"I didn't feel a connection at this chapter of 40 women" -- it was one of the few chapters that seemed more concerned about my daddy's income than my interests.

There is more than "I'm too good for ..."

Fixed your post.

33girl, the more you post-the more I enjoy reading the threads on GC. I'm glad I'm not the only person on this board that feels some of these women are being really ungrateful to the various chapters. I may be snarky about it but, I really like the way other GCers (and a few of them have already posted) have put what I'm thinking/ want to say in perspective.

"I didn't feel a connection" - Unicorns pooping rainbows didn't magically appear
"My heart didn't sing" - My mother has raised me to believe that I am a super special snowflake.

(I'm pregnant, cranky and uncomfortable. This is my new favorite thread.)

Thank you. I'd hardly know what to do if someone wasn't able to articulate what I didn't say.

When you only get to talk to 10 women out of 200, when you only get a total of 3 hours before choosing sisters for life, and when you've never done this before, you can in my eyes be forgiven for believing the chapters are like the 10 women you meet.

I'd ask if you had a stick up your ass about this, but I suspect it's a shotgun instead. Remove it, read the OP again, then post.

Really? So you have met a group of ten women before and had them all be exactly the same? Everyone? And you think it's reasonable for anyone to infer that a group of 200 women would all be carbon copies of one another? I'm glad you think women are so uncomplex that we can fit into just 17 categories.

If I go to three out of the 6 locations of Pamela's and they all have bad service and bad food, I will probably be able to accurately assess that Pamela's sucks.*

If I go to three out of the 32,000 locations of McDonald's and they suck, I'll probably be able to just as accurately assess that they were having a bad day, or have a bad manager. It certainly won't stop me from going to another McDonald's anywhere in the world.

*This example is completely false and only included for dramatic purposes. Pamela's RULES.
