Both hetero genders suck, waitress mine, but for different reasons. Women are smarter than most men. Women created civilization and society. “I’m sick of living in a cave! Build me a house!” And I applaud them for that! But women—not all, not the very best—have been taught to see men as the source of status (power) and security. Who the hell in or his right mind does not want both, and toss in safety and security to boot?
I am going to repeat something that I have said here before, but that I doubt that you have seen: I think that, to me, Woman is the best idea that God has ever had. For me, she makes life worth living. She, second only to my union with the Lord God, is what made me fight to remain alive. You should know that I am a gym rat. Some day, I will elaborate. I once heard a woman in the gym where I was training at the time say, “My girlfriend wants a husband with a Master’s degree and making $250,000 a year.” I said, “I have a Ph.D. Does that count?,” knowing perfectly well that she’d no idea of what a Doctor of Philisophy degree is. She said, “But you’re not hege [North Shore Boston for “huge”). I said, “Depends where you look, Darlin’. It’s a muscle. It gets bigger, and stronger, the more you USE it.”

Yeah those four things are pretty great to have in life.
Women are nice to look at, most are easy to get along with. I get sick of hearing things like that woman at your gym said. I'm glad you threw that one at her though, hilarious. I would have liked to see her reaction.

My heart bleeds for our species, but, every night in my prayers, I thank The Lord for having helped me to see that there are wonderful people in the world, both women and men, and I thank Him for them, and ask Him to let me find many more of you; and to let many more of you to find me; because, waitress, I think you are one of them.
I have been in both mass-market and luxury retail for 18 years, with a substantial knowledge of the hospitality industry, to boot. Retail, especially in our no-social-skills-having world, is a hard gig. In the high end, it’s not as bad, but requires an exceptional level of people skills, confidence and guts. How are you holding up?
PS I left out my near-death experience as an infant, which may correlate to yours: My mother told me that she came into my nursery and found that I had my head underneath my crib’s mattress, and that I was suffocating. She/The Lord saved you me.

That's sweet of you to say!
I have my good days and bad days R. For the most part, I still really enjoy the job. I like people, I like helping them in any way I can. I like hearing that I'm sweet for giving them a store coupon or some discount that we might be offering that particular day. I like making them smile, even if they forget about me once they get into their car.

Then, as I expected, you are exceptional, and in such a small
space as we are forced to write!
