One lonely lobster tossed into a bucket has no problem getting out. One claw over the other and Mr. Pinchy is free. Add one more lobster to the bucket and it is a recipe for disaster. Neither lobster can escape. Why you ask? Because as soon as Mr. Pinchy is an escape-bisque artist, the other lobster grabs hold of him and pulls him down.
There ARE plenty of fish in the sea.
Ladies, I have seen the Lobster act one too many times recently, and I can stay silent no longer!
As soon as a girl meets a guy at a bar, the surrounding girls swoop in like vultures... I mean lobsters. Picking at her and dragging her back down into the bucket with them.
Set up a few guide lines with your girlfriends before going out to prevent being thrown into the bucket. Here are my suggested "Rules of Engagement"...or should I call them "Rules for Meeting a Potential Engagement."
1. Have a no-compete clause with your girlfriends. There is plenty of fish and other sea creature in the sea, there is no need for all of you to compete for the attention of one man. This might include a simple calling him, "oh, he is mine." Makes him off-limits to the rest of the crew.
2. Build your ladies up. There is a good reason you call these girls friends. Remember why they are such great catches.Make sure you talk up their best qualities in front of the man they are interested in, and they will do the same for you.
Ladies, let's evolve into a new breed of dating lobster, the kind that lifts our pinchers and helps a fellow lobster up and out of the bucket and into the dating pool.
