A Friendster chat with an ITE girl

Maybe she too shy since you so gentleman and so polite to her.

fudgester SG

Once a gal chatted me up on Friendster, saying that she wanted to get to know me.

Flattered, I introduced myself with the normal stuff: name, age, where I'm studying, etc, etc.

Then she replied (these were her exact words):

'....i'm studying at ITE. i tink u won't bother bout me after gettin my msg cz im an ite student... tts wat normally happen wen da clever mit da stupid.....'

I replied to her, saying that I don't discriminate based on education level (or any other reason, for that matter), and that I have several good friends from ITE (and I really do). To quote my exact words:

'.....the fact that you're from ITE is not an issue to me. I have a number of close friends from ITE whom I can get along with well, and I do not see them as stupider than I am, or myself as smarter than they are.'

Even so, I never heard from her again. Ever.

Comments? Confused

actually after thinking abit, i guess you were too formal and speaking in a way that might be out of her comfort zone. this is judging from the message she sent and not the fact that shes from ite

fudgester SG

Well, I never try to make anyone feel inferior.

For me to discriminate on the basis on education level is really dumb. I have friends from all types of education backgrounds, ranging from primary school dropouts to PhD holders. And that's not because of some forced affirmative action policies, but because they're genuinely nice people who happened to cross paths with me in the course of my life.

Oh well... I guess there's not much I can do if she wants to stick to this mindset of hers. Confused

CoolMyth SG

Ditto. Because you answered her in perfect English. Laughing

Rustyhong SG

ya ... your english too power ... come ... learn from us and you will get to know more girls .. lol

Ito_^ SG

ya lor.. reply singlish with singlish ma.

CoolMyth SG

Yep, this is a rule of the mating game. Laughing

joker105 SG

mi tink the way u say it must have scare her off...
Laughing

fudgester SG

Hmm... I won't disagree with what you say. I guess I was pretty formal in my speech.

At the same time, though, it would also be pretty much out of my comfort zone to talk in a less-than-formal language while explaining to her that I don't practice discrimination of any sort.

I guess I need to brush up a little on being able to communicate effectively. Confused

>>> you shld reply:"so wat?"

DriftingGuy SG

Your reply is a little too "correctly spelt and grammatically correct" if you know what I mean... the wording used must be a little more "singlish" like one of the other replies used by ito.. This is just my opinion but I believe she got intimidated by your background and hence felt she cannot match up to you, this is further reinforced by your reply back to her..

Else there can be 101 other reasons? Move on bro.

BrUtUs SG

x2...

hisoka SG

its not just the no singlish or singlish, its like the way you phrase it, the no typo flawless spelling and punctuation, etc. and hof course the trun of phrase the tone, hard to actually pin it down

but no prob i can communicate fine with you it seems Laughing too bad neither of us are female

fudgester SG

Yeah I know.... I've moved on a long time ago. This thing happened weeks ago, and it sure as heck didn't bother me at all.

I'm just asking you guys for comments on this little incident, that's all.

fudgester SG

You could try wearing a skirt.

Then we can test out our communication skills. Laughing
