Stupid IT Guy
So I go into work this morning...and the IT guy comes to my office to chit chat. I'm sure he means well and was really trying to pay me a compliment but I didn't take it that way at all.
So, anyways, we're talking about my upcoming trip to Vancouver and that I was going back for a wedding...he then goes and asks, "Don't all your friends keep asking you why you don't have a bf or when are you getting married?". I couldn't believe the question. Then he tries to fix it by, "Well, I'm just saying that you're an attrative girl and you are almost 30, shouldn't you be in a relationship at least?". The nerve of the guy! I gave him such a ear full. Why does society make it seem like, if you're a woman and not married or in a relationship at the age of 30 it's all over for you. This is soooo old school thinking. I know not everyone thinks like this...but I really thought we were making a lot of progress in society and these images of the woman getting old and having to get married had escaped the majority of the population. This was especially so after the TV break through of Sex and the City and them advertising 30 something year olds not married and having a career. I'm not saying that I'm not looking for a relationship...it would be great to have one...but it's not everything. I'm not going to be one of those girls that are in a relationship just for the sake of being in a relationship. Some people are really lucky and find their perfect match at a young age while others actually never find them at all. I'm not going to settle for just any guy...he better be my Mr. Perfect.

That IT guy sounds like a complete dork. Since I know a little history of him I could see he was aiming for you to pick up on the "you're an attractive girl" and not the.. (is there something wrong with you? why are you pretty and single? ) LOL. If that happened to me I'd be tempted to leap out of my desk and kick him just like that Trinity chick in the Matrix did. Fo**er.
So did you nail him?
What's that guy thinking??? You're pretty?? hahaha... :P

So seriously. What's wrong with you that you don't have someone? Hahaha ... just kidding. [sidestepping the Matrix kick]
Yeah, society is still leaning on the "defective if still single" side of things, which is just silly. And yet, a lot of people are like that because THEY want to be in a relationship and if they can't find one, feel like THEY are defective (self-esteem issues).
Do not be fooled. Single people are fun too. And not always defective. (Though truthfully, some are.)
i think he was trying to ask you out, so he can hide his salami in you - weeber
here's the unfair part. Society deems it acceptable for men to be bachelors well into their 40s if not for life. While women become old maids if single at 30. It's the symptom of our patriarchal society... hopefully we'll continue to grow out of this mentality.
it's impossible to grow out of this mentality. young girls are hot, old girls are not.
au contraire. i have this guy friend who finds 30somethings really hot as compared to 20somethings.
according to him, 30somethings have a career, know what they want, are more confident, more poise and the list goes on...
i'm in my 20s, so i was a bit miffed by his remark; but i concede that he's right actually. So cheer up, ya? ;)
That's cuz that guy friend can't score with the 20 year olds.
