No Job? No Date for You!

[4th law of robotics]

54. A while ago my wife and I

and some friends went to this bar that turned out to be a hot spot for cougars. We had not idea. But it became obvious after a short while. It was a remarkable people-watching experience.

There were groups of young men (maybe 20-24, this was a college town) that had clearly put a lot of work in to their appearance. Nice clothes, jewelry, expensive hair cuts, etc. They would hang out at the bar together while these older women (also dressed up) waited around at the periphery.

Occasionally one would approach one of the males and offer to buy him a drink. Sometimes this worked and they started chatting, eventually heading off together. Sometimes she got shot down and would try again with a different male. In every case it was the men who dressed up pretty and waited to be hit on while the women had to do all the work.

It was an exact 180 of the normal situation. It was . . . very entertaining.

/I'm curious if the usual offer of "some eggs" is appropriate in the morning and if the males are supposed to sneak out before anyone wakes up to avoid the walk of shame. I'm not sure how far the parallels extended.
