People ask why I don't date guys who describe themselves as "young professionals." I never quite knew the answer - it was more of a gut feeling. But now, thanks to an e-mail I got today, I know! Read it and weep:
We are a group of young professionals who decided that instead of complaining about the lack of fun night life and interesting people in Vancouver, we should do something about it.We know there are several social groups in Vancouver, most have open memberships. Thats fine, but we are looking for something at the higher end. People who are financially secure and want to network with other successful people.We have been to several other groups and have been to a lot of events, some are good some and bad. What we want to do with this group is to be exclusive on who can join so we can find like minded people who share the same passion and interests.
We are not looking to create a huge group, we are fine with 50-100 fun people who know what they want in life.
Yes, this will be exclusive and we will not be allowing everyone to join. We want successful people who are beautiful inside and out and have difficulty meeting quality people at their same level.
What we can promise you is that our team of business professionals and promotion experts will create amazing events and exclusive parties for you so you can meet with the best the city has to offer. We will have exclusive business networking events as well as fun events for singles and professionals.
Some people will obviously criticize us for being exclusive, but at this stage of our lives we are interested in meeting people who can turn into positive relationships for years to come. We want to only attract the best and the brightest from Vancouver.
There will be a membership card issued to all would-be members.
Don't you just want to smack him/her? I probably shouldn't get worked up about a spam e-mail, but... I just hope it's a massive scam, so that the smug douchebags who actually reply to it get taken for all they're worth.
So guys: do you live in your parents' basement? Are you working toward your third masters degree? Have you been writing that brilliant screenplay for 7 years, in between backpacking trips to Thailand? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you're the guy for me! At least your hobbies probably don't include "eugenics."
