When is the last time someone asked you out?

When is the last time someone asked you out?

Actually asked you out with words that you heard with your own ears, not just read off of a screen?

Men, you can read this, too. In fact, I just want to congratulate you. I am not an extremely old woman,
but I am someone who can recall those awkward conversations with young men who were trying to find
a way to ask me on a date. An actual conversation to invite me to a dinner or movie, face to face, or
sometimes over the phone, but still, with voices involved. The men I dated did not have the luxury of
mainstream texting or social networking to find out if they would be rejected.

Women are now allowing men to turn them into drive thru fast food chains. A man can go through his
contact list on his phone like a menu, send out his order to be filled immediately, and find it warm and
neatly wrapped in his lap for a low price.

Again, you have to be impressed with the men. They have convinced us that so many things are sexy to
them, and we just fall for it. They used to have to imagine what kind of panties we were wearing; now,
we just let our thongs stick out of the top of our extremely low pants. They would have to romance
us to get an invitation into our homes, let alone see us naked; now, we send them pictures directly to
their phones or just post them on our own pages. These geniuses do not even have to buy us drinks
anymore. Just show up at any given ladies’ night where we’re already drinking free and just wait until
2 AM.

So the next time you want to cry to your girlfriends about the recent man you met not treating you like a
lady, ask yourself this, when’s the last time you acted like a lady?
