Clever girl! Too clever for men. She just needs a smarter man . . . who is looking for a political debate on the first date.
Becca Porter, who graduated last year from Manchester University with a joint honours degree in history and sociology, and is now starting a masters in disability studies . . . ‘At school I wasn’t bothered about boys, but I’m at the stage where I’d like to share my life with someone.’ . . . Her longest relationship was with a car mechanic from Burnley last year. It lasted a few weeks. ‘He thought I viewed myself as a big shot,’ says Becca, who admits she found him ‘monosyllabic’. ‘Our conversations were mundane. When I tried to start an informed discussion — about religion or terrorism, for example — he had no idea how to react.
Again, a clever woman! What man doesn't go on a date to talk about terrorism with a woman who wants to share her life - and does that ever become a two-way street where she is interested in his life too?
Andrea Gould, 41, from Frinton-on-Sea, Essex, has two degrees and says her intellect has prevented her from finding love and having the family she longed for . . . studied English and German at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, then social policy . . . ‘Since then I’ve used online dating and tried to date only those who specified a similar level of education on their profile,’ she says. ‘But we had nothing in common. Men think I’m too serious. I want to talk about psychology and literature.
A third clever woman! I cannot imagine why she's not married.
Politics, terrorism, and psychology as dating conversation for a first date? Has it occurred to these women that talking about the abstract is a great way to avoid revealing who you are. Most men want to know who they are spending time with before stepping into prickly political topics.
I actually would talk about some of that... except the first one. But probably not on a first date... thats a bit deep.... esp me being monosyllabic and all...
