Speak for yourself, I’ve clapped a bunch of waitresses and bartenders in oilfield towns. I also wasn’t a middle age dad when I did that though. Maybe it worked for them back in the day and they just kept at it.
I remember all the guys on our site ogling one chick that worked at Boston pizza, myself included. She had big titties, an absolute dump truck and was like a 9 on first appearances. Somehow I managed to do it and.. yeah very disappointed.
She kind of smelled, her apartment was disgusting and her car was just as bad. She was dirty as hell and it was a massive turnoff. Plus she got really possessive with me even though we weren’t dating and I literally flew home on days off.
You can put it on a pedestal and make a fool of yourself chasing it but remember, there’s always some dude that had it and didn’t want it anymore or some dude who is sick of her. Act like a gentlemen first, not a disgusting creep. If they want you, you’ll know. Most are just flirting to do their job.
