Wow…this really just strengthens my resolve against the superficiality of society.

It makes me feel sick just knowing someone is this shallow…and that is no figure of speech. My stomach is actually turning right now!

Heh, found your amusing article through Stumble Upon.

I’m a champagne girl but the only difference is that I’ll eat the food with gusto!

[...] My sister says that I should just play by the rules, but that easy for her to say. She doesn’t have to play by the rules since she has a built free pass to the whole thing: a kid in a car seat. It’s nothing more than a huge carpooling loophole. The tree huggers championed carpool lanes to take cars off the road, not to give my sister a free ride in the carpool lane to get her kid to daycare or go shopping. It pisses me off not so much that she has found a loophole, but that she has found one that I can’t exploit as well, at least for the time being. [...]

you’re never going to find what you want as long as you divide women (or men) into “beer” and “champagne”. you weren’t honest with yourself, and got what you deserved, or maybe expected.

good luck!

Great post man, I’m glad you said that to her because she needs to realize that in a relationship she is not the only one that needs to be respected.

Interesting story. Thinking about it, I would hope that in a similar situation, I would talk with the girl about the situation rather than confront it with the brute force you described.

It’s one thing to toss a date off but it’s another to preface a relationship (no matter how short) with this level of candor. Engaging someone in this manner says as much about how you will solve your problems in future relationships as it does about the shallowness “Champagne Girl” demonstrated.

I think this story is a little made up you can clearly see through the bcrap. Interesting story but the truth is sometimes way more interesting. Also it’s kind of a tool bag move on the guy to try and be something you’re not. This girl might have been a bitch but you didn’t make matters better by being fake. You did one of the stupidest things you can do on a first date as a male which is take yourself out of your element.

BG,
Great story! A good cautionary tale. You didn’t have a date, you were simply being interviewed, and you flunked every test, just as I would have.

It’s easy to forget that when trying to just go out with someone and have a good time.

This is the kind of vetting procedure that was codified in The Rules, I think the book was called. And I am instinctively repulsed by this type of woman, as I know that they detest me based on my lack of independent wealth, whatever my other merits may be.

Dating can be a war, and you won this round. Congrats!
