Funny story, but....couldn't you have just left after the guy you didn't like started showing off? Wasn't the writing kind of on the wall at that point? Rednecks? No red flag for you there? I'd have expected the guy I was with at that point to say, "this doesn't look good, let's go somewhere else."
I bet the whole thing started with the worst four words that could be spoken in such a setting: "Hey guys! Watch this!!"
Seriously, when I hear myself say that, I take a long moment to contemplate exactly what I'm about to do!

Oh yes ma'am..I was free to just laugh and walk away but 2 things made it almost impossible for me to do..the first is this culture of honor - Google Search and the second thing that stopped me was the very sad fact that I TRULY believed that I could flip that lure into that beer can ...I had already figured this was a one night only deal anyway because when I picked her up she got a bit of mud on her pants leg trying to climb up into my truck and complained about it all the way to the party.
Btw. A poster on this site dm'ed me after 5 pages of arguing with her and clued me in to that Culture of Honor thing..at first I thought she was gouging me until I studied it a bit and started seeing parallels and explanations as to why I did some of the things I did in the past...I now use it kinda like a "race card"

"hey watch this "or "you ain't gonna believe this chit" have killed,maimed and gotten more redneck butts kicked than all of the wars in history combined...ill look for a link as proof of that for ya j/k
The funniest one I had was a man who misread my profile when I was doing match. He thought I was 9 years younger than I am. He liked the pictures enough and liked me in person enough and said something to me in conversation (I think about cartoons we watched growing up) and that clued him in. When he said he thought I was younger, I told him, "no, look at my profile again." He did on his phone and then told me I was "too old."
LOL. There was no second date (I don't think either of us were interested in each other after that). The irony was, in reality, he was about 4 years older than me. So he thought he was out on a date with someone 13-years his junior.

Ruth, I think muleskinner is trying to say that he is a redneck. Great story mule--ya made my day. Now I can get off and get to work. And I learned something from the culture of honor article, which will come in very handy b/c I'm moving to the south in a month or two.

+1..if my neck got any redder it would look like a stop light
I actually studied that C of H thing and although I've never been a fan of stereotyping anyone,I have watched other rednecks closely and have found it to be very true almost to the letter..kudos to the folks that figured it all out and like I said,I use it like a race card now.
Wife: " you did WHAT!"
ME: "BABY,you KNOW I can't help it..its in my genes(jeans too)"

If it were a stop light wouldn't you not do what you were about to do? So, in essence it would figuratively be a green light since you usually do on and do what you know deep down you should not do because of the repercussions ie: stitches, being clobbered, blood, puking girlfriends....

Let's see...a few weeks ago I went out for a drink with an online date and he asked me point blank what booze and how many it would take to get me to have sex with him. Not super appropriate...I had my old fashioned and then left.
Had a guy go on a bit of a rant about tattoos once, not realizing I have a nearly completed sleeve. The fact that it's stated very plainly on my profile and there is a picture that shows my arm I realized he didn't actually read my profile at all. After he was done complaining about how stupid, lazy and idiotic people are who get tattoos I slowly pushed my sleeve up, smiled, gave him a high five and left.
A friend of mine went out with a guy who decided to go ON AND ON about how disgusting 'fat chicks were' pointing out the physical flaws of the other women in the restaurant. She is really athletic, but used to be quite obese before working for years to lose the weight. She let him know what an a-hole he was and left.
