Placed here because “pointing and laughing at the crazy lady on the internet” is entertaining and quasi-media related.
About 5 years back (before the “Peter Pan is looking for his Tinkerbell” guy got noticed here, there were a series of threads about some…um…hyper-obsessed woman who was a-huntin’ fer a date (not crazy) but had a list of requirements for dating behavior that was just fucking psycho.
These are paraphrases, but pretty close ones:
You had to send her an e-mail that had so many sentences.
…a) You had to answer a specific list of questions in a VERY specific order. You miss one…BZZZT. Out.
…b) You had to meet a number of VERY exacting requirements. And it was an “all or nothing” deal–you were either a flaxen (not golden or tawny) haired, hazel eyed, left handed guy who weighed between 205 and 215 lbs and was within one inch of 6 feet tall either direction with NO facial hair or you failed.
Then, if you passed, she’d send you another e-mail. That would have more specific questions. Essay format
If you passed that, you would go to the bonus round where you would chose from one of her pre-approved list of dating ideas and explain why you chose it. Also you would give her a list of x number of acceptable times.
If you passed all these hurdles, she would give you a phone number–hers. You would call it at such-and-such time and leave a voice message accepting the date.
On the way to pick her up for your date (I remember this bit specifically and I’m hoping others will too) you would be required to call her 15 minutes from her house (and, I think, from a specific phone booth so she could verify that you were indeed 15 minutes away)
and it went on from there. I vaguely recall that the poster who posted here about her was a radio personality and discussed her on his show.
I really want to reread the thread that was posted about it here.
Anyone remember it? Have a link to it? Or to her site? I’m also curious if she ever found Mr. Perfect.
I think I remember who you mean - or someone similar, at least. Her name was Mary and I htink the name of her site was “Mary Romantic”. She also made a big deal about being an atheist but yet also made it clear that she had no interest in having sex before marriage with whoever she wound up dating (though I believe she was in her 50s and already had been married and divorced).
I did try to find her site again a few years ago, out of curiosity about how it ever ended, but it appeared that she had taken it down.
heh thanks for that. I just read most of that to my wife. We were both laughing and saying you could change the title to “Dom woman seeks male into orgasm denial” and not have to alter any of the text.
Here is the last paragraph of her ‘marriage vows’
“I give up my right to make any decisions or choices that would prevent me from fulfilling all that I’ve promised. My commitment to fulfill all of my promises will always be greater than any other personal sense of my own happiness, freedom, self-esteem, or needs. It will always be greater than any other sense of what I think is best for myself, for you, or for our relationship.”
Tell me with a few alterations if that’s not right out of a bondage contract?
Its gotta be easier to get a doctorate in quantum physics jump all those hurdles successfully.
Nothing wrong with getting what you want, but good gawd…most peoples motto would be “shoot for the moon”, her’s must be "shoot for the edge of the observable universe "…
“My Internet search hasn’t been working as well as I thought that it probably would work as a way to find a mate. Men hardly ever send me the special e-mail I request at my site, so I rarely meet anyone as a result of this endeavor. As of the last major update to this article, it had been more than eleven months since I’d met anyone who found me on the Internet.”
I think it’s amusing that in one of her 2002 updates, she admitted that she is still looking for the love of her life. Funny, it seems to me that she had found the love of her life and it was her.
