Researcher: How often, would you say, that you are rejected by men?
Woman: What? Where'd that come from? Do I look like a person to get rejected a lot to you, or somethin'?
Researcher: No, ma'am. Please, just answer the question.
Woman: Do I get rejected a lot? Nah... Nah, I can definitively say, 'Nah,' I don't. I don't get rejected...
(Pause)
Woman: Okay, well.. Yeah, I do, on occassion, but doesn't everyone? I mean, I'm not God, or something... Or even Tyra, for that mattuh! (Snorts while giggling)
Researcher: Shall we move onto the next question? Are you satisfied with your last response?
Woman: Should I not be? Do I not sound like I'm being honest? (Getting flustered) Okay, yeah, I'm not really the dating type, big deal! But that don't automatically mean that I get rejected... You know, I'm attractive... I can get a date - if I really want to! Yeah... Yeah, I can.
(Another pause)
Woman: Alright, I get rejected more than I get asked out, happy? My mutha says I come on too strong, whateva. I still get asked out, I'll have you know.
Researcher: Ma'am? Shall we move onto the next question?
Woman: (Growing increasingly frustrated) Okay, what kind of a timeline are we talkin' about, here? I mean, if you're talkin' about... say... the last three years, yeah, I haven't really been datin', you know? These things happen! But before that? Yeah, yeah I was a dating machine! A sex kitten, if you know what I mean. (More laughter and then a pause) Alright, no, I don't date. Alright? You happy? You dragged it outta me, got what you wanted. Can we move on, now??
Researcher: Of course, ma'am. Let's move to the next question.
Woman: (Breathing out heavily while rolling eyes) Thank you. Finally.
