Eagle Rants: March 4, 2013

•Ok so if a guy comes on too strong he's a creep, if he likes you but is shy about it he's a pussy, what is the right combination?

•@"No it's not. Jeans are never business attire. Do you by chance also happen to think leggings qualify as pants?" And people wonder why New Yorker business types are stuck-up, uncreative, and dull...

•How do you tell a friend who wants to be a dietician that the advice she's giving people is really bad and that the nutrition courses she's paying for are basically a scam? Probably you don't say anything at all, since she's not hurting anyone.

•Tavern, your food isn't good enough for your service to suck that badly. How has every angry and snarky employee stayed employed this long? When I worked retail they woulda kicked me out after one of the five things you've said/done while I've been here.

•"Good god why is it so hard to find a woman around here. You'd think with 65-35 ratio it would be easy." Where have you been looking? Because I'm right here. That being said, your dependence on that ratio is off-putting... are you looking for someone desperate? Do you need those odds to score?

•@ ""Just deal with it and don't stare at the girl's ass." Yes, women wear very low cut tops to NOT show off their breasts, and wear skin tight pants so NOBODY can see what their bodies look like. RIIIGHT.

•"I really like to have an anonymous tumblr" *posts selfies everywhere*

•I'm so sorry it had to end the way it did, but you shouldn't have kept me on the back burner in the first place.

•If there's the "classic" woman, what would the "classic" man be?

•ZAGS

•I set out from Reno I was trailed by 20 hounds

•@ "'It somehow reflects poorly on me that I need to work my butt off to get a girl interested...how about someone come to me for once?' Because any guy worth having will initiate the conversation. Be a gentleman" TRUTH

•@"So AEPhi stole Chi O's tradition of doing big/little revelation at the Lincoln Memorial? That's really desperate and obnoxious." Complaining about it seems trite and unproductive.

•Editor, please don't forget to post the rants. Thank you :)

•@"'Shoutout to the hot guys who use/run the photo lab aw yiss' 'who's the hottest?'": My favorite is the dark-haired guy with glasses, but all seem lovely. :)

•Is mayonnaise an instrument?

•The one LA with glasses, definitely.

•Shut up, Meg.

•To that preppy republican in KPU: I may not love your political views, but I ADORE those bow ties and American flag shorts. Please let me love you.

•@"Saving people. Hunting things. The family business." I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition.

•@Why is it so hard to find a sincerely nice, pretty girl whose conservative. . ." --I'm a conservative guy, and for starter, using proper grammar- in this case, "who's" not "whose" will probably go a long way. Good luck man!

•My roommate perfectly embodies the Forever Alone meme. Help meeee!

•Are fraternities school-sponsored? PLEASE tell me my tuition dollars are not going to white patriarchal supremacists. [Editor's Note: Fraternities and sororities are recognized by the Student Activities office.]

•Are fall classes going to be posted anytime soon? I want to plan my schedule please.

•@Halp I need suggestions for a cool place to get coffee, politics and prose is the place to go! :) [Editor's Note: Also, Tryst in Adam's Morgan. Owned by an AU alum!]

•Does hooking up at parties happen as often as it seems to? I have to approach half the women in the room just to get a dance. Is there something I am missing? While we're at it, what's the secret to winning the lottery?

•Studying abroad is not a possibility for every AU student. Yeah, I know, it's a "great experience" and everything, but some of us are stretching our means just to be here at all. I can't afford to spend thousands more on top of what I already do just to have a great experience. There's nothing wrong with people who do go abroad and I'm happy that they get a lot out of it (I really am), but please don't try to tell me it's "necessity, not luxury." It's luxury.

•I wish I had a blog that people cared about. Or well, I wish people simply cared about what I had to say/I had something interesting to say.

•@" Nudists probably think they are comfortable too" nudists are comfortable man! they r living the dream in a safe space. you need to ~chill~ about leggings cuz no one's policing yr wardrobe policies so how about you just forget about it and have a pizza or something.

•Every time I say something wrong, every time I make a mistake, every time I am weak...It kills me to keep proving to myself that I'm not good enough for you.

•could go for a rimjob right about now

•Nothing is more frustrating than getting comfy in the library and then realizing there's no plug near you.

•go away. everyone just go away

•@ feminist. oh yes there is a classic woman. they have been oppressed by feminists. Classic woman group should be created on campus.

•I gave up Eagle Rants for Lent. Oh wait, oops...[Editor's Note: I forgive you, my son/daughter.]

•What is this, a center for ants?! [Editor's Note: Derek Zoolander 2016!]

•I'm really tired of the games you play. Just be straight up with me. I'm a big kid; I can handle it.

•Looking for a great non-touristy romantic date spot in D.C.! Can any ranters help me out? [Editor's Note: Depends. What is he/she/you into? My vote is always theater and then a trip to Kramerbooks.]

•Hey, dude sitting across from me on the silent floor of the library. Wanna cover your damn mouth while you yawn?

•DOUG, YOU'RE ONLY SUPPOSED TO BLOW THE BLOODY DOORS OFF!

•I probably could bring four severed feet on a necklace and girls still wouldn't look up from their Iphone. So conversations are definitely out of the question.

•@"Because any guy worth having will initiate the conversation." someone's stuck in the '50's
