What happened to days when men use to dress nicely and serenade ladies in the moonlight with his friends playing the guitar in the background.
I never got to experience those times in my culture. By the time I was born people started to think up ways of being impersonal. It's sad that my generation is coming out with more and more unromantic ways to court somebody...what am I saying, nobody "courts" anymore.
One of the most impersonal ways people use to communicate is through texting. People create and break a relationship with a simple push of a button, without having to see each other. Doesn't that sound great?
I never got into the texting craze back in late grade school and all throughout high school. All I kept thinking about was "My pesos! I"m wasting my pesos and you're just saying hi!?". Yeah, call me different.
We just keep stepping down the romantic levels to make it easier for everybody. What's next? A remote control that make people fall in love with us? The worst way to pick up someone is known as "booty grazing". Silly term, when I first heard of it I thought farmers were having an inter-species erotica moment with their cows.
These days, people communicate through text messages more than they do phone calls, and booty calls are no exception. People don't even have the decency to ask someone out in person anymore, and instead punch in a few measly letters and symbols in hopes of getting lucky.
Let me know if this sounds familiar. Booty grazing happens between the hours of 1 to 2 a.m. or anytime before 6 a.m. usually on Fridays or Saturdays. You get a text message that very brief like "what you doing?" or "you out?" - usually from someone you barely even know. One thing you might not know is that you're not always the only one on the receiving end. Chances are that he or she didn't just text only you but everyone in their phone book. That's called booty grazing, texting everyone in your phone book to see if they'll get lucky with anyone.
Here's is a tip for the ladies since booty callers are usually men, aware of the booty graze. Never accept a text message that is booty-call-worthy and at least try to get the guy on the phone for an actual conversation, even if it's brief, to feel out the situation first. Use your judgment, because you definitely don't want to meet some guy when he didn't even care enough to single you out in the first place.
