Help The Man Children
Why not help man children stay man children? A lot of companies in the Bay Area have great perks like free breakfast, lunch, dinner, and all the snacks you can eat with or without vomiting. Employees can wear whatever they want including baseball caps, sweats, flip flops, shorts, etc. At Google in Mountain View, employees don't even have to do their own laundry, wash their own cars, etc. With all these perks, it's no wonder that these guys are children...they aren't tasked to take care of themselves!

I went to an event over the weekend in the suburbs where I saw many professional married men with small children. I couldn't help but feel sad and wonder where I was when these men were single and dating. :-/
ReplyDeleteSigh, yeah...did you find out how these men found their ladies?
DeleteNo, I was too busy being jealous of the women. :-/
DeleteEvery time I meet a couple, I end up attacking them with "So, how did you two meet?" Lol. Unfortunately 95% fall into the categories of: another state, college, grad school, work, etc. Less than 5% met in SF! Of those that met in SF, one couple said CL, one couple said eHarmony, one couple said work, one couple said meetup, and another couple said through friends
DeleteLikewise, most people meet in college, grad school, or work. I was too fat in college, business school was hookups and drama, and my coworkers are mostly women and gay men.
DeleteOur workplaces sound very similar!
DeleteYeah. It just makes me mad because of instead of studying back in the day I should have been dating.
ReplyDeleteSame here :(
DeleteYeah, it all seems like the world down here is designed specifically to perpetuating infantilism. I can only hope that something of a cosmical significance happens to stop this, otherwise I'm moving.
ReplyDeleteWhat cities are at the top of your list and what's your timeline? I'm always looking for ideas... :)
DeleteNew York and Chicago. New York is my choice #1 because the pace and the atmosphere feels like home. But Chicago is a cheaper alternative. I traveled there this September and felt like people were more genuine and less preoccupied with saving the world and recycling and more into human interaction.
ReplyDeleteChicago! :) I'm from there and Midwesterners are different than Californians - more polite, the men are more traditional i.e. ask you out, buy you drinks.
DeleteI wish I moved to Chicago several years ago. It's a great city and the people there are much nicer. Agree with urban dreamer. Making that move is the big step though...
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to think I should really take a trip to Chicago and check it out
DeleteWhat would you do if you are chatting with a guy online and you are having difficulty coordinating schedules to meet up and you tentatively have a day to meet up, but then he flakes on you because of "work related" issues? Would you give that guy another chance or write him off as not interested and flaky?
ReplyDeleteHmm, depends on 1) what time of the day he flaked and 2) when he flaked, did he seem apologetic and try to reschedule?
DeleteWell he flaked 5 days in advance and wanted to hang out after he gets back from his business trip. I never responded.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't consider 5 days in advance "flaking" - I'd give him another shot, but that's just me :)
DeleteYou are right, rescheduling a first date is no good. I'd prob very cautiously (as in have 0 expectation that we would actually meet up) agree to a resched, but if he tried to resched again, then no
