^^ my philosophy is that I’d rather wait to buy a BMW than drive around town in a POS… quality over quantity.

I hope you are joking. How do you explain the 3 year gap in resume? Well. . . I’m too good for most jobs. So I figured not to do anything until one comes along? lol

He was probably kidding…it is one thing to not be able to get employed and another to purposefully not get employed

I’ve learned never to take things how I’d normally would on this forum. It’s the most confusing forum I’ve ever been on. Some interesting personalities here ha ha

You guys might never have worked in Asia. You can have an MBA or whatever and you still get treated like the teaboy. There is no path to management other than “wasta” in these places. Therefore making yourself look small and unimportant by getting a low level job is worse than actually being unemployed in the minds of many bourgeious Arabs and Asians.

this is really bad…

[KanKan]

really? … this right here made me tear up a bit even Bchad is tunring on me? WHat the hell happened here!!

ok I’m going to adress this right now because I think a lot of my sarcasm / humor has somehow been lost on everyone. Firstly - the tread header. This was a complete play on the newbie CFA vs MBA can’t get a job nonsense that we love so much. I’m NOT actually freaking out people. I’m fine… really. Now… continuing on…

@bchadwick

KanKan strikes me as a bit high maintenance.

**this part hurt. I’ve NEVER been called out for being high maintenance. Quite the opposite really. My past postw will definately confirm this.

She claims is successful and attractive and talented (I’ll assume that’s true, although we do have to take her word for it).

**again- I never said I’m a ten. For those who took the zoolander quote seriously your bad for not appreciating fine film. I also never said I’m X, Y or Z …I simply stated I have my stuff relatively together. This was not meant to be pretentious- just a statement of fact to provide some background.

Despite being independent, she doesn’t want to pay for the site.

** thats because I don’t know if its the right one - thats kinda the advice I was looking for- join this not that, white this … blah blah. And what does independent have to do with paying for a match membership again?

Still, she’s been on the site for less than 24 hours and complains that she’s gotten only a 15% response rate.

**the complain was pointed at myself- again… looking for advice.

A good guy will think about how to compose a good response to a quality woman.

**great feedback - this is what I’m looking for!!

Plus she doesn’t like the spam emails she’s getting from the frogs who won’t turn into princes.

** sure don’t but after some of the posts here I see its part of the process. This is my first time so I had no idea. I just wanted to make sure it the norm. I don’t mind tadpoles- I’m actually typically attracted to tadpoles. I’m just trying to avoud the amoebas.

My radar says a guy would either need to be jerk who doesn’t care, or he will drive himself crazy trying to keep her satisfied. Maybe that isn’t true, but it is the impression that one gets just reading the story. Hopefully the profile message doesn’t communicate the same.

**def not, happinness comes from onself.

I’ve been on dating sites in the past, and sometimes women (both attractive and unattractive) have such jaded and negative sounding profiles that no matter how pretty or successful they are, you just know that you’re not going to want to come home from a long day at the office and have to field all of her sources of dissatisfaction in the world. So move on to the next. Optimism and just being upbeat goes a long way.

**100% agreed. My profile is upbeat. I just describe what I enjoy, what I value and ask that they are: “passionate about something, of strong character (honesty, integrity, compassion), smart and quick witted, and interested in meeting someone who can hold a decent conversation.”

I don’t know you specifically, but it sounds like you might be giving off that vibe. Seriously. It hasn’t been even 24 hours, and you’re already miffed that Prince Charming didn’t find you and/or call back?

**… I’m not miffed! I’m explaining how I’m spitting coffee out my nose in laughter and this is percieved as anger? Look - I had absolutely no idea what to expect. I have no friends who have done this to give me fair warning- after some of the feedback here - it seems like one is to expect the craigslist-y creepers and and shotting fish in a barrel types. I get that now and I’m ready to charge forward.

I know, it’s one of the things I genuinly despise about the Asian / Arab culture. But as far as I know he’s not in Asia, so it’s a moot point. In certain tribal societies grunting loudly asserts dominance, but I wouldn’t advise it for an interview in the US. It’s largely this class system and failure to roll up their sleaves that has China and India each still trying to match our TOTAL GDP with equivalent natural resources and three times the population despite a 2 thousand year head start. They’re growing fast?!? Who cares! On a per capita level thy’re still miles behind as a nation. The only reason they are rising recently is because much of their population has embraced a willingness to roll up their sleaves and do what it takes without complaint, they’re not rising ascending because of MBA students too picky to take a job.

He definitely was not kidding. Oh well, have fun explaining that job gap while you hold out for CEO of Goldman Sachs.

Uh these countries are rising because for most of their history as independent nations they’ve been following stupid ideologies of socialism and communism (thank you Nehru and Mao), and prior to that were subjects of foreign imperial powers that deliberately impoverished them. It has nothing to do with the “class system”, and before you start, the “caste system” either. Once these bottlenecks are removed, they are steadily moving forward.

ChickenTikka has an image of India created in the 2000s, but me and generations of older indians remember how India used to be before.

Agree with Palantir there.

[The_Righteous_Hacksa]

Palintir, I wasn’t really talking about India. Don’t get so fucking touchy. Notice I said the word “wasta.” Is that an Indian word? No.

Seriously, go to Dubai. Saudi. Any of these places. You’ll meet a bunch of bored, not so smart or not so hard working, sons of somebody mildly important. They usually hang out cruising in their tricked out cars. These guys are completely unemployable. They only want to be the CEO or nothing else. They’re a hell of a lot of fun though.

[ohai]

Are you basing that on India’s decreasing share of world income in the late 1800s/early 1900s? If so, that might be misleading, given that the Industrial Revolution was happening in the West at that time.

I was responding to Black Swan’s statements who seemed to be responding to yours. Was not trying to attack you personally.

True, but Britain and other imperial powers were getting richer at the expense of their colonies
