Posted: 11/3/2006 11:45:49 PM | The only sane women I have met in California are from other states or countries.
My ex was a native and she was nuttier than a fruitcake. | |

Posted: 11/4/2006 2:14:22 PM | | I have lived in Southern California my whole life. Yes sometimes moving out of California to try other places. But, how dare you assume that all California women are alike? I have lived in all different situations where I have had alot of money or none and I am here to tell you that it doesn't NOT change a good person if they are one. You yourself sound like a snob and maybe educated women do not appreciate your arrogance and and they chose to not like you. | |

Posted: 5/15/2007 8:57:35 PM | I would have to say having lived in California and Flordia this is crap. I would say most women in California are transplants anyway and adapted to their surroundings. This is like saying all men in California are actors, models, body buliders, etc, etc,...come on, people are who they are.
Women who are snobby and goldiggers are just that, has nothing to do with " California "..that is like saying everyone or most surf in Hawaaii....or most ride horses in Texas,, or most in Utah are Mormons,,,( okay that is true )..but do you get what I am saying ? I hear the women in New York are the ****es and gold diggers....I do not believe it however. | |

Posted: 5/16/2007 4:59:15 PM | California women are regarded as being gold-digging, tofu eating, self centered, and shallow than other women in the country (feel free to add stereotypes of your own).
You can thank the media for this generalization! While attending college I met a lot of girls from ALL OVER the US and there's a snobby one to represent every state...
#1- I paid my OWN way through school and will pay my OWN way out!
#2-Tofu is digusting, no matter what you put on it (personal opinion).
#3-My friends and family will back me up when I say that I am one of the most giving, unselfish people I know.
#4-Shallow? I graduated with a BA, love Shakespeare, love wit and puns and anything else that makes the wheels in my head turn! You can talk to me about anything!
I was raised in the California desert (perhaps why I'm not "posh"). And I went to school up in Northern California (Humboldt State, near Eureka)... yes they do eat tofu up there, but not because it's "the" thing to do....
When my roommate from Maine first arrived to live with us, one of the first questions was "seriously, what did you think California girls would be like?" And sadly his answer was "what I see on TV." Good thing he met REAL California girls and is currently engaged to be married to a NorCal girl!

Posted: 5/18/2007 10:18:22 AM | OP:
Real simply: In some it's true, in others not.
Possibly the more important line that you put in your original post that should be addressed more however is where you wrote:
In northern California, people seem to be nicer in general. True or not, I really couldn't tell.
However, the important thing to remember while thinking about that line is simple, while thinking of that line, also think of another: What goes around comes around. And then think about what you're trying to support regardless of where you are.

Posted: 5/18/2007 11:16:19 AM | I would love to let you know if I thought this was true or not but I don't have the time. It is Friday and I would like to go out tonight so I have to get my shovel and dig up some gold so I can get a date for the evening.  | |

Some issues might not be money issues.....it's Friday so I have to find a date for this evening? Hate to tell you that that ship has already sailed. This method does not allow her the time to 'look forward' that is also important. Social skills guys, social skills! If we guys start practicing them, maybe the gals will brighten our lives with them too! Just something to think about.

Posted: 5/18/2007 12:13:58 PM | Out4aWalk, you are so right, exercising them will take you a long way. Social skills are everything and many people, not just men lack them. Also, some guys are blinded by all of the flash, they don't open their eyes to reality.
For the record, I am a native Californian and get kind of tired of the flakey, superficial stereotypes that we have. My parents were originally from Chicago and I was raised with midwestern values. | |

Yep. Like you, I'm also a native that was raised with good values. Glad to meet you.
Also like you, I also kinda get tired of the stereotypes (I've never surfed even once...not that surfing is bad, some of my best friends do, which is fine! it's a great ocean, enjoy it!), but after a while I also find that it's easy to ignore the dialogue if I just don't put value into it. As for those who indeed are the stereotypes personified intentionally (ie; rather than being just simply who they really sincerely are), they are pretty easy to ignore also.
I guess sometimes it also gets tiresome of finding threads and conversations within threads of people generally bashing other people, whether it be by gender, geography, heritage, beliefs, etc.....it all gets old. I'd like to find a way that we all learn to be the better, and firmly believe that if we do, then we'll be pleasantly surprised at how we're being treated ourselves by what results in everyone too. But it'll take a majority here in order to make it work. Come on guys, what do you all say?
(not saying that I haven't been guilty in the past myself)

Posted: 5/18/2007 8:34:19 PM | | Very well stated. A woman from SoCal will not give you the time or place unless there is something in it for her, whatever that may be. Women down here have no soul or heart. Now, I'm sure there are exception which are far and few. If a woman down here has any hint beauty or sexiness there head is so far up there azz they can't breathe. But mostly it's not there fault but the fault lies in our society. Men are dumbest creatures giving up there souls and freedom for 10 min. of pleasure while women are the most insecure. Always trying to look there best and trying to hord all the attention. | |

Posted: 5/19/2007 4:53:44 PM | I, like Beerchic, Love that Gretchin Wilson song however I think it depends on the area the "girl" grew up. I grew up in Tustin and the girls there, for the most part, were really down to earth and I had no trouble getting a date. I'd go to one of the beach cities and just try to strike up a conversation and be told to go pound sand up my a*s.
In Whittier they are party girls, in Brentwood they are snobs. I used to go to Claremont collage(this was 20 years ago a younger friend went there) and girls even 10 years younger than I were still friendly sociable and receptive. Some more so than others! 
It's all about the local. | |

Posted: 5/20/2007 1:27:21 PM | 2bcaptain, I grew up in Tustin too. In fact, I still live in the vicinity. And I do believe that we were pretty regular. There is a lot to be said about locale. I have to laugh about what you've said about parties at the beach. My friends and I used to make fun of surfer boys, who were cute, but quite stuck up and never seemed to comb their hair.
I do have moments where I am guilty of making fun of the botoxed, surgically-enhanced, high maintenance types. Sadly, these types of women seem to be the living stereotype of the California woman. | |

Posted: 5/21/2007 5:22:10 AM | | Cali women are definately more different than women in the east coast. It says that all women in the bay area are into yoga, like eating sushi, and enjoy using their laptops in coffee shops. The conversations are more intelligent but some are almost anti-sexual. | |

Posted: 5/21/2007 10:01:05 AM | | I don't know if they're "more different," but I hear they are different. I wouldn't know, I haven't spent much time on the Easr coast, | |

Posted: 5/21/2007 10:17:35 AM | If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne.
I think this song is definitely about an East Coast woman or a NorCal gal. Definitely not describing a SoCal woman. | |

Posted: 5/21/2007 1:42:29 PM | You said it, I didn't. 
Since I escaped Los Angeles in 1969, my experience with SoCal men is so far back in history that I can't remember. (AND, obviously what I had was not memorable!)
So, what makes SoCal men distinctive. Equal time is only fair.. | |
