    Right?! I’m not about winning big in Vegas. I’m about buying myself some brunch and champagne and breaking relatively even lol.

    Not as exciting but Matt and I wanted to do different exhibit tours and it turned out to be 35 bucks a ticket for each but 45 for a ticket to both but they let us split them so bam. Two tours for way less.

    Why do guys hit on waitresses? It never works right? I've flirted with them and bought em a shot, but that's about as far as it goes. Every time I ever saw a friend try it, they got shot down.

    Every guy in the world has had the thought in their head that, "hey, I think maybe she likes me." However a sane person will quickly realize, "oh nevermind, she's just being friendly because it's her friggin' job." Some guys just don't consider that and think that professional friendliness equates flirting or that they dig them

    If it works 1 time in every 1000 tries, those are pretty good odds for a low-effort activity with no direct negative consequences.
    What's more perplexing to me is why people turn possible or likely failure into an excuse to not try something.

    Its not about fear of failure, its about keeping a positive interaction positive. Fun & friendly.

    You're fucking up a good human to human interaction for a 1 in 1000 shot in a situation that makes no logistical sense? How many folks get off their 8 hour shift waiting tables for other human beings of all things and immediately want to shag? Pffffft.

    Flirting in itself is fun. In situations where it makes sense, shoot for the stars. But trying to pickup a waitress / bartender? Blegh.

    FWIW I told a hostess at a Mexican restaurant that she looked like Taylor Swift (she did, to me at least, with the skinny body, pale complexion, sweet face, bright red lipstick, etc.), and she acted like the comparison made her cringe at first.

    But I was fun and playful about it, teased her about it all night, and after I'd paid the check, she came back for one more pass and left a napkin with "Taylor", a winky face, and a lipstick kiss with a phone number on it.

    I could go and dig through my Facebook photos for the pic I took of it. It was so bizarre that I had to take a picture immediately lol.

    I find that being a polarizing person makes a lot of people genuinely like you. The rest of everyone can be readily ignored. Trying to go through life without offending anyone is a losing game.
