Dear Guy in the Burnt Orange Car,

Today as I was coming out of the store you attempted to get my attention by yelling “d@mn shawty, you sexy as hell, you gotta man ma?” Once you noticed that I wasn’t paying you any attention you then yelled “ma ma aye yo ma, I’m talking to you with your sexy a$$.” Then you had the audacity say “f@*k you” while speeding off once I ignored you…Now I’m not sure of the class of women you’re used to dealing with, but I don’t answer to bird calls. My parents did not name me pist, aye yo, shawty, and I don’t have any children so I won’t answer to “ma” either.

So since you don’t seem to know how to talk to women, I figured instead of bashing you, which was my initial thought, I’m going give you a couple pointers on how to approach a woman. The operative word being WOMAN. Now I’ll give you credit, you did attempt to give me a compliment, however the compliment that you were “attempting” to give was overshadowed by the ignorance that followed before, during and after. It’s okay to tell a woman she’s sexy, it’s ok to ask how she’s doing, but leave the ignorance elsewhere. We don’t want to hear you talking to us like we’re a piece of meat. Maybe next time you could start with “Hi my name is (state your name, no nick names please) and you are???” Show her that you have a vocabulary bigger than a kindergartner. If for some reason she turns you down or doesn’t give you the response you thought she should, don’t disrespect her. Still show her the respect you would want a man to show your mother, sister, aunt, or daughter.

Hope I’ve helped…Hope it’s not too late…

BTW my name is Rachelle or Danielle, depending on the day.

Sincerely,

Rachelle Danielle
