Skirting The Issue

Can raising up the skirt, raise one's chances at love?

R., was on her way to the sari-sari store. She was wearing a skirt, no a mini-skirt. The store was a stone's throw away from her house so she decided to walk. Outside, while walking, a white car pulls over, a fat guy smiles and asks: "Miss, where's the way to Quezon Av.?" "Oh, straight ahead," she answers non-chalantly, unaware that her charm/sex appeal (that time) has won this guy over. She walks along. Car tails her. And then the guy again, reaching his hand as if on a handshake: "Miss, can I know your name?" Puzzled R., says, "R." and walks faster this time. Guys speeds away.

She calls me up a couple of minutes or hours after to relate this experience. Me says to her: now we know where the problem is, why your love life is fucked up. You should wear skirts more often," I kid her.
