Cheetos and Walking Women to the Car

Hmmm… I’m looking at a bag of Cheetos right now and am puzzled by something…  On the bag, right next to the impossibly disproportional cartoon cheetah riding what appears to be a mountain bike, is the label “dangerously cheesy.”  What does this mean?  How can ANYTHING be dangerously cheesy?  I mean besides Tom Yoo… hehehe.  I mean,  I guess you could be violently lactose intolerant, but even then… here it says that it’s a “cheese FLAVORED snack” so there’s probably no actual cheese in it.

Oh well, this is my brainless post for the day.

Oh, one more thing… someone asked me to explain why guys feel the need to walk women either to their car or home after dark even though it’s not that far or all that dangerous.  It’s not always what you think… it’s not that the guy is interested in the girl.  In the same way many women have a “nurturing” instinct – especially when it comes to children, guys have a just as strong “protecting” instinct.  We can’t help it.  It’s in our blood.  Now, I know when women refuse the guy from doing this, they are just trying to not be a bother (or maybe not give the guy the wrong idea if she’s not interested).  But it’s really not a bother to the guy usually.  In fact, by refusing you’re almost saying that he’s not really up for the task of protecting you (real threat or not).  It would be the same if some mother who may or not need help with their child would rather you not hold her child… inside you’d be thinking “does she not think I can nurture this child?” 

And here’s the kicker.  Regardless of how safe the neighborhood is, if the woman insists on going alone, inside the guy is thinking… “If something happens to her, it will almost be like it’s MY fault for not being there to protect her.”  Irrational as it may sound.  So think about this the next time a guy offers to walk you to your car.  Don’t necessarily jump to the conclusion he’s interested in you and don’t be so quick (or adamant) to refuse.

  1. aww.. that’s really sweet. i guess it doesn’t make it so special anymore then.. if the girl just carried some pepper spray or a 800,000volt taser then he wont have to be worried about being responsible for her..

  2. also the dangerously cheesy thing.. i think it was just an attempt to make it seem like its MOORE cheeeeeesier than the OTHER very cheesy snacks out there.. to boost it’s sales. but it works! i like the “dangerously cheesy” better than just plain old “cheesy”. Also with Goldfish (the snacks) they have just plain “pizza flavored” goldfish.. but they have a new line called FLAVOR BLASTED goldfish.. and they’re trul flavor blasting. I can taste the difference! so Maybe dangerously cheesy really does make a difference, even if it’s not Real cheese… will you even be reading this? I am replying to your entry two years after you posted it.. hehehe
