Have you ever read the blogs "Overheard in ____?" If not, check 'em out. I'll wait.
Oh, goodie, you are back.
I was walking on campus today when I heard the following exchange between two young women about a young man they had met:
Girl 1: Yeah I want an LL Bean backpack, I heard they last forever.
Girl 2: Me too.
Girl 2: So I met this guy the other day ... and he had a Buzz Lightyear backpack.
Girl 1: Uh huh (snorted incredulously)
Girl 2: And I was like, dude, you are a 25 year old man, what woman would date you with that backpack?
Girls 1 & 2: *snorting laughter*
***************************
And so here is a rule for all you young men returning to campus. No woman thinks you are cute wearing your Buzz Lightyear backpack. Likely they think you: a) stole it from your much-younger brother, b) got it from your Mom in 3rd grade and can't bear to break her heart about not using it now, or c) are a pedophile and not to be trusted. Please note: not one of these options say "date me now."
