[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son's waiting for college. [b] There aren't many smart girls at his high school who are available and drama-free. [/b] And he doesn't want to be tied to someone who might choose a different university.

He's actually pretty tired of hearing about other people's sex life and relationship issues.  His friends aren't convincing him by example that high school relationships are worth it.

I was pretty desperate to start dating in high school to prove to myself that I was pretty enough and attractive enough.  That got me 2.5 years of learning "what not to do in a relationship" with a Mr. Wrong.  If I could do it over, I would have skipped my first two boyfriends.  I could have used a village matchmaker![/quote]

You know ALL the girls in his high school so you can confidently state that they are ALL aren't "smart" or drama free?  Oh right, " who are available"    So in your eyes ( and his) that is only a small percentage?

Wow, your attitude towards girls has rubbed off on your son..."congrats?"  I feel sorry for any future women in his life[/quote]

Small school in MC neighborhood in flyover country.  Very different from DMV.  Yes, I have a pretty good knowledge of the girls in the top 10% of the class, because that's only about 20 girls and they are in all the same classes and ECs as my kid. And we've been in the district K-12 and I'm an active parent with the ECs.  Most of those girls are dating up (going steady with college guys from class ahead).  Some publicly identify as gay.  My son has plenty of female friends and a platonic girl friend date to prom.  He's just not looking to swashbuckle into the middle of anybody's relationship or sit waiting for a breakup so he can go on a few slightly more real dates before college.  We don't need your sarcastic fake pity.  Why don't you answer OP's question instead of attacking me?

If there are any bad girl geniuses or smart girls who aren't in honors classes in the district, they're probably not looking for a square like my kid, lol. [/quote]

I thought the term flyover was an insult.  Is this how you want to refer your home?[/quote]
