When you're stuck..., what do you do?

So my wife is downstairs chatting with her younger sister, who is visiting for the evening. One's drinking Twisted Tea or some crap, and the other is drinking champagne, and they're both talking chick crap. Her sister just broke up with her boyfriend, so it's high drama.

Now, her sister is decently hot with a nice bod, and she's really sweet, so I don't mind really participating in these convo's, but sometimes, it's just too much to take. Sometimes, I feel the need to duck and cover.

The question is, what is the best way to get away without being a dick? This last time, I simply got up, went to the fridge to get a beer, and then walked right by them to the computer room. Now I'm here talking sh!t. I'm not asking for advice because god knows I have more experience with women than 99.999999999999% of this board, but I was just curious what some of the guys here thought about ducking out on chick sh!t and how to avoid being an a-hole.

When you're lost in the rain, in Juarez when it's easter time too...

Jojo, if you don't stop hijacking this guy's account, he's going to get pissed...

lol i really did think it was jojo untill i saw the name

No smilies, it couldn't be jojo.

But really, I will spin it this way. If youre wife and her sister are that in engaged into a high drama talk about breakups, they don't care that you are there, unless the sister is looking to you for advice. They are in their own world.

Now if it's after the fact, you can say something like "Hey I'm sorry, but I didn't want to butt in. I know how upset your sister was, and I didn't want to be a bother." I just think on the whole when you deflect blame, responsibility, or any type of remotely negative feelings back to you, the other person feels much better.

If you have to ask love advice from a bunch of teenagers you're in for a world of troubles.

Speaking as one of the 0.0000000001% with more woman experience, I think you can do 1 of 2 options:

1) Intrusively become p/o the heart-to-heart convo. Get right in there in between them, finish their sentences, & fawn all over the distraught SIL. You wife will start with dirty looks, then a kick or 2 under the table with lots of hints to STF up, or maybe ask to speak to you in the kitchen, or they will send you outta there in less than 5 minutes. THere is a less than 1% chance you will be invited into it or allowed to continue. Or

2) Just be really direct about it -- "This chick-talk doesn't have a lot to do with me, so I've got stuff to do in the garage," or "I need to get a beer" or whatever, then split. And dont come back.

Justin, you're welcome.

Almost forgot the smiley

You guys kind of missed my apparently poorly presented point.

I wasn't asking for advice for myself, as I was more being tongue-in-cheek about it. It was more just me throwing something out there for some of the youngsters to discuss. I had/have no issue with what was going on - I was just curious to see if some guys actually DID get put into uncomfortable positions when dealing with chick crap. Someone like Aitkens might benefit from the advice of others with more experience with women...

I was buzzed, and bored, so I thought I'd throw something out there to spark conversation.

Now, looking back at these responses, and knowing that some of you geniuses really think I was asking for advice, I know that it didn't come off the way I intended.

Oh well, I really just should have said, "tell a story about dealing with chick crap". My bad.

This is what DMM would do.

Stick around and pretend you are listening to the younger sister. Really act like you care. Offer them to get up and serve them their drink of choic. After their third drink, crush up 4 Tylenol PM's on your wifes drink. This should make her pass out. Tell her you will stay up with her sister to keep her company. Keep serving your wifes sister champagne, even offer to take a shot of Tequilla with her. After getting her completly freaking drunk MAKE YOUR MOVE.

Bang the $hit out of her, I mean she would be so drunk she is probably going to blackout. Do it man, there is nothing more than scoring with your gf/wifes cousin or sister.

Justin, you find a good book, and go take a 5-hour "dump"...that's what you do. When you get out, they'll even be impressed by the lack of stank eminating from the john.

No matter what the case, if the men are outnumbered by the women in a conversation, they men are basically not there.

I would play the guy card. the I'm sorry I would love to participate but I don't think I can contribute positively to this conversation excuse.

what a d-bag
