An unusual way to get a date

Granny said :

He says he’s not ageist or shapeist.

Ageism, shapeism, socialism, communism….. “Beware the isms and osms”

For the record, i would dance with you, if I could could dance. 🙂

How is what he’s done any different from putting an ad in the personals section of the Chronicle (if it still exists) or on a dating website?

You will have to dance with me, Skid!

: )

Gee I knew I left one option off the list for finding a hot girl.. lol

But if its not a prank his workmates are playing on him, he should probably learn the coy and willing vs eager and desperate lesson, and he’ll do better next time.

Okay, i’ll admit I had a period of uncertainty and a crisis of confidence a few years back, I did do ballroom dancing for a short while a few years back, while getting over a very cruel woman, and found the next love of my life, before that rebound relationship died the natural death it deserved.

The tango and waltz are worth learning for weddings and for courting, but the most important part is knowing that the best (straight) male dancers are only satisfying the pretty ladies emotionally whilst at the dance hall, and ONLY for as long as they keep dancing.
The minute they leave it, they have to compete with the rest of us on ordinary terms.

Well, I am going to ask Robbie about that when I see him on Wednesday and tell him what you said ….

*tee hee*

As for ballroom dancing, if you have a connection with your dance partner it is the best feeling. It doesn’t always happen with the best-looking or the person you are most attracted to either. You never know who it will happen with! But I love trying to figure out what he wants me to do, love being led, love whirling and twirling in somebody’s arms, love that they have to make you look good! Love the playfulness and the fun!

But it doesn’t have to be ballroom – Ceroc or Rock ‘n’ Roll or Street Latin or Argentine Tango – as long as you dance it together.

: )

Ballroom dancing is all about making up for the size of balls and tallywhackers.
Its why I never bothered learning to ballroom dance.

Doesn’t matter if you’re only dancing!

: )

Known fact ballroom dancers have small if no balls.

At least his work colleagues do ….

*guffaw*

Frankly, poptop, we are not amused! In fact, I may ask him to take me dancing if it doesn’t cost too much. He says he’s not ageist or shapeist.

I think Robbie is the victim in all this.

His life has been ruined for the momentary amusment of his work colleagues and us.

You’ve noticed that too?

*chuckle*

If we can teach Robbie a lesson from this, its that being eager or desperate is fine, but looking too eager or too desperate is viewed as a negative.

And there ain’t nothing specifically wrong with a woman taking her clothes off, especially if she thinks she looks good that way. Its frankly her choice, and only she knows if she’s confident enough to pull it off with the aplomb and tact the situation may require.
But sometimes its just not socially appropriate, (such as a day at the races, or the Canberra Centre food court at lunchtime, for example)…

Robbi64, I would know about that how exactly? Should I be offended?

*chuckle*

However I do think ‘Robbie’ is male although not necessarily a bloke, and I also think he’d have to be an escort surely? Otherwise, why would he ask you to ‘apply’?

I think it’s kind of nice that he claims to like ALL women, even if that is a bit desperate, but I think I speak for myself when I say I look much better with my clothing on these days and he should pay me not to take them off!

i’m so going in there tomorrow, for the lulz.

NO, it’s not me. 😉

imho, it has to be a bloke, as women are very sensitive about advertising that they have not been able to score recently, unless they are well and truly over themselves – and those ladies get taken up with quickly. i hope granny agrees with that observation?

i think, as a female robbi, since he apparently likes ALL women, that this robbie doesn’t know what he wants and is thus likely to be very difficult to please. unless you don’t have any clothing on, and happen to be female … and this may indeed be the reason he has to put up signs in shop windows.

his conversation skills may need improvement?

Everybody knows that a granny with an umbrella is a lethal combination!

come on, surely someone works in Civic? Take one of those fancy mobile phones that takes pictures… of course, this might be a modern version of a “kick me” sign.

Knowing my luck he will be some mass murderer serial killer stalker type, and this is how he lures his victims. Better take my umbrella.

Wow, Granny has a serial killer proof umbrella.

I’m guessing there’s a reason he didn’t say anything about the head.

You don’t look at the mantlepiece while you’re stoking the fire.

as far as i can tell, it doesn’t advertise for ladies… maybe he is looking for guys???

Go on johnboy, time for an date… i mean interview 😉

A nice waltz was more what I had in mind!

Head?! Gracious! I don’t think so ….

*hyuk hyuk*

I’m guessing there’s a reason he didn’t say anything about the head.

Ok, I will try and get into the Canberra Centre on Wednesday. Gosh! I feel a bit intrepid now.

*chuckle*

I wonder if he will want me to pay him!

Go on, and see if we can get a photo.

He’s already attracted internet gossip, maybe we can hype him into this season’s “must-have” arm-candy…

We have just assumed obviously ….

Do you want me to go and find out?

*chuckle*

IS Robbie even male, or have we all just assumed?
What if Robbie is bi, open-minded, or curious?
Also, did Robbie even write this, or was it done for him (and so has no idea why everyone is coming into the store to talk to him)?

If he is desperate I will take him dancing, but only if he’s gay.

*chuckle*

Well, it says Robbie likes -all- kinds of women, but doesn’t say “only ladies need apply in store”.
So men, go hit on Robbie. This looks like the action of a desperate man, so he might be up for it.

Bah, Tucker Max did that years ago with a web page, and his jokes (real life stories of debauchery) are always funny.

Well, he certainly has initiative.

– Romantic phases

How can you go past that?

Isn’t this how the sitcom Will and Grace started?

Don’t worry girls, Robbie has got to be Gay.

Er … no.
