Here’s why Single Women Rule Los Angeles!


SWR Los Angeles founder Vanessa Torres launched her event series in June.  Here’s her post on the first Single Women Rule LA event, from her blog ThatHappenedtome.com
As you guys know, I am the LA Chapter president of SingleWomenRule.com.  What that means exactly, is that I host events for single women professionals in the area.  Tuesday was our launch event and I could not be happier with the way things went.  I invited a bunch of women who I had “met” previously through various channels – some at networking events, and some online – and invited them out to meet, share ideas and generally commiserate about what it’s like to be a working women in this town.  We not only found we had lots in common, but we were psyched to discover we all had complimentary interests and resources despite diverse professional backgrounds.  But most importantly, we were all willing to share our ideas and information.  Exactly the kind of environment I was hoping to create. 
After about 2 1/2 hours, the restaurant wanted to close, so we packed it up and promised to do it again next month.  I am so excited that I am already planning it.  So to those of you who came – thank you for driving out and making room in your busy schedules – and for those of you who couldn’t make it, we will see you next time.  There’s always room at the table at Single Women Rule.

Your boyfriend wanted to go dancing with 2 friends who were over for his birthday party. You didn’t want to go unless they went to a bar that was closer. Your boyfriend didn’t think the girls would want to switch location so he didn’t ask them. You tell him to go ahead and go. You were visibly upset when he left. Why didn’t you just go with them? The cleaning up could wait. You weren’t going to be studying if you went to a closer bar, so why should the location matter? You say you were very angry because he came home late and drunk. No, you had been pissed for hours because he didn’t pick up the cue you didn’t want him to go…even though you told him to!
All the repeated quizzing him about dancing, calling up one of the girl’s to quiz her about it – all sounds jealous and irrational in light of the fact you didn’t know about your boyfriend’s “near miss” with his friend at the time. You found that out days later.
You’ve been together 2 years now – why don’t you trust him? Has he done things that were untrustworthy? Given you any reason to think he was cheating, or sniffing in that direction? Why were you so angry he went dancing with these women instead of staying home with you? If you thought something ‘might happen’ I have to wonder why you didn’t go with them, or ask him not to go. Has he accused you of being jealous for no reason before? Were you trying to be the “cool” girlfriend by telling him to go even though you didn’t want him to?
I suspect there are issues here that go far beyond the fact he came close to sleeping with a married friend before you started dating. Further, I believe even if he ended this friendship he’s had since he was 12, the issues would still be there. After 2 years together and marriage on the table, you really need to address those issues whether they are his, yours, or a combination.
