I don’t actually watch Masterpiece Theatre, but I looked it up and it does seem like they have some good programming. I will have to see if I can catch some of it online or via my library.

Re: Jane Austen, I must confess I’ve never finished any of her books, although I’ve watched nearly all of the movie adaptations and love Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility (I have a little girlcrush on Elinor Dashwood), and Emma. I have a terrible time wading through 19th century literary verbiage.

As for bars and clubs, I avoided them like the plague unless I was dragged with friends. I didn’t go to frat parties either; I didn’t like them and I didn’t feel very safe at them. I also didn’t show to advantage next to flashier girls. I think it is very true what men on this board say about women ignoring nice guys, but men also overlook lots of women as well and many of them have more to offer than a good time. The peacocky types of both sexes suck up most of the spotlight, I suppose. Also, most of us are unable to view the SMP and our own situations objectively. I know I often felt wallflowerish next to other girls, but looking back I can see that I either did not notice/ignored good guys who could have been great relationship material or made myself unavailable (via studying/working/shunning the club scene) because I just wasn’t ready for a LTR yet. I was willing not to date rather than be pushed into situations that offered little appeal or were too costly/dangerous, but I resented that I wasn’t getting the attention girls who were up for STR’s or hookups got. That really wasn’t fair of me.
