1. Um, be female?

It's not hard. :D Of course, I don't drink alcohol anymore, so I'm a pretty cheap date anyway.

[texas1928]

2. Yeah well some of are at a disadvantage there.

:P

[MsKandice01]

4. I've never ever ever had a man offer to buy me a drink...

Ever. I must surround myself with a bunch of cheap bastards.

[Phillycat]

5. WHAT?

And you are gorgeous! I find that impossible to understand!

:wtf:

[MsKandice01]

6. Sad, but true...

I must be going to the wrong places. Of course, being 6'1" probably has something to do with it.

Thanks for the compliment though!

[Phillycat]

7. Hmm, maybe.

Perhaps they are intimidated. Still, I find it very strange that some confident tall man hasn't approached you in a bar and offered a drink!

[MsKandice01]

8. No, the only men who approach me in bars are short men with tall fetishes...

Tall men won't give me the time of day. They prefer short women.

Edited...lol...I meant to say short women, instead of short men, even though that's possible too...but I'm a woman so I was talking about women. Good lord.

[Phillycat]

11. If they prefer men, that might be your trouble right there. :)

I know that was a typo, it just cracked me up!

13. i agree -- you're gorgeous.

but my one of my very dear friends from high school -- she's 6'1'' -- and for the life of her can't get a date with a regular guy.

meaning someone height appropriate.

and she doesn't LIKE guys who much shorter than her.

plus she wasn't raised to be silly about her height -- so really stands up tall -- very confident and all that.

and she's gorgeous too.

i don't get it. at all.

[Bum Whisperer]

15. That's strange,

when I was on the town regularly, I could never find a taller woman than me and that was my preference even though I'm 6'1". :shrug:

[ForrestGump]

10. I would

Oh, wait a minute. You said "confident." :-(

I am confident, in myself, but not in that sense...my lingering cluelessness would undoubtedly cause me to utterly fail to offer a drink, anyway.

But, deep inside, where my inner Cary Grant resides, I'd want to. :D

[Midlodemocrat]

14. Seriously? You are so beautiful, I can't believe that.

I have guys asking me here at our pool if they can buy me a drink. Never mind that I'm there with the family, right fellow? :eyes:

And, trust me, I don't look anything like you. You are stunning.

[MsKandice01]

16. I'm quite serious...

But thank you! Trust me, I'm by no means a cheap date when it comes to drinking and I'd love for someone to help pick up the tab every once in a while. A night at a club/bar sets me back about $40.00 in drinks. I can be a bit of a lush because of my high alcohol tolerance. LOL.

9. Being 'Elvis' helps

:D

I get offered free drinks all the time.

But I don't drink. :P

And I can't even usually accept water 'cos the bartenders who know me already pile on free bottles of water when I arrive, to the point that when I was sick for a month I survived quite nicely on about a hundred excess bottles of water that I'd accumulated during those overhydrated nights on the Vegas Strip. :-)

I am the cheapest date there is. Because I don't even go on dates. :P

[MsKandice01]

12. Where do you work? Any particular hotel?

My first marriage was at the Viva Las Vegas wedding chapel and I could have had the option of an Elvis wedding.

3. These are terrible

and people actually try this in bars?

17. Best way to get a drink from a Vogon:

Here's what to do if you want to get a lift from a Vogon: Forget it!! They are one of the most unpleasant races in the galaxy. Not actually evil, but bad tempered, bureaucratic, officious and callous. They wouldn't even lift a finger to save their own grandmothers from the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal without orders signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public enquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters. The best way to get a drink out of a Vogon is stick your finger down his throat, and the best way to irritate him is to feed his grandmother to the ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal. On no account should you allow a Vogon to read poetry to you.
