Okay, please tell me why wanting to go out with someone who A. has a college degree and B. has career plans is snobby? Pretty much every post you've made on this thread identifies you as an elitist, classist snob. If I'm wrong, then why have so many other Freepers independently come to the same conclusion? But let's look at a particular example:
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...*snip*...I enjoy going to museums and concerts and other intellectual pursuits. I don't think that someone who flips burgers for a living would enjoy these things.
OK, how about a couple of questions...
Do you enjoy wine tasting, art museums, concerts and political lectures because they appeal to you personally, or because you were taught to do so in college?
Do you believe that "Army guys" are taught to enjoy camping and football during basic training, or maybe at the burger-flipping academy?
And finally, what do you think makes you "intellectual"?
"Do you enjoy wine tasting, art museums, concerts and political lectures because they appeal to you personally, or because you were taught to do so in college?"
Nope, that's just my personal likes; however, I did develop some of them in college. Frankly, I cannot stand hanging out in bars and found by the end of my freshman year of college that whole scene was really old. There was much more interesting things to do on campus.
"Do you believe that "Army guys" are taught to enjoy camping and football during basic training, or maybe at the burger-flipping academy? "
Probably class difference... A guy (or gal) from a working class background probably has different interests than I do. It isn't right or wrong (I'm sure that they think I'm an idiot because I don't like football); it's just the way the wind blows. People generally flock to people with similar backgrounds.
"And finally, what do you think makes you "intellectual"?" I enjoy intellectual pursuits, i.e. reading, foreign films, lectures, etc. This is different than saying I'm a Harvard professor.
