Re: What are regional cultural differences in the USA?

Here in Portland, I used to have a friend from Boston. She was gay, and also pretty shy, but finally she got a date with a nice girl and we were all very happy for her. Afterward, we asked her "So, how'd it go?" and she shook her head sadly and said "Not gonna work. She broke the first rule: you never underdress for the first date."

We just stared at her in dismay. The idea that that's a rule, that it's the FIRST rule, that it's somehow a DEALBREAKER*... it was gibberish. We all realized that if that was the OS she was running, she was just never going to get laid in this town.

Lest anyone be too saddened, she's back in Boston now, among her own kind, and doing really well.



*The "Dealbreaker" subplot on 30 Rock, and in fact the entire worldview and ethos expressed in every episode of 30 Rock, is also a good example.
