Aren't you special
- defrost 3y agoNot particularly .. why do you think that? As stated above, first dates at resturants, etc aren't for everybody.
- arcticfox 3y agoNo one cares > He was “funny, romantic, the most sensitive man I’ve ever met,” Wainscott later told the Charlotte Observer. “The guy that every girl would want.” Then they started having dinners at Red Lobster - presumably that’s what she wanted, and a popular preference? Who cares if other people prefer free diving?
- defrost 3y agoThe conversation moved on from TFA, eg: > I'm not entirely convinced that dinners at Red Lobster are what "every girl wants". https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40233023 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40233023 cares.
- kelnos 2y agoYes, and that commenter sounds like a snobby elitist douchebag. I know we're not supposed to go for the ad hominem, but I'm honestly not sure that comment warrants anything better.
- tacocataco 3y agoA coffee or beer can be slammed quickly compared to waiting for and eating a meal. Sometimes you wanna get out asap.
- greenish_shores 3y agoYeah, you know, sometimes HN really surprises me with the stances people have on dating. I remember reading someone saying literally "it's just not possible to find a good-looking girlfriend before graduating college". I was like, what? This statement offends the whole humanity, and also offends me as a man. And yeah, I care to explain why. It's just basically a more covert way of saying that "all women are, err, for the lack of better term, golddiggers, and all men want a partner who will offer them no more than sex". I sure get the evolutionary take on mate selection but even if one really understands it, one will know that the reality is much more complex that that.
