Have you ever been

[ZaraJah]

In a relationship where you were ashamed of your "person"?

Scenario: You've been invited to a corporate event and are free to bring along...someone. Your "someone" is a blue-collar worker who haven't quite grasped the finer points of social decorum. You are a bit concerned not only for you and your rep but for perhaps placing him in what can be viewed as a hostile situation, especially by the unexposed to corporate cut-throaters.

Would you still invite him along, and view this experience as a form of "lesson" or would you invite someone else who would "fit in" more easily?

Re: Have you ever been

I'd ask him if he wanted to go. I would be concerned that he wouldnt have a good time. If I am with him, then the fact that I choose to be with him (not grasping the finer points of social decorum), is all that matters in my book. If he says he would like to go with me...then we are there.

Re: Have you ever been

weh yuh fine him back a cow?

I don't really care what people think of the person I'm with. My happiness is what counts.

If my man works a blue collar job and makes me happy then hell yes I am taking him out and I dare one *&^$(er to say something about him.

I've seen enough realtionship formed based on status, color and job, right now for the little time I have left on earth my goal is to make Marie happy and to hell with what anyone thinks.

Re: Have you ever been

well good for the whole a unno...I on the other hand am a very shallow person. And if I am going to a corporate function where I will be representing the company that pays my bills I am not going to take someone who will not be able to conduct themself appropriatly for the situation. (regardless of wether he is blue collar or white collar) for the record I know blue collar workers with more social skills than some presidents of companies
