Don't hate the player. Hate the questions

I always assume that a guy isn’t a jerk until he proves himself to be. First dates are all about benefit of the doubt on both sides really. But the sheer arrogance with which these questions were asked left no doubt in my mind that I was dealing with a jerk. So as a public service to my fellow women, listen up men. I don’t ever intend to endure a night like that again. Sometimes there just isn’t enough booze in the bar.

Three questions that are probably NOT a great idea to ask a woman on the first date. In no specific order:
1. How old are you? (I’m legal. Next)
2. How much do you weigh? (Are you blind? Nope. Next)
3. How often do you workout? (How often do YOU workout buddy?)

Now, I’m not saying that these questions are always off limits, but at least wait until I have known you longer than 2 hours before dropping these bombs on me. They weren’t exactly a deal breaker, but I wasn’t exactly feeling all warm and fuzzy for the guy either.

Men, if you absolutely must ask these questions, as part of some elaborate screening process say, then pay attention. If you EVER want to have sex with that girl please utilize the following statements below after her likely curt responses:
1. My god! I never would have guessed that! You are hot! (Express genuine shock here)
2. You have an amazing body. (Look her up and down admiringly)
3. I’m sure you don’t even need to exercise. You look naturally fit. (Nod with certainty)

But if were you, I just wouldn’t ask.
