Gaze unto me...

I'm reminded. Anyone remember my lamenting, months ago, that the counter-guy at Arby's was flirting? And how unfair it was that I seemed to atttract the weirdos?

This has been born out elsewhere, but. Anyway. The Arby's Romeo, apparently, has many girlfriends.

We were talking about him at work the other day. He flirts with anything female. It's... vaguely amusing, vaguely sad. And uncomfortable for every woman who goes there.

And here's where the whole, "Appearances" thing comes in. This guy is NOT cute, handsome, personable, or even vaguely attractive.

He's ugly. Really ugly.

So, he's like a creepy stalker guy.

However. The proviso I sense is that, if he were cute, there wouldn't be so much trouble. Er. uncomfortableness or creepiness, or general, "Get him the fuck away from me!" ness.

I am considering writing a letter, except, y'know? Life's too short, and I don't like Arby's anyway. Much.

Right. It's only okay for the pretty people to flirt. Everyone else should just fade into the background, die away, or otherwise stop trying to insert themselves into the elite's lives. They are mere peasants, after all.

That was my point, in a way. (it might also help if he weren't just so... overtly slimy. Ralph Fiennes doing and saying the same exact stuff would also give off creepy vibes. It'd be cute, but. Still ick).

Couched as it is in Kossie-speak-sorta.

My own perception says that I might have, possibly, given him a chance if I didn't find him mentally repellent. Physically, as well.

But I can't speak for everyone. Perhaps there are tons of women wishing to throw themselves at him.

And. The main point, he's harrassing people. If he were gorgeous, it would still be wrong. He makes women *uncomfortable* by his very words and gestures and gazes. And very few women are going to consider hitting him much less ripping his tongue out.

Er. Carried away, there. Pardon.

So where does the line between flirting and harassment go?

I think it's personal preference, sadly. Some women probably love it. Others, don't.

Eh. I'm not awake enough to be philosophical yet.
