Charmers

Around 2 am this morning at Star City Casino a young woman in her early twenties boarded for Rushcutters Bay. She was escorted to the cab by a fella who was very solicitous, giving her money for the fare and insisting I get her home safely. ‘Been playing the tables ?’, I asked her. ‘No, I was upstairs in a beautiful hotel suite with some guys we met earlier tonight’.

It sounded like she’d been with a girlfriend who’d elected to stay the night. ‘You’re not staying with your friend ?’. 'Unfortunately no’, she said. ‘He’s really nice but he’s also married. Besides, I have to work today’. She then looked across and asked me, ‘Are you married ?’. ‘Nah, divorced’, I replied, ‘why ?’. ‘Well, this guy was flirting and super charming but at the end of the night he told me he’s married. I don’t understand why men do that’.

‘Mate, it could be any number of reasons’, I told her, ‘he’s insecure, unhappy, guilty, who knows. The best thing is he told you and didn’t totally deceive you. He probably should have done so earlier, was he wearing a ring ?’. ‘Nup’. ‘Well maybe he doesn’t wear one. When I was younger my work mates used to remove their wedding rings when going out for a drink'. ‘Well, maybe’, she said, ‘but it really pissed me off that he came onto me like that’.

The very next fare was a fella in his late twenties travelling from Elizabeth Bay to the inner city. After nominating the suburb he said, ‘I’ll tell you now so as not to scare you at my place - I need you to drive me down the back lane because I haven’t got any money. The missus left the key out the back so I’ll run in and get you some money’. ‘Fair enough’, I told him, 'what happened to your money ?’. ‘I blew it on the pokies. The missus will kill me if she finds out’.

He then revealed his wife had recently busted him having a fling with a younger woman. ‘It’s costing me fifteen grand’, he groaned. ‘Why ?’. ‘I promised to buy her new tits. But after losing tonight she might have to get them done in installments’, he laughed, ‘one at a time’. ‘Yeah, right’, I said, ‘how do you know she won’t walk after the job’s done ?’. ‘I don’t’, he admitted, ‘but if she does, then I’ll carve my initials in her tits so the next bloke knows who paid for them’. Another charmer.

‘Well, this guy was flirting and super charming but at the end of the night he told me he’s married. I don’t understand why men do that’.

Only men do this eh?

I'd say that she's never been cracked onto by a married woman before, Yobbo.

[Yobbo]

I have, and it's a lot more dangerous for us.

I thought according to 1 of ur comments last week, u spend all ur time behind a computer Yobbo, cyber affairs don't hold the same degree of danger.

Both of the guys in ur post sound v uncouth, Adrian, I guess these days if a girl makes a bar/casino her relationship hunting ground it's something to keep in mind.

Is monogamy over-rated?

Hey ab,

Is monogamy over-rated? I hear it leaves a lot to be desired!

Cheers,

I must be practising 'solomogamy'! ;)

Oh...by the way...'Lee' is the formerly known 'lg'!

I spend all my time during the week behind a computer. I party hard on the weekends, because my (9-5 wage slave) friends have their time off then.
