Yes, maybe she over drinks and passes out because of boredom CatMor Mar 2018 #8
Much more likely these days, she passes out b/c of a drug in her drink. dixiegrrrrl Mar 2018 #12

boring is a major fail early on, but eventually there's a long line of women who got burned by "interesting", and boring becomes a big selling point!

So, back in June '78, i'm on a date and went to a different club with this girl. Found out the usual club we went to was cooler so we packed it in and went there.

She worked at a bank and we ran into a co-worker who was a teacher that worked summers at that bank. Sat down with her and her date, and after about 20 minutes i found her WAY(!) more interesting than the one i was with. I remember thinking to myself "I want this one!"

Well, i married her. In 1980.

passed out in a bar restroom on our first date (company party) - and a female co-worker took her home!

I don't know about the women, but men's standards have certainly changed!
