    I confess that yesterday I was in a car accident (for those that aren't on my FL and don't know) but that Rufio and I are okay. Also esurance is amazing and I am going to recommend them to anyone who ever needs a decent car insurance company that is also affordable.

    Glad to hear you are ok!!! :) Hope the car gets fixed soon!

    I confess that I have way to much going on in my singles life that I don't know if I could fit in a boyfriend. I don't think I have a free night until Easter from today on.

    I confess I had four dates last week with women I met online. Two were first dates and two were second dates. Unfortunately, the natural progression didn't work as there seems to be mutual interest with three of them. The fourth, whom I thought was boring and weird, sent me this response to a message that I didn't feel a connection and wished her well.

    That's ok. I'm a demisexual sapiophile so I certainly understand.

    I think this was either an attempt to insult me by saying I wasn't smart enough for her to be interested in me anyway or she was telling me that I made a mistake because she likes to screw smart guys and I am missing out. I guess, since I can't figure it out, it's probably the former.

    Funny....I'd just call her a b*tch... :laugh:

    I mean, there are men I've wanted to say mean things to. But, after a first or second date, I would nicely give a reason for not continuing the process. Anywho...

    Do either of you (or anyone else for that matter) have any idea what that response means?

    She was a bore. All she talked about was her job. She does something in the cardiac nursing field. I was too bored to really pay attention. At one point, I asked her what else she does besides work. She said she liked to hike and walk and then started talking about how good it is for the heart and went right back into talking about work. I had an hour for lunch but about 25 minutes in, I finished eating and told her I needed to get back to work.

    Eck... I try to avoid talking about work as much as possible during the first date. Yes, I like to know that he has a job. But, I am a firm believer that work should stay at work. A first date should be about getting to know each other and should not be a job interview... Too many men have come in trying to impress me with their work creds... sorry, but dealbreaker. I want to know that you have a life outside of your job.

    ETA - Yes, it is important to enjoy your job and I don't mind talking about it. But, I think that should come later (same philosophy on kids). Get to know each other first....

    I'm going to be completely useless this week at work since I'm leaving for Vegas on Thursday. I also just bought a car and I'm supposed to pick it up today. Tough to concentrate.

    Are you going to Vegas because of March Madness or is that an added bonus?

    Bachelor party is the main reason, be most of us are big college bball fans so I think they planned it that way on purpose. Most of us are Michigan State alums, too bad they play on Thursday before we get there, but at least we get to watch them Saturday (hopefully).

    I think she's just trying to seem more smart than she is in an attempt to burn you. My guess is she probably doesn't even know what demisexual is because it's really not of relevance in the whole post, it's just a fun two dollar word (...) that has the word "sexual" in it.

    "LOOK HOW SMART I AM! SEE WHAT YOU ARE MISSING?! Big mistake. Huge."

    The combination of demisexual and sapiophile is what had me at a loss. I knew what sapiophile meant but had to look up demisexual. My take is that it means that primary sexual attraction does not exist that sexual attraction requires some sort of emotional attachment. (I know this is an over simplification). So the whole emotionally attachment for sexual attraction and sexual attraction to intelligence threw me off. It kind of says "you're a pretty smart guy. It's a good thing you got out early. There's a good chance if you didn't ditch me now, you would have ended up buried in my back yard."

    I guess I could have responded with I don't know what demisexual or sapiophile mean. I am much more quantitatively inclined. I scored in the 97% and 99% percentiles on the analytical and quantitative sections of the GRE but the three Korean guys with whom I shared an office during grad school outscored me on the verbal section. None of those guys could pronounce "lettuce."

    Sounds a bit self deprecating to me. I think she's saying that you had a lucky escape! That she's attracted to intelligent guys, like yourself, but she's not very sexual anyhows.....

    My interpretation was that "Attraction is complicated; *this* is my subcategory, so I understand. No hard feelings."

    I confess that I tend to find myself fairly intelligent, but I had no idea what either word meant. And personally, I can't stand people who try to quote big words from the dictionary, who probably don't know what they mean either. I say, meh - thank god you got rid of her now!

    Vegas is my second home too. I guess the intelligent degenerates use $5 chips not $5 words.

    they're dropping like flies. I swear I'm only 22 and half of my high school is engaged/married with kids.

    Getting engaged is overrated.
    You'll be the only one still having fun at 25+ y.o. and you'll have the last laugh.
