Looking for love in Alderaan places

By not4geeks - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I went out on a first date with a cute guy. Turns out we won't be going on a date again because I didn't know the difference between "Star Wars" and "Star Trek." FML

How do you not know the difference? YDI. I'm a girl, and I'd dump you for that. It's proof positive that your interests clash.

Well, if it was an interest of his, and you had 0 interest, not even enough to know the difference, it's better that you two don't go out again, you just aren't compatible.

People who don't know the difference between Star Trek and Star Wars don't deserve bad things to happen to them... I think some of the people commenting on this one are missing that, lmao.

Nothing bad happened to her. She wasn't dumped, she just didn't get a second date. Read number 379: "Well, if it was an interest of his, and you had 0 interest, not even enough to know the difference, it's better that you two don't go out again, you just aren't compatible."

You don't? How? They're just...not the same thing at all? Like Highlander and How High? or Lost Highway and Lost Boys. Or Sunshine and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Or First Blood and Bloodrayne. Or.... you get the idea.

#382 we are all thinking that right now How can this even be permitted in todays society...a girl not knowing the differnce between star wars and star trek.I mean its ok for her not to know anything much about either but........ FFS! YDI

You make Trekkie Obama sad. I mean, come on. I wouldn't agree to a second date with you. I don't know a great deal about either, but I can tell the difference. Any idiot can. One was a TV show first, the other wasn't. One has fuckyeahwilliamshatner, the other has fuckyeahharrisonford. The plots are COMPLETELY different.

Top Ten Reasons Why Star Wars Characters are Better: 10. In the Star Wars Universe weapons are rarely, if ever, set on "stun". 9. The Enterprise needs a huge engine room with an anti-matter unit and a crew of 20 just to go into warp -- The Millannium Falcon does the same thing with R2-D2 and a wookie. 8. After resisting the Imperial torture droid and Darth Vader, Princess Leia still looked fresh -- After pithy Cardassian starvation torture, Picard looked like hell. 7. One word: Lightsaber 6. Darth Vader could choke the entire Borg empire withone glance 5. The Death Star doesn't care if a world is "M" class or not. 4. Luke Skywalker is not obsessed with sleeping with every alien he encounters 3. Jabba the Hutt would eat Harry Mudd for trying to cut in on his action. 2. The Federation would have to attempt to liberate any ship named "Slave I" 1. Picard pilots the Enterprise through asteroid belts at one-quarter impulse power --- Han Solo floors it.

I've been dating my boyfriend for about four years now. If he didn't know anything about Star Wars or Star Trek I would never have given him a second look. Star Wars has been my life since day one. For someone to not even know the difference blows my mind.

she is either very young or has been living under a rock for the past 25 years
