Funny you bring this up.<p>I was on a date last Thursday and this girl (29 yrs old) was constantly trying to figure out how she was better than me....IN EVERY FACET OF LIFE.<p>For example, she went on and on about how she is a badass since she went to the Amazon forests to a nice touristy shack with a guide and a bar. She told stories of hammocks, mosquito nets, snakes, insects and other wild stuff.<p>After a long time, she finally asked, &quot;Tell me something about yourself...what adventures have you done? Or do you just do some programming stuff&quot; (stereotyping of software engineers is rampant)<p>I simply smiled at her and said, &quot;I backpacked through the forests in India without tour guides and ate wood-fried insects for lunch&quot; (all true)<p>She was surprised....and all of a sudden, the average me piqued her interest. She couldn&#x27;t believe that I had done better than her in pretty much everything.<p>Now she wanted me....but I didn&#x27;t...not anymore.<p>I&#x27;m 27. I want practical, non-judgemental girls...not massive egos.
