dressed to the nines

I had the pleasure experience of accompanying my boyfriend to a formal dinner party last night.  As I danced the night away with my girlfriends, he sipped cocktails and argued with his "bros" over who looked best in a suit and tie.  Needless to say, those cocktails caught up to him fairly quickly.  When friends asked about the whereabouts of my lovely counterpart, I begrudgingly pointing to the winner in the center of the room who was provoking dance-offs with strangers.  I thought we were in the clear when the clock struck twelve and our carriage (a.k.a sketchy NYC car service) showed up to whisk us away.  As my boyfriend strutted out the door with an unwarranted confidence, I realized that I was wrong.

 

Takeaway:  Sometimes silent gratification is all we need, ladies.  If he strategically changes terminology to admit the mistakes that you've already pointed out, it means that he knows he was wrong but can't admit it.  Score one for Team Estrogen.
