Personally I think the gent in questions has some serious self-image issues.

I work with/around State Dept wonks, and as necessity need to go to various embassies. Inevitably I get to talking with some up and coming Foggy Bottom hottie. The talk runs to the "What do you do" part.

When I say I am a DoD GS15, their eyes get all sparkly etc. Even when I say I am married for 20 years the look continues. When they get specific about my job and they learn I carry a gun for a living I get the "Oh, that's nice".

Now keep in mind I could give a rodent's donkey what the vapid twit thinks of me, my line of work, my choice of shoes or anything else, but it is amusing.

I fail to see why the guy was so upset over a recation of some chick who will have ZERO impact on his life.
