Twice within the past week or so, I’ve gotten the “come hither” hand gesture in a bar, almost Matrix style. Except, at least in the Matrix, Neo was motioning for Agent Smith to “come hither” to bring it on. According to my friend Yufei, these come-hithers that I’ve gotten are cop-outs because the guys don’t have the guts to approach me and thus resort to the come-hither gesture, hoping that I would go to them.
Also according to Yufei’s analysis, the gesture crosses international boundaries. So was there some new consensus that i wasn’t aware of where parents teach their sons the come-hithers instead of giving them the talk? “Son, if you see a pretty lady, all you gotta do is wave your fingers together a few times motioning for her to come over. That’s how your mother and I met back in the days.”
Maybe it’s all a part of men’s defense mechanisms against rejection. According to Xij’s wonderfully exciting rant, there are just too many “crazy-bitch-woman” in the world pounding men to the ground, ruining it for nice girls like us :)
