That girl at the bar.

Good lord. Girls I know in the metro section too? My life has jumped the shark.

Allison… whose first job in the city was in publishing, often skipped dinner before going out, and instead took along mixed salted nuts in her purse. When things got really tight, she occasionally sneaked a flask filled with vodka into bars. Other times, she reluctantly resorted to flirting.
“I find in other cities guys are more apt to buy you drinks and expect nothing from it,” Ms. Mooney said.
“Here, if they do buy you a drink, which is rare, you have to suffer through flirtations. It’s true,” she said, adding, “It’s really cheesy.

For the record, Miss Mooney is completely lovely in real life and nothing all like the woman the article makes her out to be. She lacks a filter between her thoughts and her words, however. I find this trait to be endearing.
