A male friend of mine related this story to me about one of his acquaintances at work. He says there's a girl at his work who has repeatedly shown him signs of having the hots for him, to the point that even other people have noticed. Even the girl's own bestfriend, when questioned by my friend about the somewhat odd behavior, straight up said, "Whoa, she's flirting alright!"

Anyway, this conversation apparently unfolded recently between the said girl and my friend. Keep in mind that my friend is single, and has been for quite some time, while the girl already has a boyfriend (from what I've been told she always has one, and has someone waiting on the wings at all times). They were caught up in idle time when this happened:

Girl (G): You know, you're the kind of guy who comes to mind when I think of the term, "boyfriend material."

My Friend (MF): What? Why?

G: Because apart from you being intelligent and "deep" whenever it comes to conversation, I rarely ever see you spend any money.

MF: And what does that have to do with anything?

G: Well, since you're such a thrifty person and don't spend a lot of money, I figure you would be very generous when it comes to spending money on your girlfriend.

My friend just laughed at her at this point, not really knowing how to react. And I laughed to when he told the story to me, then I quieted down when I realized that it made perfect sense.

This girl already had a boyfriend (who is most likely her alpha fux) and was continuously trying to bait my friend because as the earlier conversation reveals, she was looking for her beta bux.

My lesson: If you give off any "provider" vibes, beware of women wanting to lock you down.
