OK, Kids! Book Club is winding down, and the topics are getting juicier. Here are this week's questions. As always, please reference which questions you are answering.
1. In the chapter What First Dates Really Tell Us, Gottlieb discusses how we are often too quick to judge a person by the first date experience. Thinking about this, name three things that would make you NOT want to go out on a second date. After you list them, go back and answer - are these really deal breakers?
2. In the chapter Are Women Pickier Than Men, Gottlieb addresses the question of women having higher (and relatively unrealistic) expectations about their potential suitors. Thinking of modern day, answer this: Are women pickier than men? Why or why not?
For next week, finish the book! I'll do a final week of questions, and then the following week, a wrap up of final thoughts on the book.
Cheers!

1. For my three deal breakers, I would list not having steady employment, having *too* large a family, and saying something racially insensitive. Looking back, I would say one and two are not items I could really get over, unless the "not having a job" was more of an interim matter and not a lifestyle decision. Number three, unless it had some major backing or explanation (like I misunderstood, which has been known to happen), it's doubtful I could overlook. But, like most situations, I realize there is more than meets the eye sometimes.
ReplyDelete2. Interesting, because before I started dated, I think I would have answered this question differently. But yes, as a majority, I think women are pickier than men. I think we are more apt to cling to details that don't really make or break a person, and that sometimes we tend to find things wrong with someone (like someone once said - "cock blocks to our happiness"). Men go with the flow a lot more, although I think they tend to be more fixated on looks.
