Pleasanton is a bland, boring upper-middle class suburb, where everyone lives in ludicrous McMansions, drives luxury European cars, and the kids have 5,000 extracurricular activities. Everything is very clean. The town mall, Stoneridge, had a reputation in the 90's for being the most upscale mall for miles. The sun is always shining (literally).
In other words, Pleasanton is Stepford, Bay Area-style. You may never again see such a high concentration of Stepford-ness in California (right down to voting Republican!).
Perhaps the only difference from Stepford-land is the diversity. Pleasanton was a haven for rich, Republican WASPs in the 80's and 90's. Now the town is dominated by Jewish, East Asian and Indian millionaires.

Foothill High Kid: I wanted to organize a charity event with the kids over in Oakland, but when I emailed our principal about it, the whole administration reacted in horror.
Foothill High Mom: I would hope so. We would never allow you to mix with kids from Oakland and I'm glad the school understands that!
Foothill High Kid: Mom, you sound like all the other Stepford wives in Pleasanton, CA.
(based on a true story. Yes, really.)

Get the Pleasanton, CA mug.A woman who tries to impress men by denigrating her own gender while lauding the male gender, in an attempt to gain what she sees as "male power"-by-association.

Get the pleaserwhore mug.Related Words
A day at Blackpool Pleasure Beach is a dangerous sex act. The participants visit a beach when the tide is coming in. One participant is buried in the sand near the sea so that only their head is visible. The other participant proceeds to masturbate whilst looking at their face. In order to assist the masturbator, the buried participant usually makes sexy faces at them. These faces become increasingly desperate as the tide begins to sweep around their head. The aim of the game is to ensure that the masturbator comes before the tide engulfs the buried participant. Once the masturbator has come, he/she will help to dig out and free the buried participant. The game is played by those who are aroused by risk and desperation.

Get the Pleaverage mug.Someone who's always nice, helpful and a basic moral support for just about anyone. Suppresses his (or her) own needs in order to please or satisfy (the needs of) others. The people's pleaser won't bother you with his or her own needs and problems, as this person is too keen on helping out others.
Great danger of being used (in the negative way)!!
In fact this is what girls should look for in a guy when looking for proper/stable "relationship material" (I guess), however, in some way this hardly ever results in a woman being either physically or sexually attracted. A people's pleaser is more likely to be put in the friends zone straight away, without even being considered dating material. Obviously this also works the other way around, where the girl is in the pleaser's role. But, as a fact, guys won't put the "pleaser" girls in a confined area called the friends zone as easily as girls would.
Closely related to being a nice guy, and unfortunately is as probable to lead to one-sided relationships. Where all the empathy and consideration comes merely from the people's pleaser, and for the good of the other person.

"Harry is suchs a nice guy, he's just a people's pleaser."
"Thanks for helping me out again, Mary, as always, you are too kind!"
After dating a girl for a while, she might tell you that:
"You're too good for me, you're such a people's pleaser. I see you as a friend/brother, rather than someone I'm physically or sexually attracted to."

Get the People's pleaser mug.What a teacher says to a student who is well-liked. Not just anyone gets told this at the end of the year. Most teachers who say this know you well enough to look at you as a person whom has made an impact on them, not just another face in the crowd that they get paid to teach.
