It’s Friday, and that means answer time! For those of you who have commented with questions from previous ManFAQs, thank you. I’m adding yours to the list of questions women have asked about men over the years, and I will answer them all in turn – to continue to demystify the more malodorous gender for those of the gentler.\u00a0 Actual questions, posed by real women, and answered by a REAL man. What could go wrong?<\/p>\n
Question:<\/strong>\u00a0 Why does the waitress always seem to give you the check?<\/em><\/p>\n Answer:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0This is a tough one to answer, since it involves the ManFAQ trying to get into the mind of the waitress.\u00a0 This is not the part of the waitress that we have a lot of practice trying to get into.\u00a0 So, we will resort to baseless speculation.<\/p>\n I have to assume that a good old fashioned waitress will think that most men are eager to pay for dinner so that they can look chivalrous and prove that they are, or can be, good providers.\u00a0 Of course, we want to do this because if you think we can be\u00a0a good provider, you will consider us more favorably when deciding on a life-mate.\u00a0 Since most guys are incapable of differentiating between “deciding on a life-mate” and “looking for some Hey Hey later tonight,” we perceive this as\u00a0a right-now<\/strong> decision that we’re hoping to influence.\u00a0<\/p>\n And so the waitress will look at him, look at you, and make a snap judgment about who’s side she’s on, and who’s more likely the better tipper.\u00a0 She knows that by giving him the check, he will think that the waitress is trying to help attach his harness and carabineer onto the Hey Hey zipline, and he will usually pay extra for that.\u00a0 If the waitress herself is good looking, he’ll probably tip a little extra on top of that<\/span>, in case things don’t work out with you.<\/p>\n You, on the other hand, probably won’t tip her more just for being liberated enough to hand you the check, or for looking like she’s about to spill out of the silly uniform they make the waitstaff wear.\u00a0 So there’s a good chance that she’s handing him the check based on an unconscious cost-benefit analysis that tells her “he can pay, and he’ll pay me for it.”<\/p>\n Now you know.
