Lady vapers...Chime in!!

[V8peQueen]

The other night I was at a venue watching a show: inside you cannot smoke (lots of people were vaping tho...) OUTSIDE you can smoke cigs. I went outside with my gf because she wanted to have a smoke, so I pulled out my vape and started vaping along her side. A group of guys approached me and started lecturing me about how I should "smoke the real thing." Of course i chalked this up to ignorance and perhaps an easy-in to start "a convo" with me where they could assert their marbroly manliness. Has this ever happened to you? Or anything like this? To me, it felt like attacking vaping was the "in" which is lame.

 

[V8peQueen]

Or maybe, male or female (lol) there is a clever line you came up with? A clear "vape" shut-down?

 

[Jugband]

I just got back from a four day outdoor concert. I had a few people approach my friend and myself asking what we were "smoking" they all loved the smell! My friends was usually coffee flavored, my usual was a strawberry mix. Everyone there smoked, but were very intrigued with our Reo's. No one knew what they were. No complaints, just loved the smell. And no, being hit on was not an issue for us, were both older, our day has passed!

 

[Nikkita6]

No, I can't say that this has ever happened to me while vaping, but I don't vape in public all that much ... Now, guys using lame excuses to strike up conversation? Need I say more?

I wouldn't take very kindly to any stranger approaching me to tell me that I should not vape, or anything else for that matter, male, or female ... just not a good idea.

 

[MissBlue]

HA. i DARE any guy to start in with 'mansplaining' to me. He won't know what the eff hit him.

now i *might* be polite, and make one attempt to share accurate information, to educate him - IF he's not too obnoxious, and is open-minded to listening. But if anyone steps to me with an attitude or a "tone of voice", they will not like what they get, LOL. I also don't take kindly to anyone lecturing me or telling me what to do. Grownazz woman here thankyaverrrrymuuuccch.

and if that was done as some lame way of attempting to chat me up, welllllll, that would not be a smart - or successful - way to go about that either.

 

[Kiwiboo]

If, god forbid, someone - male or female - attempted to pull that with me, depending on my mood, I would either:

A. Let them blather on, smiling and nodding on the outside, formulating a witty response internally to deliver,when they finally .... or;

B. Shoot a death stare, with a smile, tell em to self formicate in onr or more languages and walk off.

You never can tell though....like I said, it depends on my mood. The older I get, the less tolerance I have for bs (hence why they call it the naughty forties I suppose).

That being said, there are a few Kiwi's of both genders who have survived seeing my inner New Yorker come out and dared not tread there again. (I try really hard to keep her controlled but sometimes...)

Cie la vie mon cheries.

Blessings!

When I got in a discussion at my counselor's office with the owner of the place, after he saw my ecigarette, some random patient chimes in "those things are killing people". Lol! I ignored her and continued informing the guy about the contents of ecig vapor.

Male perspective here; those guys seem like they wanted to start a conversation with you. Either way, simply ignore them. I like to pull images of a smokers lungs...shuts people up right away.

lmfao! yes! And just wait til you pass 50... it only gets more delicious to gleefully let fly on telling such .... orifices to formicate OFF! hahahaha lolol *snort*

those guys seem like they wanted to start a conversation with you.

if they seriously cannot manage to come up with something even marginally less lame than that, i'm just sorry for them. which opinion i might consider expressing once i get done laughing. bwahahaha

 

[Kiwiboo]

I tend towards reminding people that opinions are like .... apertures.....makes em think as I breeze away without a care in the world. Heh

 

[celticluvr]

If someone came up to me trying to tell me what to do... well lets just say they might be able to limp home. Maybe.

Or I may try telling them the real info on e-cigarettes.... then beat 'em up.

Seriously I'd probably tell 'em to... (insert unladylike language here)... then walk away.

Dude-bro cro-magnon with a red solo cup and popped collar: "Hey there chica, why don't you smoke the real thing?"

Chica: "I always find the "real thing" disappointing. Battery operated metal and plastic always satisfies." [cocks a dismissive eyebrow]


EDIT: not a lady, but felt i could contribute. feel free to use this line at no cost to you. enjoy.

 

[Kiwiboo]

This is what most of my guy friends would say......brilliant comeback.

Lame pickup lines always worked for me in my younger years. Heck even receiving lame pickup lines worked on me.

Just take it for what it was. Pickup lines. Either tell them nice try or start a conversation with them.

 

[catlady60]

I find it ironic when some guy tells me that I'm killing myself with my mods while he's coughing up a lung smoking.

 

[fraychek]

Ummmm, because I don't want to get cancer and I don't want to smell like you . . .

 

[Megs]

I got a few inappropriate comments at a field days when I took my vamo. I figure it's the same concept as little boys mocking girls because they don't know how to communicate yet, and reacted exactly the same way - shut them down.

If it happens again though I'll definitely use Scaralouche's line, it's perfect.

 

[EvilZoe]

I've had guys say that frequently. I tend to think it's more of an automatic response to seeing someone using a PV than anything else. Of course, if the PV user is a hot girl I suppose I could see a guy using that line as a conversation starter...lol


My response when someone says "Why don't you smoke the real thing" is "Well, I got tired of stinking to high heaven and burning through my hard-earned money."

There really isn't much they can say after that...hehe

 

[HauntedMyst]

I think Ladies, and Zoe will back me up here on this one - when a man comes up and talk to you, no matter what they say, the proper response is "Hello Sir, may I get ya another beer, sir?" or "How may I serve you sir?"
