Are we bad people?
I work with a guy who has some pretty outlandish and blatantly mysogenistic views on a lot of subjects. But sometimes he has these moments of absolute brilliance... like today. [I'm paraphrasing, mostly, but this conversation happened like 2 hours ago... so it's pretty close]
Steve: I don't understand why she doesn't like me...
Me: You can't be serious. You just relayed verbatim how you made fun of the fact she lives in Barrie. [this girl said she was going out to a club in Barrie for her birthday, to which he replied "they have clubs in Barrie? do they, like, play the same music as the ones in Toronto?" thereby ensuring one more non-Torontonian hates us all for the rest of their life]
Steve: Yeah, but she's ugly. Like, she has an alright body, but the face... man! What a waste...
Me: Classic butter face?
Steve: Exactly.
Me: So what is it you don't understand?
Steve: Well, she's ugly, right? So shouldn't ugly chicks be all over normal-looking guys? Shouldn't they go after me like I'd go after a hot girl?
Me: Uh, I guess...?
Steve: No, seriously... why don't ugly girls fall all over decent-looking guys? It doesn't make sense....
Me: Maybe they have their guard up more? They think you're being nice or hitting on them as part of a dare, or something?
Steve: I dunno. Like, hot girls are so much more accepting when a guy is nice to them. It's weird.
Me: Maybe they're just used to guys fawning all over them, and they use it to their advantage?
Steve: Oh, totally. Like I always want to have the hot girls in my group in school, and stuff. People tell me, "You know they're just using you," and I'm like, "Of course, I know that! I'm happy to do some extra work to be able to hang out with them more, and like, touch their leg and stuff...
Me: Or look down their shirt.
Steve: Exactly! I think I'm using them on some level, too.
Anyway, with regards to the title, I think all signs point to "Yes".
And I'm cool with that.
