The Shame Of Embarrassment (Classic)

It's funny how people can act when embarrassed. I think it's much more interesting in how we react to it, particularly the ladies' response. Fellas for those rare times you catch your woman at an embarrassing moment, she would rather you slap her than see her in that moment. A young lady I had known from high school I asked her out on a simple date. She had told me she was busy and was unable to come out for the night. I understood and said cool we have other times. Later that evening as I'm standing on my best friend's stoop. Guess who I see walking down his block hand in hand with another guy. Did I approach her, no I didn't. But the look on her face was priceless. Cause she couldn't look me in the eye. She even hid behind the guy in order to hide her face. 

I had to react that way cause I wanted to show her how mature I was. After that if we saw each other in the street, she couldn't look me in the eye. This was just one of my many "Gotcha" tales. It's funny cause I think in phone conversations women try to pull the "Jedi Mind Trick" on you. I know I've asked a woman something or she told me something that might have slipped "accidentally". When you bring it up in a conversation later, they would deny ever saying it or act like you heard differently. Is this a woman testing to see if a man listens or are they just talking sh*t? If that is the case, shouldn't a woman be prepared to have her bluff called?

Now if it's the mature thing to act like nothing happened. Am I not co-signing the behavior? If I don't bring up the fact that she got caught lying or fronting. What's to stop her from doing it again? This time for something bigger. Yes if I embarrass her, she will be uncomfortable but it will clear the air of the b.s. 
I sometimes think that women would rather get hit than wallow in embarrassment. Case in point is the Maury Povich Show. What happens when the woman finds out that the man is not the father of the child? She runs off crying, why? She has had an embarrassing moment on national television. So what changes if anything? 

I use the shame as a tool. Sometimes for learning or as a reminder that the lies won't be tolerated. Does this mean I look for a potentially embarrassing moment, No. However I don't let them slide. So be advised ladies that messing with a man who has some intellect and game, he will check your b.s.

Here's a gem that I learned from Chris Rock: "Men lie the most, women tell the biggest lie." Now who handles it better when they get caught is debatable. So for all the ladies that said, did, or showed off and got their bluff called I still have my eyes open. Thank you for making me more sharper than ever.
