Prop
Sometimes the scene will yield the perfect prop to exploit for bonding with girls. This guy gave us ten minutes of quality entertainment:
I know it’s hard to see (dark, buzzing cameraman) but there is a guy dancing in front of the fish tank holding a cell phone to his ear. I’m pretty sure there was no one on the other end of the line. He danced vigorously (leg kicking, pelvis thrusting) for a full ten minutes staring at the fish tank the whole time, cell phone never leaving his ear. Half the bar was pointing and laughing at him. The bartenders began imitating his moves, complete with mock cell phone. He remained oblivious to his public humiliation.
Thank you, Dancing Douche, for facilitating mating opportunities.
For the love of God, please tell me this was not one of the DC Lair guys.

He’s either a douche…or a genius. Yeah, it may look retarded, but assuming he’s dressed OK and not half bad looking, I’d bet more than one woman broke the ice with him to ask what he was doing.

Wow was that girl you were talking to drunk. That sounded like a near pass out level of slurring.

she was totally sober as far as i could tell. i think she’s just a slow slurry talker.

The best part about being a master of deadpan humor is the confusion in your listener when they try to figure out if you’re having them on or you’re being serious.
Must be nice roissy.

Pardon me, but based on this little vid here, I cannot believe anyone would think of making fun of him. Is there a “Posers Code of Behavior”? Jesus. Have fun…dance a little in front of a fish tank (oh, the horror) and people feel a need to humiliate you. It’s the ones who are criticizing him that need to get a LIFE!

InterestedParty, Candy Cane – I’d take your bets. Face it – this is DC. I would bet you good money that not only did no girl go near him, but that:
a) He talked to the fish between phone calls. Addressing them -as- fish.
b) In between Aquaman impressions, he got serious freaky-deaky with an unused barstool.
c) He was well north of 40.
Man, Roissy, you sure have one full, sexy baritone there.

yes, for the record, that is not my voice in the video. mine’s too low to be captured by any human made mic.

You might be right. In the video, it’s hard to tell if the guy was running his game or not. The important thing is this – HE GOT NOTICED. A lot depends on whether the guy looked decent or like a hobo. Assuming the former, I GUARANTEE you available girls (assuming there were any there) at least spoke to him. Yes, you may have used him as fodder as you tried to get with some chick, that’s true. But it’s not like you’re talking to every single female in the bar. If there were females not getting any play from anyone (or getting play from boring men), I wouldn’t be surprised in the least if some at least broke the ice with him (again, assuming he didn’t look and smell like a derelict).

What I saw in that brief clip was a man talking on the phone and bopping to the music. Roissy says he was thrusting his pelvis and kicking his feet, which is a far cry from what I saw. I just find it amusing that players like roissy find it necessary to judge every man he sees in the context of gaming strategy. For all he knows the guy was talking to his main squeeze on the phone.

the video only shows a few seconds of the full ten minutes this guy was dancing, and not even his best moves.
try to picture a guy holding a cell to his ear, elbow high in the air, looking at no one except the fish tank, and kicking his legs and thrusting his pelvis, oblivious to everyone around him pointing and laughing. this is not game, it’s social retardation.
i didn’t see one girl approach him the whole time. so if it was a plan, it failed miserably. but he helped other guys meet girls!

Ahem. Being the fair minded and magnanimous person I am, I at least try on occasion to see both sides of the story. One could argue effectively for “guy talking on phone gyrating in front of fish tank as douche”. One could also argue just as effectively that roissy and half the bar have rods stuck up their asses.

no, you numbskull, one could not argue just as effectively that half the bar had rods stuck up their asses.
sometimes i wonder if you even understand the words you write. having a rod stuck up your ass means you are defensive and uptight, and have trouble enjoying the moment. that does not describe what happened in the bar as we were watching this dork dance. we were laughing and having fun at his expense.
would it be too much to ask you not to be so obtuse in the future? yes, yes it probably would.

Roissy, just because you don’t understand does not mean I am confused.

15 roissy,
I think I can clear up this little misunderstanding. In my viewpoint “rod up the ass” could also include someone I would categorize as a “joy killer”. Being uptight in the sense of not simply allowing others to enjoy themselves.
Still, you might be right about my being a numb skull. I can be quite daft like I need to tell you. Off topic a bit, but do think “dumb” girls/women are better in bed? I asked this question a while back but neglected to check for responses.
