What To Do When A Woman Says, “Do What You Want!”
I’m following an extremely entertaining conversation on Twitter. It all started with,
@dharmeshG: When a girl says “Do what you want.”, what should you do?
We all know what’s coming, don’t we? For your entertainment value, here are some of the responses that followed that tweet. First, the funny guys who show up at any slightly debatable conversation (and how could they resist THIS one?)
@cleanragamuffin Dude, do anything BUT tweet.
@PaglaShaitan: Word RT @Batmanush: Drink beer.
Then came some advice, albeit couched in a dig.
@tailing2ideas: man, that is a warning. back off from whatever you were doin
@SupraMario:It means you’re fucked no matter what you do now, so you might as well go ahead and do what you want.
@chuck_gopal: If she is in some way responsible for your salary, then acquiesce to her wishes.
@sahilk: Do it and then pay for it later.
@slackerninja: Run for your life.
@bluebustees: Be very careful about what u say or do next. Its a trick
And the general consensus was,
@Mr_Anthrope: You don’t do what you want. And you do it with the broadest smile you can muster.
@oneblackcoffee: Do what she wants you to do.
@Raghu3885: Say “i would do what you want me to do”
@ideasmithy: Don’t do exactly that!!
This joke never gets old. Unless of course it was a genuine question. In which case, what, men are STILL having to ask that??!
Of COURSE we’re still having to ask that. I mean, “You mean we’re still having to teach children to use the potty?” New cohorts, new generations are constantly growing older and hitting the issue.
And it’s never constant, so even old farts like me have to be careful. And it’s rarely if ever obvious to us.
