Overly complicated/engineered proposals. Do you need attention for every moment of your life?

I am from New York. I no longer live there, but I am snobby about meeting someone who asks where I'm from and upon hearing I'm from there, says "Me too!" And when I ask "Oh, what part?" it turns out they are from JERSEY! And then they have this attitude of "well are you REALLY from NY?" Yeah, who would lie about claiming to be from Flushing? Just stop saying you're from New York when you're from a completely different state.
I know someone who visited America from the isle of Guernsey, she kept telling the story of Americans asking where she was from and when she said Geurnsey every person said ‘Oh, Ner Jersey’!!!
Like a person who says Finland, and the reply is ‘Oh, New Finland, that small country next to Canada’
But Guernsey is near Jersey. Are you sure your friend isn't thick?

+1 not surprising
+2 on “not surprising,” but it is disappointing and short sighted. There are progressives, Democrats, and people who strongly believe in the mission of your non profit everywhere. Even the reddest red states are around 30% Democratic! This is why the Republicans hate us and why we’re losing the culture wars.

DH says I'm a chocolate snob. I only like chocolate from places like Belgium or individual chocolate shops, where each piece looks like a work of art. For me it's the texture and combination of flavors.
Dark is my favorite, but I also love milk and sometimes white. I especially love nuts, fruit or toffee in the chocolate. And I love crispy or crunchy over smooth.
If it's chocolate that comes from a grocery or chain store, I have zero interest. It all just tastes so grainy.
We vacationed in CA near Sees Candy and it was pretty good.
I only have chocolate candy once a year or so if we travel somewhere that has a specialty chocolate shop.
It's also handy to be this kind of snob now when we have buy chocolate for Halloween and end up with extras. I have no temptation, and donate to the food pantry on Nov 1.

I guess this is the opposite of the people who will only date college educated people. I instantly judge anyone who went to these two schools and it’s not fair. I went to an impressive university but it’s not my identity.
I don’t care if someone has a college education and care that they are good people. I know plenty of people who are jackasses who went to college or didn’t. I know plenty of successful people who went to college or didn’t.
If they do that it's a narcissistic striver thing.

How is it snobbery to brag about kids who have their fingers up their noses most of the time?

That’s not snobbery. It’s common sense. Why would you date somebody who didn’t go to college?
I did once… but he was already very rich.😁

I would never either.
+2. I married someone who didn't, and it reflected in all aspects of the relationship. It's not always true, but it was true in my case.

This^. College is basic.
It’s pathetic to think that you’re so much better than people whose family didn’t have money to pay for college. I did go to college BTW on a full scholarship but it takes special kind of stupid to look down your nose at people who are doing just fine if not better than people who have an undergrad degree.
Not to mention we know several non-college educated people who are wealthier than we are: the various people who own the plumbing, HVAC, and landscaping companies we use all have more income and assets than we do.
Money does not trump education.
It does for Trump
