LucreziaBorgia Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Whatever happened to just enjoying someone's company? I guess if class and restaurant choice are dealbreakers, then move on and find someone who shares similar tastes and outlook on life and others. C'mon CadRake - I'm sure you have women dripping all over you. Just pick the one most like yourself, and go out and have a good time. If you don't then you have your three, sorry - two backup girlfriends to take up the slack.
Art_Critic Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Here's a blog post I found about Souplantation and a couple of comments: But CadRake.. you are missing the most important part.. it was a date not a food taste contest.. If you were there for a great meal only then why not go get those alone ? To me the good food or meal was the girl and because you short sighted yourself you never got the chance to see who see really was as it takes more than a few dates to see who someone is.. You are the one who lost out in this deal...you can find a good place to eat in seconds..you can't find good companionship that easy..
twice_shy Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Here's a blog post I found about Souplantation and a couple of comments: Who cares if some stupid blog shows a digust for a place you don't care for either. it doesn't change the fact that you acted like a complete jerk about it. There are plenty of places I'm sure I wouldn't care for trying them for the first time if a SO I am seeing wants to go there. But I'm not going to throw a baby fit about it and obsess over it so much that I am just itching to text her about it to tell her how lousy it was. If she asks, I'd just say, "I didn't care for it much"...I wouldn't act like a complete as$ about it.
serial muse Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Yeeeeahhh... Souplantation. Great date spot! Try it out everyone, if you're ever west of the Mississippi (or in Florida). C'mon, Cad, you know that this isn't really the point. You had already kind of painted yourself as stuck-up in your OP before anyone even saw the words "Soup Plantation." Look, you've admitted you're kind of a snob and that you were only dating this girl as a booty call, not because you respected her as a person or really wanted any kind of relationship with her. So, really now - do you think people are going to get in line behind that, pat you on the back and say "good show"? Soup Plantation or not, I'm surprised that you felt insulted. But maybe that's why you were so scathing about her in your post. At any rate, this chick obviously wasn't right for you, and you weren't right for her, so, lesson learned and moving on, right?
underpants Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 The only thing that stands out for me is that Cad is maybe a little upset that some chick that he considers...beneath him would indeed feel that Cad was not good enough for her. Ironic. Probably not the first time this has happened.

Kamille Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Cha-ching! Tell her what she's won Johnny. Why Bob, Underpants just won a date of her choice Date number 1) Fancy dinner in the company of cad, where the menu will be duck confit or salmon à la moutarde de maux on a bed of roquettes. Date number 2) Dinner at a buffet of choice, sans Cad Rake Unders, the choice is yours!

blind_otter Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 I remember while dating my exH he once took me to St. Augustine for the weekend (I absolutely love that little town!)...the hotel he brought me to was...disappointing. It was under construction, and the suite he had reserved was right above the office. I was disappointed, yes. But a little voice in my head said, come on! Look on the bright side and don't be a little bitch! So I made the best of it. Turns out I did have a good time. The suite was nicer inside than I expected, and honestly I was just there to enjoy my then-boyfriend's company and have hot sex...so I got what I wanted, in the end, by not being a little bitch about it.

Kamille Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Can I opt for what is behind door number 3? You mean a wild night of drinking and posting on LS in the company of your favorite virtual friends? All yours!
Kamille Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 :lmao: Door number three is the entrance to Nemos backdoor. Please notice that door number three options happened at the same time. Now you have to guess which one is the REAL door number three.
underpants Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Please notice that door number three options happened at the same time. Now you have to guess which one is the REAL door number three. I was hoping for a collection of soups around the World. I should have gone with door number 2. Oh well, I will gladly take my parting gifts (Nemo's behind included) and be on my way. Thanks for playing.
justpassingthrough Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 True dating is a matter of bringing the other person into the bits and pieces of our lives and, ideally, finding a fit. There is clearly no fit here. Do her a favor, Cadrake: Let it go.
mistie03 Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 I am laughing so hard reading this thread! I find it hilarious that this guy is using women for a booty call and ended up at Soup Plantation (it's soo beneath him)! :laugh:
dreamergrl Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 Anyone feel like going to Old Country Buffet with me?
indohouze Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 definately rude, i can't see how you can be so hard on a woman like that. I mean by saying what you just said you making yourself out 2 be better than her which leaves me 2 ask why did you date her in the first place.
padder83 Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 on date one and two, yous did what you had planned. i think its fair to allow her decided date 3, she didnt moan when u took her on a surprize hike or to the cheesy restaraunt did she? im a guy and i feel that you were pretty rude to her, either u want to at least try to enjoy yourself or u can turn the evening sour, it seams you decided to do the latter. i dont think she will be calling you again, that soup plantation sounds like fun. better luck next time
SpanksTheMonkey Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 (edited) Sounds like she likes the place, enjoys it, and wanted to share the experience with you. She goes there often and invited you as she was going anyway. I think you're being too harsh, a bit snobby, which isn't fair to her at all. She didn't do anything wrong, EXCEPT to assume you'd pay. Now that I think was tacky, as you say, she invited you. Aside from that, I think you were way too judgmental. It seems like a fun environment, and I don't see anything wrong with her choice. And I think you could have been a bit more tasteful about it. If I were her, I'd feel like my companion was being rude and maybe a little selfish. Don't take it personally, I'm just giving my opinion on the matter. I agree with this 110% you ever think maybe your not much to look at for her either? And maybe that plus your snobbish personality is why shes not returning your text? lol Sounds like you failed a few of her own tests with out even knowing it.. But hey its ok I have a friend who can hike for days and I'll loan her some salmon and a can of cambels to put over it wallah gourmet!! lol...hahah Edited February 3, 2008 by SpanksTheMonkey
