Snooty Writer for Snooty NY Observer Snoots it Up at Union Pool, Gets Lonely

Note: Writer not pictured here, nor in any proximity to fun or conversation elsewhere.

And she wrote an article about it. It chronicles her "experiment", which is evidently going to Union Pool alone (in a '"frilly dress") and lamenting that the social mores of the fifties are long gone. Because nobody talks to her.

A cursory glance at Craigslist's missed connections section proves that many 25- to 35-year-olds, especially recent transplants, don't necessarily have the stones to introduce themselves in person.

I guess that includes luminaries from the NY Observer. Also:

Rarely are Brooklyn's local watering holes a place to meet new people these days. The age-old complaint of post-college social isolation was now fresh in my mind.

Indeed. An age old complaint perhaps best remedied by actually opening your pretentious yapper and talking to someone who isn't busy postulating nonexistent social phenomena. And seriously. Anyone out there who's made an acquaintance or two at a bar in Williamsburg, raise your hand. Thought so.

Does every woman who has bad luck dating have to write about it and make us read it? Carrie Bradshaw wannabes need to find a new topic or a new city.
