This Morning's Discussion
PERSON 1: Are you going to see Sex and the City this weekend?
(PERSON 2 and PERSON 3 laugh)
PERSON 3: No, I don't think so.
PERSON 1: seems like a perfect thing for a single guy to do; go sit in a room full of women...
PERSON 2: True.
PERSON 3: Yeah, but what a waste of $10. Wouldn't it be better to just be outside the theater when the movie let out?
PERSON 2: Like you're crouching in a duck blind.
PERSON 1: Right, and ask someone coming out, "How was it? Would you like to get a drink and discuss it?"
PERSON 2: Well, don't come right out with, "How was it?"; that makes you look like the guy who can't afford to go see a damn movie.
PERSON 1: That'd be even worse tomorrow. What with the matinee crowd and all.
PERSON 2: And you definitely don't want to make it look like you're just pacing around outside the theater waiting for the women to come out the door.
PERSON 3: I just thought of a major flaw in this plan.
PERSON 1 and PERSON 2: What?
PERSON 3: Even if it works, you then have to pretend you're interested in the Sex and the City movie for a little while afterwards.
FIN
(The above was loosely based on both an actual conversation in which I participated, and on some of my stream-of-consciousness about the situation. I'll be watching the Celtics tonight, at a bar, with friends, so if you see some mope lurking outside the Common Theater tonight, it ain't me. No promises on not trying to swoop on the matinee crowd tommorow. And don't bother asking why Person 3 speaks before Person 2.)

I'm guessing you were #3.
Anyway, better to watch the Celts tonight and wait for a few days before trolling (an unfortunate choice of words, but...) for Sex And The City encounters. The really lonely women will be going later in the week, after they've been disappointed by not finding any friends who want to go with them. Easier pickings then ;-)
