overcompensation.

It dawned upon me after listening to How Stuff Work's Stuff Mom Never Told You podcast (which I just stumbled upon recently and fell madly in love with) on male nurses that I realize why that dude was affectively displaying his overflowing of masculinity through the constant diversion of every simple conversations into indecent, borderline offensive sexual slur.

It happened in the last grad that I worked for Monash Club about 2 weeks ago. So there's this slightly matured (early 30s maybe) guy who's doing his masters in nursing upon the completion of Bachelors in paramedics in Monash that I met during that grad, aka my return to Monash Club in 2011 =)) Anyways, he was pretty fun at first as he understood the really lame innocent jokes I often throw... then he started getting a little weird by throwing jokes like getting high with a bong. That's still alright until he talked about turning me on and stuff... in a slightly less funny but more of a squint-eye in disbelief manner. Then he went on which some point I started to shut my mouth and smiled at him politely before cruising away to look busy doing something, somewhere else.

GOSH. I barely know you for 2 hours and don't think that we're at that juncture to talk about stuff like that... call me conservative but really... GOSH (imagine Napoleon Dynamite)... really?

I didn't put too much thought into it and till this evening it suddenly clicked. He could just be a boring ol'jerk who doesn't pay attention to what pours outa his traps OR there's a slight chance that he might be overcompensating for something... like... you know... studying nursing. Don't get me wrong, I do admire people with such aspiration to help others by being a nurse but maybe he's struggling with some image/identity issue that tagged along involuntarily with the course he chose?

if not, what would possess one to talk dirty dirty jokes to a near-stranger whom you just met moments ago, without being under the influence?
