“Beautiful, geeky girls, they want to talk to that geeky guy,” he said. “But, the guys, they just don’t know how to deal with that."...“How about a live Twitter-like feed on a screen—you’re sitting next to her, and you’re both looking at the screen; it’s easy to use your geekness.”
Essentially, 'geeky' synonymous with 'coward' here. Maybe, in my stubbornness, I am too resistant to this inevitable change in the way the human race interacts, but the idea of twittering a drink ticket to a girl is just fucking lame and will only perpetuate the extinction of
real men in this world. Being a creature of extreme awkwardness, I empathize with the amount of pressure a guy must feel when he takes a risk and allows himself to be vulnerable in the face of possible rejection by a cute girl. However, rejection is, while painful, an essential part of life which teaches us strength. How would we ever grow without the occasional kick in the nuts. You think Don Draper would text message a girl 'Hey you, in the pink skirt—meet me at the bar in the Marlin room and I’ll buy you a martini.'
Hell No!
He'd slide up next to her martini in hand, place it before her and extend his hand to introduce himself. But seriously, look...we don't expect Don Draper - it's a tall dark and handsome order - just be yourself and don't hide behind the Blackberry, it makes your penis look small.
