Lounge lizard should crawl away

Hey there, time traveller!

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: That slimy lounge lizard who thinks he’s entitled to go back to the bar where he picked up a guy’s wife deserves to get kicked out by management. He’s sleeping his way through that bar with God-knows-what sexually transmitted diseases he’s picked up. Even if he drinks champagne by the bottle, his bar tabs cannot be enough to justify his presence there to the bar owner.

I think this husband should have gone to management to tell them to tell this pig to move along. In that situation, it is appropriate for management to say, “We don’t want your kind here.”

— Not a Racist, But a Humanist, St. Vital

Dear Humanist: The husband is humiliated enough, so it’s highly unlikely he would want to talk to management about kicking the lounge lizard out of the swamp. If he really wants to be safe, he’ll get himself checked out by his doctor and take a long, hard look at his marriage, and possibly move along himself.

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I enjoyed Lover Not a Fighter’s depiction of his dilemma after the husband of a woman he bedded at his favourite bar came after him there and threatened to bash in his “large white teeth.” He wants to keep hanging out at that bar where he’s well-known and popular, but worried. Here’s the thing: if he’s smart enough to see the dangers of sleeping with married women, he should be smart enough to ask and find out (and be reasonably sure) that she’s not lying. This is no different than using protection during sex, and I hope he does that.

The bottom line is he shouldn’t have to leave his favourite watering hole; instead, he needs to get on the morality train and enjoy intimate times with ladies who are unattached. If he doesn’t, his problems will only manifest at any new place he goes to, eventually, and all the money he spent on his new dental work will be wasted, or worse.

Dear Just Sayin: Lots of people at bars lie about their marital status. Why should anyone believe what a late evening one-night stand says about that issue, no matter how sincere they look? They could easily have a ring in their pocket or purse.
