Poor judgment

by Mr. New to Denver on Oct.19, 2009, under Activities, Dating & Women

Have you ever started a conversation with someone in a bar and immediately wish you could flee.   I’ve had countless drunks approach me and start rambling conversations.   But until the other night I can’t recall approaching someone and almost immediately regretting it.

I saw this hottie the other night.   I walked over to her to say hello.   We talked for a minute or two.   She seemed normal.   Until she mentioned that she is 21 and has a 5 month old girl.   The father of her child is a 45 year old drug dealer / gangster.   He was a regular at the strip club where she danced.

She had a very nice body for someone who just gave birth.  Especially considering she ballooned to 198 pounds while she was pregnant.  She attributed the weight loss to a steady intake of coke.

As a man I don’t truly understand all the nuances of being a women.  However, I would like to assume that my powers of deductive reasoning would allow me to determine I was pregnant prior to the 4th month.  The missed periods, morning sickness and weight gain would all be signs.

As I was playing Doc Phil she explained that she was probably in denial about being pregnant.  Again using my deductive powers I was able to conclude that the prenatal care during those first four months probably included a lot of alcohol and Marlboro lights.

We chatted for about ten minutes.  I was completely fascinated by her lack of judgment.  She seemed grateful I was listening and that I didn’t flee right away.   As I left I felt it was my Dr. Phil duty to offer some fatherly advice.   I told her to check out the Nuva Ring but I wanted to tell her something more profound.   I didn’t want to be preachy, although the way the conversation was going she would have probably been cool with a sermon.

Instead I asked a simple question that at one time was asked to me.   I looked her in the eyes and said “After all this have you gotten your head out of your ass?”  She chuckled and said “I hope so.”

I hope so too.  In part for her kid, but in a larger part because I don’t want my tax dollars subsidizing her poor decision making.
