<p>This photo captures the modren post-America sexual market better than any other I&#8217;ve seen of the genre. You&#8217;ve got two men (at least one presenting symptoms of early onset soyboyism) sharing sangrias over candlelight at a hipster bar with one fat chick who may as well be running a bizarro world reverse harem.</p>
<p>And then there&#8217;s that chalkboard sign behind them which, although the message is meant well, misses the mark by a country mile. It should read, &#8220;If your date doesn&#8217;t kiss you by the end of the first date, she&#8217;s here for the free [beer].&#8221;</p>
<p>Not &#8220;they&#8217;re here&#8221;&#8230;&#8221;she&#8217;s here&#8221;. Men don&#8217;t go on dates for free beer. Men go on dates for free sex. Only women pull the &#8220;free resources for promises of sex later&#8221; stunt. Of course, the sign writers are probably nerds or bluehairs who&#8217;ve spent their formative years immersed in gender fluidity nonsense and have lost touch with how men and women behave in reality.</p>
<p>Even more truthfully, the sign should read, &#8220;If your date doesn&#8217;t put out by the third date, she&#8217;s thinking about fucking some other guy (or already is).&#8221;</p>
<p>Recap:</p>
<p>Two males</p>
<p>fighting over one land whale</p>
<p>drinking sugar and hops bombs</p>
<p>by the light of a barroom&#8217;s candles.</p>
<p>May the odds be never in your favor.</p>
