high maintenance girls

i hate to hang out with girls where our relationship is premised on me buying them drinks. if i can count on two hands the number of times we talk and you don't ask me for a drink, i don't think this friendship is going to last.

the reason why this is such a hot topic? real life. a healthy numbers of my friends from undergrad are all at the same med school now going through their 3rd year of education. because i hang out with them regularly i've had the chance to meet some of their friends. and one of them is an adorable girl named mitra. now i may or may not have had a crush on mitra when i first met her. and i may or may not have over the course of a year realized she was the she-devil reincarnated. and nowadays i may or may not be somewhere in the middle regarding what i think of her. the point is, she's the reason for the post.

let me put it out there plain and simple. it's not the dollars and cents thats an issue. i buy my friends drinks whenever i have money in the bank account and it really isn't a big deal. but the key is i have to like who you are. if you're not fun it's just not going to happen no matter how may times you ask. if the first conversation we have of the night is at the bar and its you asking me to buy you a shot, sorry, not going to happen miss lady. well there is one exception. the only way this will fly is if you are VERY attractive (like brooklyn decker status) and somehow you fool me into thinking you're interested. hint hint attractive ladies who read this blog.

but to be perfectly honest, some of the coolest girls i've met are the ones who are willing to pay for their own shit. i respect that. it shows you're not needy and your purpose in life isn't just to leech off my bank account with no intention of reciprocation. if they are willing to man up (or woman up), it makes me more willing to pony up some dollars for drinks.
