Flaming Twat Wads
Posted By AmyD. on December 29, 2007
Oooo, there, I finally posted a nasty title.
And, I MEAN it too.
What has gotten into girls lately? Are moms not doing their jobs? Dads? Someone? Helloooooo?
My brother asked a girl to the winter formal – as a FRIEND. Not as a ROMANTIC DATE. A FRIEND. She’s a senior and has never gone to the formal the ENTIRE TIME SHE HAS BEEN IN HIGH SCHOOL.
And, my brother went and asked her out – simply because he didn’t want her senior year let alone her entire high school career to go by without her having the opportunity to attend the formal.
Seriously… LOOK at this guy:
He’s GORGEOUS… is he not?
Want to know what happened? One MONTH later… just two WEEKS before the formal (ok 2 1/2 weeks, but who is counting, right?) – she calls him up to break the date so she can go with HER FRIENDS.
Because… as all of us “grown ups” know, nothing says “I am woman, hear me roar with my other GIRL friends and uh, no MALE date” like showing up with all of your friends and standing up against the wall during all the slow dances like a scene cut from “Pretty in Pink”.
Yes, I’m nasty. But, SERIOUSLY… my brother could have gone with a very nice, very pretty, very good friend. Instead he chose to do something NICE for someone else… WTF is WRONG with this world?
Ok, I know there are some girls out here who occasionally read my blog… if you are reading this now… what are your thoughts on it? Hmmm? Seriously? Is this the way things are done now? Am I just embarrassingly out of the loop?
Yeah, it’s my brother… I’m a bit defensive. But, that doesn’t excuse bad manners any day.
About The Author
Maybe it’s because my school didn’t really do the whole ‘bring dates to formal’ thing, but I don’t think this is a bad thing.
Having a good time with friends may seem better than a pity date, BUT she shouldn’t have left it so late to tell him.
I do think it was an awesome thing for him to do.
He IS pretty. I almost want to date him.
Also, best post title ever.
I see this all the time. Girl accepts guy’s offer to go to Prom; girl gets better offer; girl dumps guy to go with “better” guy. However, not to be sexist… I’ve seen guys do the same thing to girls. It pisses me off every single time.
And I agree with you, it’s rude and shows a complete lack of proper home training.
Yes, it sucks. And yes, it’s rude as hell.
So, hopefully, your brother (who is gorgeous) can go with his buddies and just relax and have fun.
He gets points for trying to do the right thing.
Gaaah poor guy.
:/ it’s weird because Brianna seems like such a nice person too.
well [sigh] i hope this doesn’t become a third wheel thing. i don’t want him to feel awkward
Love the post title and yes, he’s gorgeous. She’s got serious issues for acting like that. ick.
That’s just rude.
Hey, this reminds me of something that happened when I was in high school. I’ll have to blog about it.
What a flaming twat wad!
Tis a rude thing that has been done to him for sure.
He did the right thing I think. It’s too bad it has worked out this way.
Beamer
Not to worry, he would never become a third wheel..too much pride and wouldn’t want to make anyone else feel awkward.
He has learned a valuable lesson and will approach the female gender more cautiously in the future. Life lessons, yes I think he is just too nice. I must also add that “she” had no idea it was a “pity” date. She actually thought he was “interested” in her and used that as one of her excuses. He then made it clear that he thought it would be fun to go with the two other couples and have a good time together…so..such is life in High School. How did we all survive?
After a couple of days of thinking it through and feeling humiliated..he is on the mend.
BTW, the more recent pictures of this guy are seen on Amy’s flicker above ..check out the Mustang photo…ok I’m a bit prejudice where all my kids are concerned, but he’s not bad on the eyes…just to darn nice that’s all.
Thanks for supporting your brother kiddo..love you!
That was very immature of her.
Everyone – (aka, lazy way of avoiding responding to everyone… sad, I know, I won’t make a habit of it, PROMISE!)
Thanks so much. And, I should have made this clear because I sound like a snobby bitch who expects gratitude from the poor wallflower. This is NOT the case… I was just really upset for my brother.
The fact is, the girl in question claims to not be able to go with him because one of his friends is an ex-boyfriend of one of her friends. And this little, unrelated relationship drama happened last year – so why it should factor in now is beyond me.
It took her over a month to decide that she didn’t want to go with him. This is just poor upbringing and bad manners, obviously. And, quite frankly, the same goes for her little twit friend (the one with the ex-boyfriend).
Aaaawwwww – what a sweetie your brother is! From my current experience teaching middle school students and past personal experience, girls are mean…… I hate to generalize, but the truth is in there. All I can say is, I’m trying to train my own daughter to NOT be mean.
