First signs of a bad first date

[agzg]

I would imagine that some of the guys who wear the software company logo shirts are trying to imply that they're wealthy (and work for an uber successful tech company like Microsoft, Google, or Apple). Tech guys love to show that shit off.

LOL. Too bad they're making the exact opposite impression (geek who doesn't know how to dress and has to rely on the company to get him appropriate clothes).

You've seen CMU grads when they get together, right? It's the nerd equivalent of a yellow ferrari.

^^^^hahahahahahaha. Things I do not miss seeing having moved further east.

I've got another one. If you characterize Dave & Buster's as "fun," you ain't even getting a first date.

I have yet to go to a D&B (I think the closest one is 2 hours away) but if it is like the commercials, it is pretty much my idea of heaven. I am all about a Chuck E Cheese for adults.

Bad first date for me: repeated name dropping, obvious attempts to make sure the flashy name brand watch was visible at all times, surprise when I ordered steak. Not my scene.

A couple of years ago, my mom (married, in her 50's) went to a bar with her (then recently divorced) friend. This bar happened to be filled with men in their 40's and 50's seemingly trying to hook-up with women a few decades younger, which sort of creeped her out to begin with. Anyway, she saw a man wearing a shirt with the logo of the large company my dad had worked for for many years. She mentioned that her husband had worked for the company and asked what the man did there. His response? "Oh, I don't work there. I just wear the shirt." She was even more creeped out after that.

Yeah, see, there's nothing special or unique about that in this area. Microsoft is the second or third biggest corporate employer in the state, and Google and other tech companies have offices/campuses here, too. Tech guys are a dime a dozen here, to the point where it was refreshing to meet a guy who didn't work for Microsoft or another tech company. What's funny about it is that most of the MS guys I went on dates with (when I was single) were actually contracters, as MANY tech company employees are, and therefore were not actually employees of Microsoft.
