And was she also a marketing major? A bad mix for you. You are dating from the wrong pool of women. Maybe start trolling at Comic Con? Or maybe Sturgis? Probably not a lot of sorority girls there.
No, an elementary education/liberal arts major. Thanks for the insult, since you epitomize being "with it." I've never even watched a complete episode of "Star Trek," so you've got the wrong trolling formula. Ethnic, first-gen women who are attorneys or CPAs can spend an entire day with me on a road trip, and who can run circles around her in every way except for maybe her more peaches and cream look. Kind of sad that this is her only asset, right? (I don't think she could have handled marketing as a major - that would have involved an errant accounting and finance class to round things out - that's why we have smart girls like YOU).
BTW, hon, on an external level, I look right at home on the airport concourse, a concept we've "discussed" before. However, on the inside, I'm not that much of a sell-out. I have principles. You've got the wrong read, altogether.
Look, from you I'll take it with a grain of salt, since you are the most defensive poster on Relationships about your child and your lack of a husband. As new as you are, that seems to be your mantra.
Haha I'm not defensive but the uk is alot more open minded than the us, my situation is perfectly normal here thanks and as for the husband part seriously? I do not want to date but if i did I'm sure I'd do alot better than you. Insulting my dates family? Lol clearly not something a decent human being would do it's pretty stupid

Please stuff the UK stuff, because it doesn't have anything to do with the equation. Nothing. The problem in this one is you: saying you would not date someone is NOT an insult ... it's a personal preference to which one is entitled.
Hey now!?! What's wrong with marketing majors?!? I missed that part!
Well, my product and packaging must have done me some good because I was able to seal the deal.
Nothing. It's complicated. And it's an issue between me and the broad from Chicago.
There are some who think they are all that and have learned nothing. There are also some who can talk about everything, since part of that training involves psychological insight and creative thinking. While in college, I was friends with a few marketing majors, and they were among the most fun people.

You really took that the wrong way, hon. I was referring to your obvious distaste for the "rich sorority girl" types, it was not about your personality. I was trying to think of places where it would be less likely for you to meet sorority girls. I could care less whether you like Star Trek or caviar! I am just trying to help another paisano. I have family members who sound like you.
BTW, I can look right at home in a wool suit on the concourse or in leather on my motorcycle. Don't you think you tend to stereotype peaches and cream sorority girls on an external level before getting to know whether they're a "sell-out" on the inside? "Sorority" may be only a small footnote of a woman's history, but you seem to want to use it to exclude prospects.
Same people. I've told this story before, but got NO answers. So NOW, I am soliciting answers.
I went on a date with a woman I grew up with who was widowed at 33. She never had kids when married and I don't believe she could have them due to some health issues.
She asked about dating and this and that, and I said "I haven't dated single moms. Eh, I don't think I'd have that much in common with them." She retorts "Oh, REAALLLY." Her sister, a veritable Suzie Sorority (in fact, her sister's name WAS Suzie) had married a guy from college, and they set up a household in a nice part of Orange County where he worked, had two kids, and then divorced - then on to living with her two kids.
The date went downhill. When we got to the restaurant, she said "I'll pay. You paid last time." I said "Sure." I knew it was the end of the line. (I would have had a great last laugh if I left her at the restaurant, having her Daddy come fetch her).
At any rate, why would this anger a childless woman (who to date has never had a child) in this manner? I'd like to hear from both women and men.
Is there more to the conversation other than you telling her you simply don't have much in common with single mothers? That statement alone wouldn't phase me in the least. I don't see what there is to get upset about. Maybe she was just sensitive to the fact that her sister is a divorced mom and maybe isn't getting dates? Not even sure why she brought her sister into the converstion. What was the comparison between you and having things in common with her sister who has kids?
And come to think of it, I have never had a good date with a sorority girl. I'm not checklist conforming enough for them once they scrape beyond the initial appearance. Their whole "premise" is that you have to pass muster with their sisters, even when they're 40 and they couldn't locate over half of their sisters! I thought she would have grown past that, but she hadn't.
Like everything else, not all sorority girls are cut from the same cloth. Shocking as it may sound, I've never once paraded a man in front of my sisters for a consultation as to his worthiness. Don't plan to in the future either.
You really took that the wrong way, hon. I was referring to your obvious distaste for the "rich sorority girl" types, it was not about your personality. I could care less whether you like Star Trek or caviar! I am just trying to help another paean. I have family members who sound like you.

She wasn't rich. She was middle class. As for help, this is water under the bridge. I'm trying to figure out why she first married someone her Dad hated ... and then married someone almost old enough to be her Dad, and not rich. Her Dad liked me, so go figure.
I said I'm not a sell-out.
She didn't sell out to anything. She's always been a simpleton. Her sophistication level never morphed, for having grown up in metro LA and gone to college in that area. I branched out, going to check out NY and Miami and feeling overwhelmed, and then other continents. Yes, I detest phony people. I have spent time hanging out with the most local of locals in Europe, just out of random chance, one time finding a litter of puppies on a trail behind some houses, and what I've studied or did never came into the equation. I would have much rather hung out with these locals than with those who have a convertible Saab and 80 Euro hair appointments, like you would see on Passeig de Gracia in Barcelona. My parents did not like phony people. They could see right through people. I learned it from them.

Broad? You crack me up, L.A. You are like an annoying Italian brother.
