My DOXA frustrates a friends advances.

[TheWalrus]

So I'm at a bar with a couple of friends. For the record I have a girlfriend and the both of them are single (and a little bit eager, if you catch my drift).

Anyway, throughout the night one of these guys is getting closer and closer to the waitress. He's complementing her hair, her body, her personality, her sense of humor, etc. etc. (With good reason too, I might add)

She's very forgiving, and she puts up with it with a good deal of aplomb.

By the end of the night he's going all out trying to win her over. What I notice though, is that while he's showering her with compliments, she's staring at me. Now obviously, the first conclusion one might reach is that my Adonis like physique was simply too much of a distraction for her (or, indeed any woman). And, in fact this is the logic I was following until she began to talk. Apologizing first to my friend, who she's almost completely ignoring she says, nearly verbatim.... "I can't stop staring at his watch! It's SO ORANGE. It looks really cool. What is that." I give a brief explanation... the usual "it's a DOXA dive watch, etc. etc." but before I can launch into my typical schpeel about Jacques Cousteau, Dirk Pitt, the advantages of an orange face in turbid water, what Project Aware does, and what a nodeco bezel is she reiterates just how cool the orange face is and walks off to get our tab....

... completely ignoring my now hapless friend who's just been bested at wooing the ladies by a wrist watch.

I think that most of the time, a waitress is going to be the least likely woman in the bar to go out with a fella, whether or not a Doxa is present.

Cool story though. Now I need to source a Doxa so I can drive ladies away from my single friends

[Diaboliq]

Owned!

[Tragic]

Neat story.
A real pity though that she'd have been JUST as impressed by a pos Orange Monster

[Seth]

A TRUE wingman would've handed his buddy the watch and told him how much you liked his new expensive toy RIGHT in front of her....

Nah, not the same orange

Walrus, obviously you don't too closely resemble your nickname or even the watch wouldn't have been enough

If DOXA was smart, this could be the start of a whole new marketing campaign.

Thats true. Fortunately, though, I'm a moral monster and felt that this would make the funnier story on DWC.

Plus, by the time I realized what was going on, it was far too late, and I was forced to bear that heaviest of burdens - undivided attention from attractive women - alone.

Oh, of course, my chiseled Cary Grant meets Harrison Ford physique won the day in the end, I'm sure.

Also, I completely agree. DOXA orange is an entirely unique sort of orange. Definitely not comparable to an Orange Monster. I mean, my God.

Classic!

Maybe "DOX-blocked" rolls off the tongue a little better

I love it, dude! Obviously, your friend does not have the good sense (just kidding) to know that a watch helps make the man (or in this case, attract the women).

Sad that you could not set the hook deeper with the waitress, but it is what it is ...

I keep telling my single friends this! But they don't believe me. I mean certainly personality is important too, but if you can accent that with a nice watch, all the better. It's funny because all the women I know say the same thing. They like seeing a guy with a nice watch on.

If he had a Monster on his wrist, there is no telling where the night might have led. Once she realized what a great bang for the buck it was, and how Hardlex is better than sapphire, she'd have been licking his watch right there at the table.

One thing I love about this place is we never let a good zinger pass by unused.

[polaco23]

im lovin this thread.

Yeah my girlfriend also looks at other watches on dudes, for her its a brown leather strap that'll catch her eye. Ive also noticed women almost always notice your watch & shoes.

Now, how much for a used Project Aware Doxa again?

well, if this story still doesn't drive that point home - that a nice watch can only accentuate, never detract (it can even serve as an conversational ice-breaker), i don't know what will.

Translation: A nice watch can help you bang chicks.

Add a three wolves t-shirt and watch the hell out...

Beautiful. Simply beautiful. I did a nose trick with my coffee reading this one!

Well played!

c*ck blocked by the Doxa. dammit!

[425ranger]

The exact same thing happened to me.


Just change Doxa with "my Junk"; and "orange" with "Huge"
