O poder de pagar a conta do jantar romântico

Tiozinho do acordeon depois que o casal desta crônica se retira.Trés-romantic

Era um jantar romântico, daqueles de sedução e conquista, ali no “La Tartine”, bistrô do bairro da Consolação, SP.

Tudo lindo. Tiozinho do acordeon mandando uma chanson. A moça fina, moderna e elegante como uma legítima paulistana, discorria sobre cinema.

O rapaz, uns 35 anos, gênero executivo, mais mudo do que o francês do filme “O Artista”.

Só notei que tinha voz quando veio a conta. O cara queria pagar tudo e ficou bravo porque a moça já havia ordenado a um dos garçons gêmeos que faturasse no seu cartão de crédito.

Phyna! E fez tudo na buena, sem exibicionismo.

No que lembrei, na mesa ao lado, de um velho conselho do guru P.J.O’Rourke, no livro “Etiqueta Moderna –finas maneiras para gente grossa”, tradução do jornalista Aran, editora. Conrad:

“Quando você vai ao encontro de um homem é perfeitamente aceitável que você deixe claro que trabalha mais duro, é mais bem sucedida e ganha muito mais do que ele.

Mas você deve levar em consideração que ele precisa manter algum respeito próprio. Devido a isso, não importa o quanto você ganhe, permita que ele pague todas as contas.”

Por favor, amiga, é o que nos resta de autoestima. Pelo menos nos primeiros encontros.

Depois, tudo bem, verás que a minha insolvência civil está decretada, que fiques à vontade para torrar esse farto cartão de crédito.

No começo, não, dai-nos, santas, esse último prazer do orgulho macho. Imploramos.

Na prática, este cronista envelhecido em barris de bálsamo, já testemunhou de tudo nessa matéria.

Machão que se sente ofendido quando a dama propõe a dividir, por exemplo.

Feminista dando escândalo porque o cara quis fazer bonito e pagou a conta sem que ele sequer fosse consultada.

Assim como vi também amigas queixosas de homens mãos-de-vaca, muquiranas, que propuseram o racha.

Caro guru P.J.O’Rourke, a sua proposta é bem decente e reflete a nossa inutilidade como machos contemporâneos. Não há, porém, um código de etiqueta fechado para o assunto.

Na dúvida, podem pedir também o veredito do ladrão, essa criatura tão invasiva hoje em dia nos românticos arrastões dos restaurantes paulistanos.

Junto com nossos generosos leitores, porém, devemos chegar ao bom senso para tal prática. Quem, e em que circunstância, paga a conta?

    I usually do not leave a leave a response, but after reading through some of the remarks on this page Folha de S.Paulo – Blogs – O poder de pagar a conta do jantar romГўntico | Xico SГЎ. I do have some questions for you if you tend not to mind. Is it only me or do a few of these comments come across as if they are coming from brain dead folks? 😛 And, if you are posting at additional social sites, I’d like to follow you. Would you make a list of every one of your public sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?|I drop a leave a response when I especially enjoy a post on a website or I have something to contribute to the discussion.

Is it just me or do a few of the responses appear like they are written by brain dead individuals? 😛 And, if you are writing at other places, I would like to follow you.

    Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

    of course like your web site however you need to take a look at the spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I in finding it very bothersome to inform the truth then again I’ll certainly come back again.

    I have been surfing online greater than 3 hours these days, yet I by no means discovered any interesting article like yours. Itˇs pretty value enough for me. Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet shall be a lot more helpful than ever before.
