“2 seconds means not interested, 3 seconds means sex NOW.”
WHAAAAAT???
Speaking of eye contact, I watched “He’s just not that into you” yesterday. Stupid cute. These two gay guys were trying to instruct this straight guy on eye contact signals – 2 seconds means not interested, 3 seconds means sex NOW.
Hola Cargar! I’m alive and kicking. I saw your update from last night…ha! Ricotta cheese has moved to the top of the list. At this point, you’d sooner get me to eat chocolate.
I have to wonder if the non-contact (verbal I mean) in NYC currently is the product of what some call simply the NYC way of life/NYC attitude or just the way folks are these days.
Snappy, how are you feeling? Did you see I updated your file in the OT Late Edition? <<<< Did you tell Dave that we scoped out the ENTIRE wait staff at Bogota for him last nite and they’re all his?? BTW, I finally got the emails you and Kens sent at 3am! Effing RIM!
Not really sure about that, Snappy. Usually it’s done through eye contact initially.
I’ve had that exact same experience, Dave. But do you think you’d have more interaction w/ strangers on the trains/buses if there were no Ipods, etc?
I think it is true. I said “Excuse me” to someone a while back when I was moving closer to the edge of the subway track and he turned and said something to me about saying Excuse Me.
I yelled..”You would have heard me say it if you didn’t have the headphones on so loud.”
Morning folks!
Ok…so I’m listening to an audiobook by James Patterson called “Beach Road.†At this point in the story, the guy narrating is looking for someone while parked in the Bed Stuy area of Brooklyn. He gives the following lament:
“If you ask me, nothin’s ruined the city more than headphones and Ipods and computers. It used to be NY offered the kind of random interaction you couldn’t get anywhere else. You never knew when you might have a moment with the beautiful girl waiting next to you for the light to change. Or maybe you’d say something to a guy, not a gay thing, just two people traveling through this world, acknowledging each others’ existence. Now everyone walks around obliviously listening to their own little music downloaded from their own little computers. It’s lonely, brother.â€
Do you think this is true?
