    What does that make the girls? Kittens? Ocelots? Minxes? I can't understand articles about love and dating unless guided by a feline metaphor.

    These days it's so Har(var)d to find your Prince(ton) charming. Sometimes it makes me want to Yale at someone. I just have all of this Pennt up anger. I mean sure smart liberal arts college boys get Brownie points but I came all the way from England to catch an Ivy boy. Just when I think I've caught one they always seem to Dart(mouth) away. I go to bars and all I get are Corn(ell)y lines. Well, at least I got quoted in that Column(bia) in the Times.

    @the dodo, the cuckoo, and the nene: AWESOME! Every boyfriend I had in college (with the exception of the British and French guys I dated during my semester abroad) was what I described. And it was awesome. No pretention and my only real relationship concession was accepting that they will watch any sport so long as it is on ESPN.

    Nah, I'll stick with the Brits, thanks. I love being at Cambridge - it's one of only two universities in the world where a guy can walk around in skinny jeans, brogues, raybans, a tweed jacket and a matriculation gown and get away with it.

    So thanks very much, ladies, but I'm happy with what I've got. Keep your Ivies :)

    Of course, none of the three girls that the Times interviewed in order to concoct this trend piece also happened to be ambitious, type As, because girlies don't need to be like that to get into the Ivies. /sarcasm

    This article implying that ambitious, intellectual 18-year-old girls just want to chase men will be shortly followed by another article berating ambitious, intellectual, former Ivy League and Oxbridge women for not settling down by the age of 30 and having babies instead of a career. And telling them that it's their fault if their husbands are unfaithful.

    The Times used to be a great newspaper...

    @bowleserised: it only seems complicated coming from the UK, but don't waste time worrying about it. Once you buy your insurace (AOK or TK are good, but otherwise whatever your employer recommends), just show up - they'll usually even take you without an appointment - pay 10 euros, and basta :-).

    France, on the other hand...

They advertised themselves as English-speaking though, which is why I went (I mean wtf is the German for operculum, you know what I mean?).

    I hope these Brit ladies are ready for some world class mansplaining. Because every single Ivy League dude I've ever met is a Mansplainer of Olympian talent.

    And it's not inter-personally attractive.

    So nice to see that they're letting RT08, the little robot who learned how to love, rework their articles.

    All this proves is that when something similar happens to three rich white guys, it's called a trend.

    When it happens to three of my friends, it's called a spree.
