Man with a mind

After going through the MG #91, I came across Nicole Gordon’s article, “Woman With a Pulse”. It touched me deeply. My first year in Colorado I lived in Almont, outside of Crested Butte. I had a roommate there with a great body and wonderful eyes. When I first arrived from Montana, I was informed that her boyfriend from Boulder was staying at our house for two weeks.

OK, I can handle that. When he arrived, he had a new pair of tele-skis for her. A few days later, it was a new coat. The following week, he gave her a snowboard with daisies on it. I’m thinking, “Damn, she is working this guy over.” When the two weeks were over, he headed back to Boulder, thinking he had just purchased his future wife. A couple days later, our roommate sprung the surprise that her boyfriend from Georgia and eight of his closest friends were arriving for Crested Butte’s, now-deceased free skiing. They arrived the following day and planned on bunking up with us for a week. This may have been fine during my usual ski bum years, but I was trying to improve my life by becoming a studious pupil at Western State College. This was too much to take.

The Georgians arrived and immediately wanted to get a keg. I stepped in and became the asshole who was only allowing one night to stay, without a keg, at my house. From this boyfriend, my roommate received her first kayak, a POS Scorpion, but a boat nonetheless. As an added bonus, he also gave her crabs.

Spring came along, and it was time for the next beau. A fly-fishing guide. Yep, you guessed it; she got her first fly rod and waders.

So to all of you ladies, living in our wonderful mountain towns, taking advantage of the fact that you look great — compared to the other three girls in the bar. You could get a lot more toys if you simply charged by the hour. To the hordes of men looking for love, here is a simple test to see if your perspective girl is worthy of hanging out with: Ask her to buy you a beer.
