^ So let me get this straight: A woman came up to you bitchin how she wants to get laid -- but yet not by you....*gulp* I'm sorry my friend but there ya have it and yes I would take that personally LOL
Where do you get the idea that I was talking about a woman?
I was talking about the things I experienced when meeting Star Trek fans. When someone wants to have a drink, and asks me to come, I tend to say "why the hell not", since I'm always in for a good conversation. I don't mind what it's about, so I don't mind if they're Star Trek fans perse. But I expect them to act like sociable people, and I never meet 'n greet as a "date". If I want to talk to some random attractive girl, I simply go out in the weekend. A meet 'n greet, to me, is without expectations or any strings attached. It's a simple "have a drink, have a talk" kind of deal. Like posting on forums like these.
The ones who were "unwilling virgins", as they so aptly demonstrated, were both guys. Within 20 minutes, when he was done talking about the latest Trek episode, he began about his sex life (wth?) and how bad it was going for him. As if I was interested about such personal matters while I hardly knew him! It's not as if he sounded like an interesting fellow to debate with. And this happened on two different occasions, the latter with 2 guys at the same time. On the latter, there was also a female Star Trek fan, who evidently, thought it was quite normal to spill your sex life to complete and total strangers, since she quickly joined in about why she always needed lubrication.
I mean, seriously, if the conversation gets personal that's fine, but don't force it (and especially not within the first 20 minutes). That's just creepy. Is that really so strange? I'm not prude at all, but I do like to loosen up first and test the waters how much polarizing remarks I can safely make. And I'm more inclined to talk about such things in a bar, at night, while you're having fun instead of a terrace, when the sun is shining, where I'm more inclined to talk about light but sometimes serious topics, like religion or politics.
On another occasion, it started off quite friendly, just your normal "let's have a drink and discuss interests since we both chat now and then and have nothing better to do at the moment". Until the topic changed to Star Trek and I mentioned something about some episode -- I can't remember what, exactly -- and he started bitching about a whole load of completely irrelevant details, with frequent mentions of "canon". It was quite a monologue, actually, not a discussion. And he actually got somewhat angry because I didn't agree with him nor understood why these details were so important. Not only that, but he didn't seem to have knowledge about
any subject other then Star Trek; he bluffed his way through most topics. I excused myself, left and went to the bar next door to meet some normal people and had a fine time, met a few nice girls, you know, the usual.
I quickly learned not to meet 'n greet with Star Trek fans before I have proof they won't pull weird stunts like that.
