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.

Yes, saw that. YANBU.

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

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

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

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

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

YABU the Guardian is rubbish

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

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

Whats your choice.

Yes I was too.

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.

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

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?

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

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

wasn't the age. was the attitude.

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.

was that why 24yo whipper snapper age was mentioned?

some folk are flaky of age regardless of age

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

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

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.

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

I noticed that too. Was very surprised

... 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?
