Ok goons, got some brainstorming to do on this one. I found a girl who is attractive and has a reasonably well written profile that shows off her interests and isn't generic or a dumb rant (evidence below). She mentions she's in grad school so she's probably doing something right, and she's the right kind of nerdy that is fun instead grognardy. Then halfway through the profile she drops this bomb.



She is 27 years old. How does someone that seemingly has a lot going for them reach that age without ever having a date? Taking bets on what her dark, terrifying secret is. I sent her a message so maybe I'll find out.

Exhibit A: part of the decent profile

Maybe she just got out of a long relationship that consumed her entire college life and most of her 20s?

If that's the case, stay far away.

She has sexual hangups and/or poor social skills but is trying to change things. She is basically the female version of every male goon's OKC page, but she became who she is for Irrelevant Reason X instead of the usual too much time on the computer reason attributable to goons.

In short you'll be lucky if she replies and her dark secret will be dating you.

Friend of mine's girlfriend hadn't ever dated anyone before they went out. Her folks were nutty religious and she grew up sheltered and homeschooled. She turned 26, took a teaching position in Japan, came back a year later and started dating my friend. He says it's been a little strange since she'd literally never kissed a boy before they started dating, but they're doing pretty well.

she's a nerd who has been taking her life seriously and is only now thinking she might want something besides a career

love has quite possibly never occurred to her before now

these things are relatively neutral... they could end up bad, or they might have little to no effect... it depends on how well-adjusted she is as a human being

"Never really dated" girl could have a weird definition for dating or for what her past relationships were. Like that guy she hung out with every day in college and constantly did things with on campus, he wasn't her boyfriend and they weren't dating because they didn't go out for dinner and a show every weekend. Poor guy :smith:

But probably just sheltered in high school, serious in undergrad, ready to try new things. Just send her a drat message.

How to Become a School Librarian
Many people who are interested in getting a Master’s of Library and Information Science do so with the hopes of one day becoming a public school librarian. After all, working with children can be extremely rewarding. And being the school librarian means you get to see all the kids, but none of them really “belong” to you at the end of the day. Kind of like being the cool aunt, or the grandma. Add in the generous vacation time every year and this is an attractive job. It’s competitive, though, so you should go about it the right way.

In order to apply for a Master’s of Library Science, you will need a bachelor’s degree. And in order to be allowed to work in the public schools, you will ultimately need a teaching certificate. Therefore, it makes a lot of sense to get your bachelor’s degree in a field that leads to certification, such as elementary education.

At that point, you can get a job teaching in the public schools or you can move directly to your master’s program. Getting a job has two benefits: it makes money, which is nice, and it shows future employers that you are serious about education. In some master’s programs, you can take some or all of your MLIS courses online. This makes holding down a job and getting your master’s degree at the same time easier.

random forbes articles posted:

Library and information science degree-holders bring in $57,600 mid-career, on average. Common jobs for them are school librarian, library director and reference librarian, and there are expected to be just 8.5% more of them by 2020. The low pay rank and estimated growth rank make library and information science the worst master’s degree for jobs right now.

She has a Star of David necklace so I don't know if that makes her more or less likely to be homeschooled. I think crazy homeschoolers are usually Evangelical Christians. Maybe she comes from a really strict Jewish family.

I met a girl off Tinder who was 28 and had never even kissed a boy before. She didn't tell me this until I said I wasn't interested in dating her anymore. Come to find out the reason was crippling depression.

It was a real shame. She was cute, cursed like a sailor and could hold her own at the bar.

My point is, don't be someone's first anything. Nothing good ever comes of it.

I worked briefly at a company that had once published library reference books and had unsuccessfully attempted to recreate their products on a website subscription type service.

They'd once employed numerous master of library whatever people and also had once had a generous retirement pension package, and as the company slowly collapsed they kept voting each other off the island like on survivor

Hopefully in college you at some point had to write a paper on a topic where you cited other books, articles, papers, etc, about that topic to back up your claims. You ever notice how much bullshit you had to wade through to get solid citations on the topic? Well you can pay someone to do that for you and those people majored in library science. They're invaluable to people who work in academia and research. Also if you know what you're looking for but simply can't find a copy of it anywhere, they can.

Also that 'what do people notice first about you' question is ridiculous. Its never your loving eyes, ladies the first thing I notice are your tits if you are facing me.
