This episode went down a few months ago and provided at good laugh but also left me more than a little pissed off. Here's the deal...a dude FLAT OUT rejected me because I live "outside the perimeter". This is basically snob slang for "living in the burbs". Up until now I've had a few guys ask me why I live "all the way out there" as if it's a country code away, not a zip code...I believe this was mentioned in an earlier post. But to be cast aside like some dirty poor beggar not good enough to shine his mighty shoes!? Yeah, I was more than a little offended.
Let's Dissect...
First off, I'm FROM here. I grew up in these 'ere 'burbs. My stomping ground. My family has lived in the same house for 17 years. Second, his rejection implies that ALL women from the 'burbs are somehow not worthy, are defective or are in one way or another un-dateable. And THIRD, this seems like a stupid reason to reject someone. Good reasons are: married, has children or other baggage, criminal records...etc. If this guy had taken the time he would have found out that I have lived other places.
Now part of the reason that I'm so riled up about this snobbery is that I KNOW it's not isolated to this one douchebag guy. This is just the first time it's happened to ME. Now, while I can fully appreciate the Universe directing this particular bullet in someone else's direction (the poor ITP chick who ends up with ITP Snob guy) I do not appreciate being rejected in such and arbitrary way. If he's not attracted to me, that's not really a problem for me but I do hope he catches some kind of fungus from a classy, pristine ITP chick.
