to be really annoyed with this woman in the Guardian?

[hatwoman]

the blind date woman - said that her date should have offered to pay for her taxi. grrrr. bloody whipper snappers (she was 24-ish) undoing the hard work of so many others.

[Goingspare]

Yes, saw that. YANBU.

[5DollarShake]

It's not because she is young, is it? It's just because she's a freeloader.

[earlymorningwaking]

YABU for 'whippersnappers'. Plenty more older kept women than younger.

[southeastastra]

oh blimey reminds me of an article i read about dating in new york. so many tick lists or the poor bloke was out on his ear.

it's very backward

[Longtalljosie]

I was astonished when I saw it - does anyone actually do that?

[newwave]

Made me raise an eyebrow as well, if I was the bloke i would throw away her number

[perfumedlife]

YABU the Guardian is rubbish

[hatwoman]

the whippersnappers thing was speculation on my part that this paricular youngster just didn't "get" feminism. probably doesn't realise just how different a world it was for women 50 years ago, just how hard won some of the battles have been and just how many there are still to go. I apologise to all those (many) whippersnappers who do get all that. and extend my critism to all the middle agers and fogies who don't.

YANBU

[newwave]

perfume, The only paper worth reading along with the Indy and Observer. :)

Whats your choice.

[MrsVincentPrice]

Yes I was too.

[domesticslattern]

Yanbu. I actually moaned about that bit to my DH earlier today- read out her comment and we agreed she was an arse. And she had just had a free meal off the Guardian!

Got to say that that whole feature irks me every week though.

[SuePurblybiltByElves]

I love the Sat Guardian. But the dates are becoming annoying. I may apply to go on one myself

[hatwoman]

I love the date thing. it's virtually the only thing I read. love the fact that week after week the men rate the women higher than vice versa. are they less fussy or less critical?

[lennythelion]

YANBU - I thought the same when I read it. The blind dates are very rarely compatible!

[scottishmummy]

plenty middle agers livin off hubby or ex.grrr bloody tena ladies undoing the hard work of so many others.

[justabit]

wasn't the age. was the attitude.

[perfumedlife]

I'm a Telegraph reader, know thy enemy

The Guardian seem to me to print what we already knew, and the actual investigative element seems to have declined.

[scottishmummy]

was that why 24yo whipper snapper age was mentioned?

some folk are flaky of age regardless of age

[mumbar]

wouldn't have said the age - I had DS at 24 (and 2 days!) It just takes us back to the sense of entitlement again.

TBH as a single mother of 30 I'd happily walk home if someone wanted to take me out for dinner

[CaptainBarnacles]

Yes, YANBU. I thought she was a total princess - also turned up 20 minutes late for the date.

[KPidgeon]

YANBU- I thought exactly the same thing. I'm 29 and loads of girls my age would expect that though- with a certain "princess" attitude about it. Pathetic.

[SuePurblybiltByElves]

I bought the Mail today for the first time. I want the Kate'n'Will plate for a pressie

[JamieLeeCurtis]

I noticed that too. Was very surprised

[JamieLeeCurtis]

... I was also a bit pissed off that he rated her so highly, after I read that. Wonder how he feels having read that she thinks he should have paid for the taxi?
