This happened awhile ago with a guy I met on Craigslist. And while it never got past the first date I learned some lessons from the experience.
The post said something about looking for a snarky girl and since that is exactly how I describe my sense of humor I started emailing with the guy. Even from his emails I could tell he liked to talk about himself a lot.
He had just moved to Maui and I informed him that I was born and raised here. The emailing wasn't great but I decided to meet him for coffee.
While chatting over coffee he started going off on politics in Hawaii. While I agree there are political issues unique to Hawaii I still feel like someone who just moved here doesn't have the right to insult our politicians or political system. But that was just the start.
He then made a comment about if he ever had kids he'd move back to the mainland because the public school system in Hawaii is so awful. This is after I had already informed him that I was born and raised here.
So not only was he an outsider insulting Hawaii he was directly insulting me and my education. While I agree that the public school system could use some help, I have always been very proud of the education I received at public schools in Hawaii.
Needless to say I never spoke to him again after that date.
Oh, and he also had a tattoo of a fairy. On his shoulder. A very badly drawn tattoo. Weird.
