- Jane, I felt sure that someone would give you good advice in time (well,
- besides the eminently sound advice of Mr. X) but it appears that you are
- acting rashly! It's true that if you wear this shirt 7 days a week you will
- likely be free from the unwanted attention of lesbians, but you will be
- faced with other social problems. (Your best friends won't tell you.) At
- least buy some t-shirts in different colors.
-
- Let's review some of the basic strategies:
-
- ====================================================
-
- 1. "I couldn't help noticing that you are coming on to me, from the way
- that you are [gazing meaningfully into my eyes|leaning over me|rubbing my
- breasts]. This is _very_ flattering, but I'm straight."
-
- Optional addendum: "But we can still be friends and hang out and do drugs
- together. Got any dope?"
-
- Advantages: Straight forward. May get you stoned for free. May get you
- invited to interesting parties.
-
- Disadvantages: The ones you actually want for friends may think
- you're just using them, and vice versa. Boring.
-
- ====================================================
-
- 2. Lock eyes with female in question and hold eye contact, maintaining a
- detached neutral expression. Once eye lock has been held 15 seconds, shake
- head slowly.
-
- Advantages: No embarassingly blunt statements required. People will think
- you are very cool and socially adept with body language.
-
- Disadvantages: The dumber ones won't get it. (But you can then tell them
- off without compunction.)
-
- ====================================================
-
- 3. "I feel I know you so well, I can share something with you. I have the
- body of a man, though I've felt like a woman all my life. I got the breast
- implants and I've been taking the hormone therapy, but I haven't been able
- to nerve myself up for the big operation yet. You don't mind my sharing
- this?" (continue ad lib.)
-
- Advantages: Fun.
- Disadvantages: One of them may be more adventurous than you thought. Also,
- it will be all over the grapevine inside of 4 hours.
-
- ====================================================
-
- 4. "Gee, I think you're sort of cute, but I'm under my Master's orders. My
- Master won't let me sleep with women except on his direct instruction." Be
- prepared to start embellishing as to details of your relationship with your
- Master. (It would help to have nipple rings.)
-
- Advantages: Fun.
- Disadvantages: See above.
-
- ====================================================
-
- 5. Feign psychosis.
-
- Advantages: Fun.
- Disadvantages: See above.
-
- ====================================================
-
- 6. Get a sex change.
-
- Advantages: Settles problem of being hit on by lesbians once and for all.
- Disadvantages: A lot of work for little return. In addition, you will have
- to start going after a completely different set of men than you're used to.
-
- ====================================================
-
- 7. "Thanks, but no thanks." Had you thought of just taking it as a
- compliment?
