A local man with a distinct inability to interpret social cues, and gnawing insecurities, has finally managed to woo a member of the opposite sex this week.
Justin Masters (32) a banker from the Ponds, managed to achieve the feat during his weekly social mixed touch game by stepping on the outside of the woman defending him on the wing and using his pace to leave her in his tracks down the sideline.
Georgia Crowe (25) told The Advocate that she was absolutely bowled over by Robertson’s display of athletic prowess.
“That was incredibly attractive. The way he used his physical superiority and speed to run around me in our reasonably relaxed social mixed touch comp, was certainly arousing,” she said.
However, unlike Crowe, no one else on her team was particularly impressed by what is generally regarded as a bit of a faux pas.
Indigo Camp (24), a team member who shouted; “Oh yeah, well-done champ, real good” as Robertson sped off down the sideline, explained to our reporters that it’s considered a bit of a no-no for blokes to burn girls on the sidelines.
“It’s social, mixed, touch. You just don’t do it. Fair enough through the middle or running a line on the fringes, but the speed on the outside thing just isn’t cricket. Old mate can jog on,” she said.
“I think the best thing to do when something like that happens is to clap loudly and congratulate them in an aggressive manner.”
We questioned about the event Masters informed us that he couldn’t care less about the faux pas.
“They are probably the same people crowing about equal rights and gender equality. I’m showing my support for gender equality by sprinting past her like I would (if I could) to a man,” he said.
