So You Wanna Ask The Bartender What?
…OUT? You’ve got to be OUT of your goddamn mind.
Every Tuesday, I write a post for the Seattle Weekly entitled, “Ask The Bartender.” Apparently, I struck a nerve with this post:
Ask The Bartender….Out? (Cringe)
from Voracious, the Seattle Weekly food blog
Those nerves apparently belong to some really over-sensitive men and the 5 female bartenders in the world who like Diane Lane movies and think Lloyd Dobler is the perfect guy.

I have been laughing about this all day. But isn’t dating in Seattle hard enough? I find it really hard to believe that the soft males in this town have anywhere near the nads to ask out the lady bartender.

Great advice, Maggie, thanks! But I’m just POSITIVE that the barmaid at the corner bar wants my bod!

I love egging guys on about hitting on the bartender. I’ve never heard more vicious cut downs in my life. I still remember what you said to me 6 years ago after I tipped you $20 and asked for your phone number. Still stings but you were right of course.

I am an aggressive, arrogant male, and even I know to leave these beautiful creatures alone. I know the greater predator when I see it.

He just wants her beause of the power she has over him. She is the rationer of his Alchohol! And he’s only around her when he’s been drinking, of course he finds her attractive, I’m sure she has the smarts to realize that. Does he? He is and always will be, just another customer. But, he might try leaving huge tips, ..you never know.
