<p>Scipio <a href="http://vastright-wingconspiracy.blogspot.com/2005/12/why-men-should-never-be-friends-with.html" title="Why men should never be friends with women they're sexually interested in">writes</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>This is roughly&hellip; equivalent&hellip; to a job interview and the company saying, You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we&rsquo;re not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we&rsquo;re going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn&rsquo;t work out, we&rsquo;ll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired.</p> </blockquote> <p>Funnily enough, I think this actually has happened to me on both the job <em>and</em> romantic markets.</p> http://blog.lordsutch.com/archives/3135 http://blog.lordsutch.com/atom.cgi/entryid=3135
