As it was found out, girls aspire to take with themselves girlfriends-bodyguards who always can fasten acquaintance, support conversation with the man, or get rid of the undesirable acquaintance. In this case, such friends must certainly be outwardly ugly. According to a new study conducted by the alcohol company Lambrini, the ideal candidate for a friend should be fun, friendly, but not at the same time unsympathetic. 50% of the girls surveyed at all reported that they deliberately choose to accompany the ugly girl friends in order to look attractive against their background.
40% of the women interviewed take a girlfriend just to help her to start a conversation with a new acquaintance. And in the event that the meeting does not go as planned, it is this faithful companion and guardian angel who is responsible for coming to the rescue. The secret phrase "SOS" between friends was the most popular way to get rid of boring guys (45%), and on the second place was the excuse that you need to go to the restroom (29%). One-third of the girls admitted that they have a certain signal, which indicates that it's time to get rid of the unsympathetic bridegroom.
But not always everything goes according to plan, and every seventh girl a man, a new friend, catches on using these secret codes, which are used to get rid of boring dates. Everyone knows that the modern dating scene is a minefield, and we all need support if we want to find a prince. Earlier, the presence of his own bodyguard was more likely to be in men, but now women have realized that this is a good idea. And now the meeting was not only safe, but also much more effective, if you want to escape from an annoying acquaintance.
