"Disgusting sentiments but seeing that you're quite the snob, not surprising in the least."
I'm just pointing out the obvious; I don't have anything in common with a guy who works in a low skill job. Why would I go out with one...
"Tell me, what's your opinion of those Marines and soldiers out on patrol in Baghdad right now? Most of them don't have college degrees."
I'd hope that most of them are working on their college degrees or are going to get their degrees after they leave. It's subsidized by the U.S. army, so it would be not smart not to...
"Most of them don't have college degrees. They all get paid squat. Judging from your comments and attitude you wouldn't even give them the time of day; guys who exhibit bravery, courage and patriotism on a daily basis. But since their pay checks don't have enough zeros, they suck. Perhaps its a blessing in disguise though. Would they so readily put their lives on line knowing it was for women like you who thought so low of them?"
Yes and I admire them for it... That doesn't mean that I want to date them however. If I went out with a soldier especially an enlisted man, I'd probably have nothing in common with him. I don't know many Army guys who enjoy wine tasting, art museums, and political lectures, all hobbies of mine. And I really don't enjoy camping or watching football (except perhaps watching Notre Dame lose). Moreover, I do want a man who contributes to the household; I'm sorry that's the way things are. I'm sure that soldiers are "prime catches" for another catch of girls, but for those of us working toward our graduate degrees, they really are not our type...
It's strange that folks have such a hard time accepting the basic fact that people, in general, seek partners who share their outlook on life.
Your attitude is matched only by your ignorance and self centeredness. Where to begin?
"I don't have anything in common with a guy who works in a low skill job."
Yeah. Operating and repairing 21st century military technology sure is simple. Why, any idiot off the street can do it. And doing it all under fire is a breeze. (sarcasm off) Something tells me even a little Miss Perfect with an MBA such as yourself wouldn't be able to perform even close to what those "losers" who signed can. But what does that matter? You already know soooo much about our armed forces and how they're populated by the brain dead.

More idiotic generalizations. Tell me, have you even MET anyone from the military? Judging from the snide tone, I somehow doubt it. Those who serve are broad cross section of this country and are diverse both in ethnicities, education levels and their interests. But to certain schmucks, those in uniform are just a bunch of red neck sports fan hollerin for more beers who can barely read.
"those of us working toward our graduate degrees, they really are not our type"
With a pompous odor like that, how could ANY guy pass YOU up - rolls eyes -
You THINK you'd have nothing in common with them. How many members of the military have you actually met or deigned to talk to? Please continue to feel that way. The rest of us who know better will steer nicer young ladies toward our brave soldiers.

Speak for yourself, honey.
