Wouldn't a woman with a package be better than a woman with baggage? Let's not get into the ones with issues... Are you not getting what I'm referring to as a 'package', or are you seriously less repulsed by a woman with a willy than a woman with a dark background? I was taking 'package' to mean a combination of feminine parts; but, since you put it that way, I'd have to agree with you.

I was going to say it was like reaching into a box, expecting to get a donut and coming up with a banana instead, but your analogy works

Funny as it is, I think we've gone a little off-topic here, LOL And yes, I understood what you were referring to immediately, even laughed

The show aired in UK last night. I agree with all findings.... I just dont know why.
The myth that some women are gold diggers is not a myth, its more of a warning from Father to Son?.... Prefer Blondes.... personal taste, I cant see how it got further. Chest size, I would not have believed it was that true, but, I cant argue with that.

Another explanation for the Stroop test results: Only a few people found the test givers attractive. I've been struck dumb by women that I considered to be drop dead gorgeous and I've seen other men react the same way. One woman was complaining that she couldn't really have an intelligent conversation with many of the men at work. She said they just tended to babble. I told her it was because she intimidates many men. She replied: "Oh yea, I am SO scary looking!" I just laughed at her: "Silly girl! You intimidate them because you are so hot." She blushed, she started to babble, and walked away.
Women looking for sugar daddies is a real thing. Men looking for sugar mammas is too. They even have websites to hook the two groups up.
Bigger boobs equal better tips: They don't have a Hooters in California? Every girl dressed the same. You simply walk in and poll the servers on who gets tipped the most.

Too many variables to just poll the servers at a Hooters, Tom. With a group of people, are the tips due to bust size, the quality of service, the customer's BAC (since we're talking about a place with a liquor license), the server flirting with the male customer when the female customer is the one paying (I've reduced tips for that myself) .... Tracking a single server keeps the variables down.

The other variable would be familiarity. You are probably more likely to give a decent tip to a waitress you know, possibly like or at least haven't had any issues with before.

I think the real truth behind where this myth came from is that while some men certainly are so shallow that they'll leave bigger tips for the waitress with the bigger chest, there's also the point to consider that other waitresses who don't get tipped as much as their colleagues might "look for a reason" and determine that it must be the chest and nothing else. If she'd had a more shapely behind than them, then that would have been blamed. If she was thinner than them, then that would have been blamed. If she was a brunette and the rest of them were blondes, then that would have been blamed. In their minds, it couldn't possibly be because she was just better at her job than them. It's easier to place blame on someone or something that's out of our control, rather than looking at ourselves and going, "How can I do better?"

This all depends on the place the customers and the routine. In the bar I work occasionally, the tips are small, but thats usual.... some/most of the customers are retired, you dont expect tips from those struggling on a pension. But the pay rate is good anyway....
Other places, I find the busier the bar and the quicker you serve gets most tips. Some bars you dont get anything at all.
I cant say there is a "Usual" type of tipper.. some of the people I would call friends dont tip at all, thats usual for that bar, some wait until the end of the night then buy me a pint to drink with them when I finish serving, some put a small tip in each round.... One bunch of regulars who rack up a £17 to £18 a time round (Average £2:50 a drink) just give a £20 and say keep the change, but as that is about twice an hour, thats bloody good tips.... One party we did, a Birthday do, the organizer walked up at the end of the night, asked if I had been paid well as I had been working hard, then tipped a pint glass out on the bar, they had had a whip round to say thanks, as well as the tips I had had the usual way.... I walked out with three times my usual pay that night... But that was one hell of a party........
Other nights, I have served a long night where it was a pre-payed bar, which I hate doing, and I got no bloody tips at all, I wont do that again. Unless they pre-pay Tips as well......
I also do not do kids parties at all. Ever.
Worst "Do" I ever did was a Wedding, something else I dont enjoy, the Brides Mother is always a Dragon at those do's, expects everything to be "Just so".... The one I did the Brides Mother stood at the end of the bar criticising everything. That included he own guests.....
At the end of the night she even tried to get a discount on the bill...... Thankfully her Husband held his drink a lot better than she did, managed to distract her, paid in full, and an extra £50 for "Working under difficult conditions".... But she kind of ruined the night for a few people?....

I still wonder sometimes whether banning children from alcohol is really the best way to deter irresponsible drinking.

I still wonder sometimes whether banning children from alcohol is really the best way to deter irresponsible drinking. I've always found it strange that you allow kids to drive before allowing them to drink. If you ask me, let 'em tip over drunk on their bikes a couple of times before they even have the option of driving drunk. I did and the one time in my life I got behind the wheel of a car while inebriated (it was an emergency), I vividly remembered those bike crashes. I don't think I've ever driven a car so "by the book" since I left driving school and this was 3 years after. I've never done it since and I'll never do it again. Knowing that however hard I tried to be, I wasn't fully there mentally and then getting behind that wheel was F'in scary! I'm not sure I would have felt the same way if I'd driven a car a thousand times but was only drunk for the first time.

sounds good in theory, but in reality, many kids are drinking and getting falling down drunk long before they are old enough to drive. the biggest argument against the drinking age is that it makes it tempting for kids to rebel by drinking and smoking.

Tending bar at a kids party.... Room hire in the local club. Soft drinks to kids, Alcohol only to parents. Mostly its just having someone on site watching the bar to prevent theft, the room is hired, they provide their own food and drink, but you cant empty out completely the bar, so someone has to tend the bar. Last one my Wife did, she took less than £50 in takings. But the room hire includes a bar person on duty. The bar person is also there to clean the room after the party ends. The room hire agreement asks that the room is left presentable after everyone leaves, all decorations to be taken down and any left over food removed... But that doesnt always happen.
On one incident I was asked to help with, the whole party had up and left at the same time leaving everything behind....
Two hours later, phone call that the club secretary took, can they have their food containers back after we had washed them?.... His reply, classic, you can come collect them now as they are or they will be thrown out, we are not in the business of doing other peoples washing up, we dont have the facilities. They arrived as we fished cleaning, took their containers back amongst a lot of tutting, and then tried to claim back the room deposit.... The room deposit is taken above room hire to ensure its left "Presentable". Three hours cleaning up means you dont get your deposit back "We wont come here again" "You wont be welcome after the mess you just left".....
I know I have a lot of bad news stories about what goes on inside Bars and Clubs, the worse side tends to be remembered, but this is what you have to put up with, its part of the job, you have to expect the rough with the smooth... On other occasions, I have had part guests clean the room to immaculate standards and even offer to hoover up as well....
Most parties end well, everyone has a good time, even the staff, but the one-percent of trouble is the ones you remember.
And if its trouble, its usually the younger generation.
Which is why I stay away from any party that headlines the under 25's..... Unless I know the family personally, and trust them to behave.
Kids parties, if you have ever heard the noise of a room of two dozen eight year old girls having a screaming contest, you know the main reason I cant go there. That noise HURTS!
I am partially deaf in one ear, dont know what the damage is, but kids screaming gets activating the injury from the first letter....
I got called to one party of such because a barrel was refusing to let go of its tap and needed changing. I had to go in the building by unlocking the delivery door, because the noise was a physical barrier to me entering through the front entrance... I could still hear them, so I wore the ear defenders supplied in the cellar just to allow me to work... (The pumps and chiller in there are a little loud after a while...)

Just as a note, we seam t have cross threadded a bit, there are laws of attraction things on another thread, and we are starting to go WAYYYY off topic here?.....

Laws of attraction myth... How does "Drunk" affect judgement.
Phrase "They are an eleven pinter"
Sexism free, either sex, someone who you wouldnt find attractive unless you had drunk so-many-pints.... Be that by looks or personality.
How badly does drink affect judgement?....
I "Think" I know the exacts on this, and its a difficult one to answer, because it affects different people differently, but, it does work.
In General, on a bunch of singletons who are on a speed date type of date hunting night.... In a party of mixed people, stone cold sober, a little chatting up happens. "Dutch courage" After a couple of drinks, some tend to get a little bolder, and significantly more chatting up happens.
You get to a certain stage where you are comfortable chatting to anyone who kind of meets your "Type"....
Then the elven-teen pint stage, at the end of the night, you wander well away from your usual "Type" and will chat up anything in a Skirt.... Scotsmen Beware.
Proposal I suggest a test much like the "Prefer Blondes", but with added alcohol, and see how ratings change as the night gets older and the beer flows......
Also..... Put in some experienced bar people to "Predict" certain responses.... "That guy has reached his [beer]target, he will tick "Yes" to anything from now on".....
At some point, rotate back people (Maybe after a change of clothes) who earlier got a "Not interested" response and see if anything changes after a few beers?....
