We gonna get us some pussy tonight!&#8221; It turned out that the huge guy was a football player in town for a game; he happened to be coked up. The young guy was initially a little shocked, and wasn&#8217;t even sure at first that the football player wasn&#8217;t somehow hitting on him (he wasn&#8217;t). But he remembered the compliment, and felt good about it later.<\/p>\n<p>This same young guy once wandered, semi-drunk, into a nightclub in New York City by himself. He chatted briefly with the bouncer, a huge black man, then made his way in. When he emerged an hour or two later with a girl, the bouncer said to him, &#8220;I knew you wouldn&#8217;t be leaving alone.&#8221; The young guy later said it was one of the highest compliments he had ever been paid.<\/p>\n<p>Another young guy, a connoisseur of strip clubs, once told me that white strippers will all give the same few rote compliments in hopes of a better tip. They&#8217;ll either say, you&#8217;re cute, or, you&#8217;re not like the rest of the guys who come in here, or something to that effect. But he had been to a club recently where he&#8217;d chatted with a black stripper, and she had told him, &#8220;You have the eyes of a killer.&#8221; The young man, who prides himself on his toughness, was extremely flattered by this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This black chick told me, &#8220;I like your yarmulke.&#8221; No white chick has said this to me.
