HI!  So I just need to vent.  After having been out af the singles social loop in so long - I have been going out whenever people invite me to (complicated situation w/ live-in bf of almost 6 yrs).  Anyhow - I have always been a confident, self-assured, and sociable gal.


 


but i must say the events I have gone to this weekend have left a bad taste in my mouth.  I don't know if it is because I have lost confidence or because I have moved to this West L.A. area.


 


Last night i went to a party of people ranging from early 20s to early 50s - yes very eclectic.  Many of the men were frat brothers making 6 figure incomes, and gaggles of beautiful gals.  But they were also so pretentious and full of themselves!   


Tonight I went to a "holiday Party" at a pet boutique, for our small dogs - and I have to say that was also the most awkard and uncomfortable situation I had been in a long time. 


I am a mid 20s, struggling gal - fashionable yes, non-sensical and extravagant -no.  I am just finding it difficult to meet quality people I can really relate to these days - of course the style thread gals are soo great, wish we could meet up irl!


So thanx for letting me vent...


Viv

Man, that sucks.  I know the feeling... you get all dolled up and cute to go to a party, and then you get there and scope the place and realize "I can't relate to a single person here."  No fun! 


The important thing is that you know your strengths and that you are a fun person, but even the most gregarious of us just can't enjoy themselves with a bunch of terrible people. 


Maybe the next holiday party will be better.

I know EXACTLY what you mean. I have two schools of thought on this subject though, having been there myself. On one hand it sucks because it's hard to find people to connect with and connections are very important. On the other hand, it's so much easier to avoid the pitfalls of dating that way. When I'm the one who is different than the whole group, it's easier for me not to fall for someone's bs or a pretty face or whatever. Finding a person who is unique is not easy, of course, but you'll know it as soon as you find it because they'll stick out as much as I do!


Luckily there's always ST when we get home.

well, hello, my fellow LASTer!  i seem to recall you living in OC before... am i totally making that up?  anyways, glad you are in LA now!  i know it's extremely difficult to find quality people here.  everyone is really fake & pretentious!  all i can say is maintain friendships w/ people that live far away (i went up to ventura this weekend & it was nice to get out of LA).  also, get invovled in community groups.  if you are religious, that might be somewhere to start... my church has a group for people in their 20's & 30's and i've met tons of really cool people.  mostly i think the best way to meet people though is through the friends you already have.  i've met tons of people that way.  good luck and if you ever want to hang out sometime PM me!  i've hung out w/ a couple other girls from ST and they are very cool!  we are really lucky to have this board and the wonderful women who frequent it!!
