I love these DC threads! I'm thinking about going there just to start one.

She went to a top tier STEM school and graduated with highest honors. What do you think she is overcompensating for?

6. The city is heavily African-American/immigrant.. I don't really mind either way, but thats the elephant in the room as far as being a reason why its downplayed as much as I hear it

I still maintain that I do not find DC to be “as bad” as what is posted on this board. DC is not great by any means but I don’t think it is as bad as one may think.
Now my next set of statements may rub some folks the wrong way but what the heck….
I don’t have a problem with the “What do you do?” question. After I rattle off “software engineer and contractor for that infamous federal agency in Fort Meade MD”, that shuts up the chicks a little (usually with an agreeing head-nod). Once they inquire about education, I rattle off “undergrad at Michigan State, grad school at U-Wisconsin” and that’s that. On to the next conversation topic. Personally, I don’t how any guy gets frustrated with the “What do you do question”.
My next point….
ENOUGH with all of that “take risks” CRAP. Most of the time, folks want to mention that they take risks just to impress someone who is NOT putting money in your pocket. Me?...I take risks when I see a high reward vs. low consequences. Furthermore, I am not taking a risk when I see something that I can get rather easy or which causes me no worries. I will take a slower pitch right over home plate anyday…and sleep good too.
DC is full of nerds….and they are PAID nerds too. I know dudes trying every corny half-baked business idea that can find (while residing in other cities) and don’t bring in the income I bring. Is my pay based of federal government money? Hell yeah…for the federal agency that I do contract work for, as long as the USA has enemies, I have a job that puts me at the “mythical” Top-5%. Shiiii….I can shout out I am a math major and a nerd…while I “sell a dream” to these chicks about family, houses, picket-fences to get them to drop those “Victoria secrets”. Don’t get me wrong, I work out a little, fashion is decent (both are needed too), but I don’t have to aim for a bench-press of 600 pounds nor try to be some fashion plate while trying to PROVE I take risks to game the chicks. Plain ‘ole money works (or illusion of her having access to money).
To sum it up, these DC chicks are not as tough as it may seem. They have a shield that “looks” like harden titanium but if you match them 1-for-1, you find out that their shield is made of aluminum from the dollar store.

I find this to be an interesting point. Do you think that makes you seem higher value in their eyes, or is it just to shut them down (get past the topic) and quickly move on to the next topic? Normally I never mention my credentials, which would pretty much crush almost any girl (or guy). I know I'm likely to be better, so I never feel like I have anything to prove.
