The Counter-er

Over the past year I have encountered a decent amount of frustration which I will attribute to the Chicago man. I have vented a lot about him in the past, usually referencing the fact that he does not approach women. He says this is because he has been turned down so often in the past that there is no point. Too much rejection has caused him to retreat to just looking a beautiful woman when she passes, rather than making an actual move.

My best friend Shaft has a male friend in the Veg who is actually from Chicago. After her recent trip here she vented to him about the same problem I encounter all too often. His 2 cents on the situation...

"[Men from Chicago] are counter-ers"

Now more than likely you're face is twisted and you have the gangster side-eye like I did. His definition of this new term...

"...we like to wait until you say something and then counter it."

When asked why they stare so hard, the answer was...

"...that's because we're trying to hypnotize you."

Now, as a disclaimer, this character may not be all the way there in the head, but nonetheless I found this to be a very interesting explanation, and quite honestly, it doesn't sound too far off.
