut up people and place them in the refridgerator to eat later.

Yeah!

You see, my friend Pablo up there would have been well within his rights to ream her ass for that shit on the train.

SNAKES ON A PLANE!

There was no reason for her to be disrespectul. Hell, it was his first time ever speaking to her (and the last…can’t forget that part). And truthfully, I just don’t even really understand what would compel a woman to be jackass like that when a man approaches respectfully.

Okay, let’s think about that for a second. Women, do have to deal with a lot of crap from men on a daily basis. Especially the more attractive you are. I’m sorry, but ugly women just don’t have the same set of problems as pretty women.

But we’re all beautiful on the inside.

*ding*

In dealing with all of that, I can understand how a woman’s first reaction can be to get defensive and ready for the asshole to come out and say something like, “Hey ma, I been watching your ass jiggle for the past two months on the train now. I can’t wait til the train slows down so I can watch your breasticles sway with the brakes…so how about me and you just cut the bull and the sexual tension and just get better acquainted over a bottle of $4.99 champagne and some strawberries on my faux-real bear skin rug at my place??”

Okay, see, I can understand how that might get a little annoying. But is it fair to hold Pablo and every man that Pablo stands for in contempt because of the actions of a few?

“Naw…bitch I said naw…” ~ Day-Day, Friday After Next

In order for us to keep this thing moving, we need order.

We need ordeeeeeeeeeer.

I’m looking for insight into this matter, but I’ll tell you now, there is nothing good enough that can justify a woman being an asshole to a man for no good reason, unless he has slept with her before and he has forgotten in which case she would have been completely justified.

But to his knowledge, he had never slept with her.

Women, let this be a cautionary tale. Me? I might have had to return the asshole tenfold.

Amazing these lessons you can learn on the train.

And for kicks…

SNAKES ON A PLANE!

And for additional kicks, a new friend of mine who chastised me for not posting in quite a few days sent me this picture yesterday. You might live in the ghetto if you see this:

    I agree with you, she was way too harsh. If a guy approached me like that I would have been taken back a little or surprised (since I’m usually pretty out of it in the mornings until I have my coffee) but I would have smiled, said hello and gave him my name. Train buddies are fine!

    Oh and I have a feeling the majority of the people going to see ‘Snakes on a Plane’ are going because of the title too. Pretty funny.

    Truer words have never been spoken. I have to reference you on my site and maybe even in an away message. Honestly, people think that they are justified in being an asshole because having a bad day, have had many bad experiences being approached or because they are very attractive. Its time to let these f*ckers know.

    Well, this is a common thing. Maybe she just thought he approach was corny and that’s how to reject ngaz.

    Of course she has no right to do that but pretty women often have to be b*tches in order to defend themselves from men.

    It’s part of the f*cked up cycle of stupidity that some call the battle of the sexes.

    Pretty woman is a b*tch to nice guy eventually the nice guy turns into a dyck and is a dyck to a nice woman, thereby turning nice woman into a b*tch.

    It is the circle of life.

    The ONLY reason I would see SOP is to hear Samuel Jackson yell about the MFin’ snakes on the MFin’ plane.

    I agree with Strangejazz. Circle of life. But really she didn’t have to break b*tch on him.

    @Sweet: And see, that makes you a good person. No hell points for you! And the title is totally the reason I want to see it. Also like The Hostess said I want to hear SamJack yell about snakes on the MFN plane!! Oh and I love your site…all kinds of interesting stuff over there…

    @JH: Thanks bruh! It’s up to us to spread the knowledge about triflin’ chicks.

    @The Diggy Doc: See, I don’t buy that circle of life shit because it almost assumes that its okay. Like, that’s just the way it is so, oh well. She didn’t HAVE to be that way no matter what. He didn’t come at her sideways she didnt need to come at him sideways. I will believe that until Hell freezes over…or at least until we have a Black President, whichever comes first.

    @The Hostess: That’s all I’m saying, she didn’t HAVE to go that route, she chose to for no good gotdamn reason. Off with her head!

    True she didn’t have to.

    Let me put this on the table, maybe she got off on doing that to him.

    There are a lot of sick b*tches out there and maybe she likes dissin foos that try to kick it to her.

    Personally if it had been me, I would have said the following:

    “Next time you are sitting around with your girlfriends b*tching about how men ain’t sjit. I want you to think back to the time you pulled this sjit and think to yourself, that you dissed a random nice guy who approached you with sincerity and humility. It ain’t your fault you probably ain’t used to being treated like a human being.”

    Did Pablo have any teeth missing? Was he old and/or cockeyed? When I’m approached by those types I react the same way she did. “What makes your old toothless ass think that I want to talk to you?” is what goes through my mind. If none of the above applies then yeah, she took it too far.
