Could you/Would you date an aggy

Could you or have you dated an aggy?

Just curious as to what the response would be. I'm not dating an aggy but eventually wouldn't mind it.

Depends.

About ten years ago I moved into my current residence. Upon meeting my over the backyard fence neighbor, a seemingly cute gal about my age, we exchanged greetings, first meeting info, etc.

It wasn't but about 3 sentences into this ritual that she identified herself as an aggy, strongly so, and asked if I was a "tea sip."

Her face seemed to change in appearance as Chancellor Palpatine's did in his battle with Mace Windu as she made this point and asked about my allegiance.

A real koolaid drinker. Never had much to do with her since; I'm guessing she pees muriatic acid and drowns puppies for a hobby. She since moved away, probably to work as a low level manager at a sweat shop for illegal aliens making kids' toys with lead paint.

OTOH, if a gal just happened to go to A&M (a good school in many disciplines), even if she supports the school, but doesn't go around "whooping" and swinging a kitchen towel over her head, etc., then go for it.
 
Excellent post, blonthang.

King,
Sorry dude... but this is a really dumb question. If you meet the right girl it doesn't really matter where she went to school. You might find a higher percentage of 'right' girls at UT... but if you find that hidden gem in college station... go for it.

The older you get, the more you realize there is much more to life than school rivalries...
 
I've dated an Aggie girl, and it wasn't bad at all.

I also briefly flirted with dating a t-shirt Aggie girl, and that was a lot like masturbating with a cheese grater.
 
I have. She seemed normal for most of the year. The closer the Texas-aggy game got, the weirder she became. Then the bonfire collapsed, we argued over it, and then we never spoke again.

After that I concluded that I'd have to do a background check before dating aggy again. The result: I have not dated aggy since the bonfire collapse in 1999. I have had, er, relations with a couple of aggy since, but no dating. Now that I'm getting married, it looks highly unlikely that I will ever date aggy again.

Can it be done successfully? Yes, but it's difficult. It's not like dating a chick from Texas Tech or Baylor or SMU, or even 0U. aggy are just so...aggy.
 
I've dated 2 aggy.

No matter how they act at first, no matter what they say intially about not drinking the Kool-Aid - it always, always eventually shines through.

It is an inescapable fact.

It is also always something you tell your self you can deal with, or live with, or that she isn't/won't be as bad as most of them. But in the end, more often than not, they will start in at some point with the usual remarks and behavior intrinsic to the brainwashing of the culture.

What sealed it for me, in both instances, was that I knew that if we had kids, she would at some point, even perhaps subtly, attempt to sell them on all that is aggy. I found the thought of little aggy running around my house unappealing.

I know there are/will be those chiming in that it works fin for their family. So be it. But it's not something I could bear for the rest of my life.

My $.02.
 
Must admit some aggy are pretty, but the thought of aggy offspring running around my house...I'd rather eat the crotch off a dead camel.
 
There are two kinds of A&M grads.

The kind that never stop drinking the kool-aid and the kind that are now embarrassed about all the aggy antics. By 25, most normal girls fall into the latter. Especially the ones that went to grad school somewhere outside of college station.
 
If they have no interest in sports and supporting aggy athletics maybe.

But, then again, who the hell would want to date a woman with no interest in sports?
 
Currently dating a Trojan who also happens to be a diehard Yankees fan from the Bronx. Sometimes it's annoying as all hell, but at least she's a sports fan....

But to agree with most of the above posters, A&M grads are still Texas girls (miles ahead of the rest of the country). As long as she left the koolaid in college station....
 
I was engaged to sooner once. Ended shortly after the 1992 TX-OU game. Let's just say, her true sooner colors came out. She's now on her third marriage. Me? I'm married to one of her staffers from our HS newspaper....we all 3 went to the same school. Made for an icy meet n greet at our last HS reunion.
 
I married one but despite her dad being a die hard Aggie (and grad) she is/was a 2%. We started dating her 5th year at A&M (5 year PPA gig). When we played there in 2005, she wore a burnt orange shirt. She wore orange again here in 2006 but she didn't go with me in 2007. She wears burnt orange more than she does maroon but that is also b/c we live in Austin and it is easier to get to UT stuff.

We are going to the UT/A&M baseball game there on Saturday in May. She told me she is going to wear an A&M shirt, I told her that's fine by me.
 
Fied, your situation sounds a lot like mine (even down to the PPA part).

My girlfriend grew up in Austin and wears orange/cheers for UT at long as they don't play A&M (I, however, have not and will not return that favor). She was even a 'Lady Shorthorn' for the women's basketball team when she was 8 or 9 (or whatever the little helpers who got water for the players were called)

However, we've attended the last two Thanksgiving games together and I told her immediately after the game last November that we will not be attending the 2008 game together.
 
I went out on some dates with a former dance team member and there were no issues.
We gave each other a hard time about the schools, but that was about it.
Dated a few Sooners as well. They are mostly Texas girls who just wanted out of town.
