I remember in college a particularly beautiful young woman was being squired around on the arm of a sleazy loser. A bunch of us guys were speculating about how she ended up going out with him. And a female friend, on overhearing the speculation, interjected "because he asked her, you idiots." Oh.

Hilarious! Cue Elvis Costello. "Is she really going out with him?"

That was Joe Jackson. A much better singer.

I remember a similar story from my college days. Turns out the super hot chick was so hot that almost everyone was too intimidated to ask her out. But that was a different era.

Cocaine seems also often to play a role, in my observation.

Way too late in life for me to experiment. Even though I was fully a part of the NYC 80s madness, never indulged. There were too many other temptations... lol
