“Hey babe! Hubba hubba!” “Mind your own business!” I find this an odd definition of “minding ones own business”, and I was disappointed by how the initial hypothesis of this being related to Jesus Christ was not touched upon again in the main body of the paper. ---

> [@naita](#): > > … I was disappointed by how the initial hypothesis of this being related to Jesus Christ was not touched upon again in the main body of the paper. Yeah. The first sentence referenced Jesus, the penultimate sentence charity, and everything in between was apparently based on the OP’s overwhelming personal attractiveness. ---

Ah, the stupid mental girl posts again. She’s the one who complained [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=718154) about unintelligent black men constantly speaking there [sic] deepest thoughts on her level of beauty. We need a better rolleyes emoticon. ---

I’m mystified where this is coming from. The OP didn’t mention anything about online stalkers, not did she mention politics. So why the reference to the Koch brothers? ---

Mind my own business, Ma’am? You may want to think that over again in case you might have a flat tire, and don’t know what to do about it, or your cell phone’s battery has unexpectedly gone dead, and you can’t get it recharged where you are, or your purse has been stolen…then you may wish someone else minded your business, however you look. ---

Wow, this post is even stupider than the OP. Look, there’s a difference between someone in the situations you describe asking for help, and you going up to random people and saying, “Ma’am? It looks like you’ve lost your purse. How can I help?” Think about it, if possible. ---

I’m thinking the “intellect” part isn’t so strong with this one. Would you draw the below conclusion? > [@la\_fille\_intellectuelle](#): > > Eventually (like after several BLOCKS) this creep got the message that he had no chance & asked for my phone number. Yup. I’ve gotten the message through to this weirdo soooooo much that he… _asked for my number!_ Woohoo! I’m such a badass at fending off unwanted advances. Go me! ---

Right. People are hitting on the OP and asking for her phone number because they’re trying to be “helpful.” Gotcha. **Dougie** , are you an extraterrestrial? ---

I dunno, if this initial interaction were happening in a rom-com, we’d call it “meeting cute.” Could be fun to see where this leads us. 😃 ---

Or perhaps they think you can explain the experience of being irresistibly attractive. They certainly can’t learn anything about it from me. Regards, Shodan ---
