The Sultry

At Hard Rock Cafe, the 6 of us gathered around our $4.20 refillable drinks and chatted. S asked the waitress why the place was so quiet, and she replied, "The crowd comes on Fridays and Sundays."

So on this dismal and quiet Saturday evening, we talked about "Sultry".

There was this year 2 girl who always gave passers-by the "sultry" look. This, to KZ and S, was a strong bout of attractive energy no self-proclaimed woman-chaser can ignore. I was not sure what exactly they mean by "sultry" but the dictionary said it stood for "expressing or arousing desire".

If that were so, I would love to meet "Sultry" too.

Henceforth I must warn everyone of the trickery presented by ladies very similar to "Sultry". They are young, beautiful and seemingly weak and dependent. Just like the hungry cat that purrs at you meekly, "Sultry" gives you that undeniable thrust of seduction from her eyes that stifles you in this delusion that perhaps she loves you. The cat wants food; "Sultry" wants your tutelage. She wants you to impart to her your vast knowledge and experience. If you are her senior or someone with superior brain activity, she wants you. That's all. She will abandon you after you have reached your due-date.

Yes, she might go out with you every once so often if you are some amazing hunk with handsome good looks. But once she gets bored, she will look for another oasis to plant a new seed of desire. And when that oasis dries up, she will seek for a greener pasture.

The waitresses at the cafe were pretty. But unlike "Sultry" they were not looking at me. I felt glad. Because I could admire their youthful curves without worrying when I would end up cuddled and decomposed in their spider webs. For these waitresses, I would welcome their advances any time, any day.

Girls like "Sultry" are a disgrace to Venus. One word of advice for budding young guys in search of love: Do not classify girls in a different category. Classify them under Homo Sapiens. We are the same.
