You seemed like a nice girl, and I enjoyed the 3 dates we had together, but now I see that your online profile is gravely misleading. Saying you’re a professional who works in marketing sounds like you went to university and have a degree. But to find out you work in retail selling clothing is deceiving, and you only have a high school diploma. If you can’t even be honest about what your job/career is, it makes me wonder what else you’re lying about. I’m university educated, climbing the corporate ladder, and have the drive to succeed. You have the drive to put up “SALE” signs. Sorry, but there’s no 4th date. —HonestEd

u sound like a tool………. sounds like she dodged a bullet.
she did a good job of marketing herself, you bought in.
If she works on commish, and is good at it, and her store is busy… Who gives a fuck? At least she is working… She won’t be driving a Porsche anytime soon, but you can do OK, I think. By 3 dates I would only be worried about STD’s and if her last BF is missing.
OP probably has TRIPOD in his profile, and didn’t explain it’s the stick up his ass…
I hope there’s more to it then her profession. But I sort-of understand how this could be misleading. Is the place where you put your job description a drop-down button that may not have retail as a choice? Maybe she’s not really lying.
You know, lots of very intelligent people didn’t go to university or if they did, didn’t finish it. I really get annoyed when people judge others based on their education when there’s way more to intelligence than what and how many degrees one has. I work in a university environment. I’ve been a student in university for quite a long time before that and trust me — there are some real idiots walking around this campus (and every other campus out there). The stories I could tell….
Two of the most intelligent people I know don’t have degrees. They had the opportunity to go to university, one fully funded, but had no desire and/or life got in the way.
And I’m not ragging on people WITH degrees either. Education is a wonderful thing (I wouldn’t have the degrees I do if I didn’t think it was worthwhile), but I just can’t stand it when people have pissing contests over their educational credentials OR think they’re superior because they have this degree or that degree and someone else doesn’t. Frig, I know someone who constantly rags on my education because I don’t have a masters. What they fail to realize is, I was accepted into a masters program and decided not to go because I wanted to start working. Obviously I’m smart enough to do grad work, but I just chose not to.
I know this was a long rant, but look at the entire person, not just the piece of paper(s) they have hanging on their walls.
‘Zactly, PK. I decided to go to community college because it was significantly cheaper than university, and less than a month after I graduated I got a job paying well above minimum wage. (And I only had to borrow around $16k instead of $50k+ or whatever the hell it costs for 4 years of university these days.)
I don’t have a degree and i don’t think that i’m stupid. Judging a girl on something like that seems rather shallow don’t you think?
I can’t buy in to your opinion that if she is lying on the profile she is hiding other things, i’ve lied on profiles before (saying i exercise 3 times a week, when in reality i don’t), Its human nature to make yourself as attractive as possible with white lies.
I’d say to this girl: be who the fuck you really are – bullshit always has a way of rising to the top and it usually doesn’t take long. If you’re not prepared to be honest, you’re not prepared for a mature relationship.
Oh, and as for you, OP, take down your snob meter down a notch. There are some pretty amazing women out there without a degree – marry your career instead and save some poor woman the grief of you trading her in after 20 years for a trophy wife.
OP… every woman is a professional !
When have you ever met an amateur one !!
Mr. More – this thing comes pretty close to “amateur” status…

…as in NOT A WOMAN AT ALL!. A keen hobbyist perhaps….
WTF, you mean everyone on facebook tells the truth except her. jesus paamino man, you are fucking nuts. did you get laid? was she any good? if yes, who gives a fucking if she is even a drop out, and slings fucking burgers. you are an absolute asshole and an idiot.

don’t mention “redneck strutters” ssh
Makes Madonna look like a brittle, embalmed old British soccer mom. Albeit one who has tax-sheltered more dong between her waxy thighs than The People’s Republic of Vietnam have ever had in their treasury.
oh god i think i’m going vegan. Don cherry looks normal now.
How did you describe yourself; conceited, snobby little cocksucker, who is insincere, shallow, fond of sucking the boss’ cock and will do anything/anyone to better my lifestyle. I bet you get a boner every time you see yourself in the mirror? What a fucking wanker.
I know a dude who used to pass out free copies of Metro at different locations. He told us that his position was something like ‘Marketing Analyst’ or something like that.
One of the things I COULD put on my resume and don’t, because I find it a bit ridiculous, but HILARIOUS is “meta data technician”.
It sounds so hard core! hahaha
OP is an asshat, the girl is better off without a future-dice-hanging-from-mid-life-crisis-bought-car-buffoon.
.my grandpappy used to say:..”yea don’t look at the ahem diploma on the mantle-piece when your poking in the ashes fella”…:)
you sound like a real fucktard who will die alone and bitter because you will be surrounded by wealth but no love. i actually feel pity for you.
meh, he knows what he wants… and it’s not to have to pay for every date.
If that’s the criteria he chooses, power to him.
Personally, I like to know how a person is and who they really are as my criteria….
looks and money are a distant second.
Unfortunately, zed, you’re likely in the minority on that front.
People, on the whole, are superficial, and there are a lot more people out there like OP than anyone cares to admit.
Hahaha OB by having the drive to succeed and going up the corporate ladder….im pretty sure you meant having awesome knee pads and loose throat/arse lol
Get over yourself. She was probably not going to give it up to you anyway.
Correct decision OP. If you look are her assets and compare it against what you have and will have, she would never come close. You will find someone much better, university educated, who also is climbing the corporate ladder.
I think most people are missing the point. I don’t think it was so much about the girl’s credentials but more about the fact that she lied or exaggerated the truth. Maybe the OP is like myself and has dealt with one too many compulsive liars/regular liars and has trust issues. If she can’t be honest about herself, I’d say you made the right choice OP.
meta data technician eh? that made me ROFL.
Hey OP, maybe it was the case that back when she was looking for work, she found the job online, listed under “marketing” and so she assumed that was the technical term for the job she now has. And maybe, using what she thought was the proper term was also her way of taking a little pride in what she does.
Op, to reject her after the three dates you claim to have enjoyed is a strong indication that you ARE a shallow tool. “I’m university educated and climbing the corporate ladder…bla bla bla,” who even says that?! You sound like a can of spray cheese!!
Pk, I am totally with you on the education thing: I have seen plenty of stupid people in university. Just because someone can memorize things and then spew the information back on a test doesn’t indicate intelligence…and just because someone has no universirty education does not mean they aren’t brilliant! Kill8 is right; the OP’s date definetly dodged a bullet.
Maybe she has no interest in climbing the corporate fuckstick I mean ladder. Not everyone wants to be stuck behind a monitor in an office, sucking ass and other things to get ahead.
You are an egotistical fucktard!!!! She clearly works for a living and is probably trying her best to get by in life. You may have givin up something special, she clearly came out on the better side after this one, I hope you find the perfect girl and she rejects you bc you are so shallow and you need your high paying job and career to pay for the councelling it takes to fix your ass backwards mind. Good luck, NOT!
I bet the retail job only started bothering him AFTER he slept with her.
I don’t see why every is hating on the OP. She lied about herself or exaggerated herself for whatever reason. Maybe she has shit self esteem or is just one of those people who lie. So the OP wants to date someone with aspirations higher than being a lifer at the GAP, what’s wrong with that? NOTHING. She can’t be honest from the get go, then there’s no reason to keep seeing her! HE dodged the bullet here. Maybe he wouldn’t have even cared if she wasn’t a university graduate if she didn’t lie about herself. This would turn anybody off, dun lie.
Way to climb that corp ladder loser. You say you liked her for the 3 dates (that you had in person) and then you FB snoop her and turn into the douche bag you were obviously hiding from her. Enjoy suit life, alone.
Yes, because everyone who doesn’t go to University is obviously unworthy of OP’s time.
I’m kinda on the fence for this one. It is annoying when people use verbal camouflage to spruce up their education and “profession”. But at the same time, I think you were a little too quick to dismiss the girl. You may regret it one day.
She didn’t lie, she misled. And she was able to mislead because you went about making assumptions without asking some basic questions for as long as it took to go on three dates…. wtf is that. The fact that you think you’re too good for her, even though you enjoyed her company, makes you a complete asshole in my book.
