Scene: Packed sports bar with Phillies v. Red Sox game on the screen.

Women cheer when Phillies score a run. Men approach.

“So are you two Phillies fans?”

“Is that a serious question? Are we not IN Philadelphia?”

“Good point. Well, we’re in from Boston for a wedding. Red Sox fans.”

“And you’re TELLING people this? Have you not seen the news? Do you not know what we’re capable of? Our fans are so rowdy we throw balls back into the park if the opposing team hits a home run.”

“Well a lot of teams do that”

“Yes, but we actually AIM for the players. Just last week a fan got so overexcited that he had to be TAZERED on the field. It was on CNN. We do not kid around in Philadelphia. You need to go home or keep quiet. I’m warning you. You are not safe here.”

“Wow”

“Yeah, well there is one thing you have going for you. And if you get into a scuffle, you’ll need to mention it.”

“What’s that?’

“You’re not a Yankees fan.”

Ahh yes. Have you ever been in a bar and had really random (but awesome!) conversations with strangers? We are here to tell you that we understand. And also, it’s been happening to us a lot recently! So, we figured that now, NOW is the time to share the joy that is meeting a random (drunk?) man at a bar, and entering into a conversation with him. It may be weird, wild, and odd. Enter at your own risk:

Us: What is the first thing you notice about a women?

Him: Shoes.

Us: Shoes? What? Wait. What?

Him: No really! You can tell a lot about a person by their shoes…if if they take care of themselves for example.

Us: Hmmm…never thought about it like that (inner monologue: thank god we are wearing our stuart weitzman boots! whew!). So ok, what’s the one thing a girl should do when approaching a man?

Him: Approach him. Seriously. Just approach him.

Us: Fair enough! So…what is the one thing a woman should do in a relationship?

Him: Maybe be a bit of more cognizant of the pressure men are under. Guys get hinged up on work and expectations. Men are under a lot of pressure. There are a lot of expectations!

Us: Ok (inner monologue: hinged? what?) So…ummm. What piece of advice do you have for women?

Him: Relationships are supposed to be fun! Women can fixate on the small stuff. In the grand scheme of things, focus on what matters as what is important.

Us: So, compare a woman to a drink. What would she be?

Him: Women are cosmopolitans! Classy, intelligent, fun. Cosmos are drinks of good personality, not a cheap rail drink. Defininitely not a whiskey sour in a plastic cup!

Us: (giggling). Ok, that’s my friend over there. Take care! (wanders off)
