"What are you listening to?"

"Dave, " she answers passing one headphone to her friend. They are not referring to me.

"This is amazing, stupendous, incredible !!" The are still not referring to me.

They then have a lovely conversation about the classical training and elite skill that Dave Navarro has.

I sigh with as much elitist snobbishness as I can muster. And then the conversation gets interesting.

Girl 2 had dinner with a friend where they discussed "ideas". There seemed to be a great focus on proper networking in this social circle. But the dining pair shared gossip as well, revealing that the ex-BF of Girl 2 had not had a date since they broke up.

"I only dated him to get outside of my comfort zone. He was soooo not my type. He just did not accomplish anything. He was the nicest guy but sooooo boring."

Once again, it is affirmed to me that the only way to get ahead in the dating world is to be an asshole. Thank the million gawds I don't have to date. February 06 08
