21:20 by FoxTwo Relax, this isn't a woman-bashing post. It's a genuine question.
See, recently a newly-acquired female friend started to want to hang out with me during my weekly sojourn tosleazy pubs. "Newly-acquired" meaning she only just managed to get my number and we have no friends in common. She's totally from outside of my normal circle which I "hang out".
Initially her SMSes were along the lines of:
Her - "Hey where you at?"
Me - "Boat Quay, pub name is xxxx"
Her - "Who's with you?"
Me - "Uhhhh you don't know them... Dave, Steve, Soon Hock, Angeline"
Her - "Oh, I dunno them".
Me - "That's what I said"
Then she didn't turn up. Understandable.
A few weeks later, she did the same thing again:
Her - "Where r u?"
Me - "Duxton, pub name is yyyyy"
Her - "Who's with you?"
Me - "Same lah. I don't have many drinking kakis ok?"
Her - "Oh, I dunno them"
And she didn't turn up. Again, understandable.
A couple of days ago, she did the same thing again:
Her - "Where are you?"
Me - "Clarke Quay, at zzzzzzz"
Her - "Who's with you?"
My question is, Why is it so important she asks "who's with you?" all the time?! We have no friends in common, none of the names I tell her will be familiar to her. Some other female friends have told me that she just wants to know if the pub is too far or too inconvenient.
Fine.
If the place is too far, or too inconvenient, you can already tell from my first reply - I always reply with location, pub name. You can decide to come or not from that information. "Who's with you?" is an irrelevant question. It has no bearing on your decision to come or not to come.
Anyway, this time I did this:
Me - "You decide to come then I tell u"
Her - "Yah I want to come."
Me - (gives directions, did not mention who was with me)
Her - "ok I see first. if I decide to come then I SMS you again"
What the hell? "I want to come" and "I see first" is a total reversal. Just because I didn't mention names?
No I'm not pissed or disappointed she didn't turn up. I'm more irritated by her constant "Who's with you?" question. I just don't get it - why do women need to know WHO are with me? Is it generally the same for most women, or is she just weird?
Guy friends are so much easier, by the way. The moment I reply with location and name of pub, they'll reply whether they're coming or not. Short, and sweet.
So ladies, enlighten me please. Why the need to know "who's with you?" if we have ZERO friends in common?
