Ok, I did not want to get in the middle of this, nor am I taking sides, but I will tell about my experiences with Laz.
I have known Laz for several years now. Yes, he knows sometimes he annoys the fuck out of me because he has always tried to knock sense into me when I have made some stupid decisions in the past (but not literally, don't go thinking he beats people or anything! LOL) But what I can say about him time wasting at the socials is, who doesn't waste time there? I mean, I don't recall getting more than maybe 5 appointments from meeting people at the socials in the 5 or more years Ive attended. I always figured I just was not for them, so I was never offended. Really, I was just there to party!
As for Laz, everyone who has been around long enough knows he is on a budget. He has bartered with a couple girls for printers he gets with points at a store. Every blue moon he will book an appt with the girl he wants to see most. That's his decision to make. You get the picture?
Now, to say he just stands around waiting for girls to get drunk because he wants to take advantage, is a bit much. Laz has had plenty of opportunities to take advantage of me when I was drunk and he did not. And trust me when I say, I can be really convincing when Im tipsy. LOL He is very flirty and you know that from the moment you meet him. If that bothers you, then avoid him. It's that easy. Also, plenty of people have asked me if I need a ride after a social, but I don't think that necessarily makes them a bad guy.
I had a guy ask me about dinner last week and I asked if he just wanted dinner or an actual 5 hr dinner date/dessert etc (u know what I mean) that is on my showcase. I make sure to do that, always. Hey, sometimes, I just wanna go out to eat/drink for free! But Im not going home with ya! LOL
If anything, I have taken advantage of Laz.
"Take me here, Laz!"
"I need this, Laz."
"Help me with my homework, Laz!"
"Send me a pizza, Laz."
"I wanna go out, Laz!"
"Bring me your movies, Laz!"
"Take me to the dr, Laz!"
"Take me to buy my meds, Laz!"
I am all kinds of needy if we are friends! LOL And let's be honest, there are quite a few people that have formed friendships here over the years. And yes, I have a car, I just really hate driving!
So, I was not there for the past yr where some people claim Laz does all kinds of things, but I thought I should speak up on what I do know about him and the way he is with me and what I have observed when I have been around.
