if you were an ivy league student would you even give an enlisted military guy a chance?

[diam0nds.]

um, i don't see why i wouldn't give him a chance.
what does an ivy league student have anything to do with this?

Stuck up egotistic fruit cakes. /end thread. lol

This is love and relationship, not who is proper for my "social" class.

Edit:

I think youre the military dude arent you?

If she don't give you a shot, then refer to what I said above, dont stress it. 99% chance she will, someone with the caliber to go to those type of schools should know better than to even have a notion of "social" class and elites.

i think you misunderstood.
& i don't know who you're calling a stuck up egotistic fruit cake, but i suggest you stop the name-calling if you have any future ones in mind.

not everyone who gets into an ivy league school is high class/high society/elite.
and i agree with mikez. no one should feel higher than anyone just because of the school they attend.

^ I think s/he was referring to ivy league students...

I don't see anything wrong with ivy league student w/ military dude, but I personally wouldn't go for it... >_> I need someone who's going to stay with me and not sent to some war-torn country.

^i think that will be the only reason why it might not work out

[i-lv-jc]

If she is from one of those Social and Elite family, her parents will object, making things harder. However, she might be one of those who rebel against her family and go out with someone like as yourself who doesn't have her family's backround.

Well anyways, if she isn't a snob, and you're a cool guy, I don't see why she wouldn't at least go out with you.

BTW, I think all ladies in support of our troops should go out with them and let them know we appreciate everything that they do, I know I do.

Thank you troops, we love you and support you.

Good luck!

[.oOLimOo.]

Are you a crazy murderer? no?
Can you communicate one way or another, whether it be with the eyes or mouth? yes?
Do you have good intentions? yes?

Then yea why not. If there's a real connection I wouldn't mind waiting for someone. Good luck btw

[oubliette]

I am most likely going to an Ivy League school next year (have admission into one as of now), and I know that I would give ANYONE a chance if I really liked him - no matter what his "social status" might or might not be. Parents might not be happy, but honestly... yeah.

Good luck!

[CAprd]

haha i never said the guy was me. i do feel a good connection between us but i feel that it would never work. her fellow ivy league friends dont seem to really like or respect me especially this one guy who i think likes her.

this forum is probably not to ask this kind of question since most of the people here are young.
but thanks for the encouragement!

ivy league = certain "elite" top-notch east coast schools. like yale, princeton, mit, harvard, etc.

lol.

You ask what does Ivy league-er have anything to do with this, I just meant that they do if they are elitist fruit cakes.

And I know people who feels they are so "good" because of the type of schools they go to, its pathetic really.

[diam0nds.]

i asked that in terms of what he (the topic starter) was trying to get at/ask. & maybe it's me who's not comprehending, but what's the reason behind your insult? yeah, i don't understand the whole "i'm-better-than-you-because-i-go-to-______" thing either; i just don't know what you're trying to get at with the whole 'fruit cake' thing.

Maybe its you, but I throw insults around in real life whether I mean it or just for jokes. Not to brag but I am one of the top student of my major, and I really hate pompous people, as I was considered one of the slower kids in highschool. I just felt just to throw an insult back at them

[moot11]

Without knowing anything about you or her, it is very difficult to say, or generalize. Are the two of you looking for similar types of relationships? Will you be stationed overseas, will a long distance relationship be a problem? I think these are the type of questions you should first be asking, instead of, if your occupation in the military will be a deterrent for her.

[colloquy]

Some of my best friends are going to Ivy League schools (Harvard, Princeton, Yale and Brown), and none of them I would describe as elitist or stuck up. All of them come from working class / middle class backgrounds, in fact most of them were raised by single parents, and are all down to earth and quirky in their own way. I resent people stereotyping others that attend those type of schools, because you're doing the EXACT same thing that those stuck up people who attend Ivy League schools do to others. I think it speaks volumes about the fact that they are probably jealous. While some of Ivy Leagers may have gotten in due to their parents or some form of connections, and yes, quite a few on the rich side, I think it's simply a stupid thing to do.

I think that the military thing may be more that Ivy League students - and college students in general - tend to lean towards the liberal side. I've heard of some Ivy League schools banning recruiters (I think Harvard). Some professors are quite vehement about their opinions, some anti-military, and I know that most college student that takes any charismatic/well-spoken professor as gospel, and/or they get really angry. It may also be true that they look down on an enlisted for their lack of a college education.

My father is a officer in the Military - a captain in the Navy. I know he and my mother would oppose me being in a relationship and/or marrying someone from the military. Especially enlisted I would think, but also officer as well. I've lived the life of a navy brat, having to move around all the time, and while I like travel - it can et quite grating at times. I can understand why they would think this. Personally, I don't look for a relationship with someone in the military, I prefer civilians. Why? Because I don't want to repeat my childhood of having to move to places where you may have no choice, going through the financial turmoil that they did when my father didn't make too much (repaying college debt, not being able to eat down except for pizza, because they had to repay and also save), etc. But, that's my personal outlook on it.

I think that if an Ivy Leaguer and an enlisted military guy/girl fall in love, they should go for it. It's not something taboo or anything.
