Sometimes I treat women like N****rs... I mean if they openly admit to liking Katy Perry or something I shun them. Am I a judgemental prick?
A girl yesterday even told me she was looking forward to seeing the new Spiderman. I threw up a little in my mouth... But what was I supposed to think?
I see this a lot in my patients. And I recognise it even more now I am myself advancing in years.
You have what we term as 'grumpy old man syndrome'.
Almost exclusively found in 'older men' , it has also been found in younger patients who appear to display symptoms of 'getting old before their time'
Outward appearances can be a give-away, with the afflicted often wearing knitted jumpers or running shoes with jeans.
If these triggers are coming by way of a woman you are trying to impress, all I can say is quickly find a way to change the topic to something that works in your favour such as growing up in the 70's/80's or what it was like before computers were invented (without trying to bore her)...
If however the triggers are coming from someone about which you give no fucks, then i simply suggest you allow you inner 'grand-pa Simpson' to present himself. Soon enough, the person who is making you regret getting out of bed that morning will lose interest and dis-engage.
