I LOVE this thread!
True story... A month or so ago the man and I were at Dew Drop sitting at the bar. It was earlyish and there wasn't a ton of people there yet. So right beside us is an obvious barfly waiting for the bartender to acknowledge her. Probably in her early to mid 40s, rode hard and put away wet.... She may have accidently bumped into the man as she was standing there and apologized or something. When the bartender came over he took her order and the man asked for another beer for himself. When the drinks arrived he paid for both. It did not bother me in the least. This woman would have jumped all over him in a hot second hadn't I been there, I'm sure. He certainly had no sexual intention, nor wanted her attention or phone number since he turned right back to me. I'm sure he made that woman's night, maybe her whole month.
Likewise, there have been many occasions where guys have bought me drinks. If it's warm enough I'm scantly clad too and they probably do want something. If their foolish enough to think that buying me a drink is going to get me to go home with them than they're idiots. I'm a very social (someone call janey) creature by nature and it takes a secure man to deal with that period.
But I'll close by saying that we always go to the bar together too. And that's not a possesive thing; there's simply no one I'd rather be $hitcanned with. We have a blast together. :shrug:
