Call me JimmyNipples (where has he been, anyway?), but I felt the need to reply to her. I just typed it out as it came, I didn’t edit or revise it at all. > [@](#): > > Hello, Beth. A friend directed me to your ‘bitchy’ personal. “Can you believe her?” he said. I don’t think you’re a bitch. I think you have serious emotional problems and a severe underlying lack of self esteem. Do you see a psychiatrist? Most people who come off as “bitchy” simply have low self esteem and the need for constant reassurance of their self-worth by dehumanizing others. > > Putting ‘stunning’ in your header really shows your attempts to bolster your own flimsy confidence in your looks. > > Why do you ask for occupation and highest education level? To gauge earning potential? Are you afraid of not being able to support an extravegant lifestyle? > > Why do you immediately dismiss a person who emails you about the attitude in your bio as being “whiny” and “babies”? I think it’s a rather valid comment. > > You try to make yourself appear to be confident in your sexuality with the “try that in person” comment, but I think that the very fact that you have to state such a thing explains quite a bit about your lack of confidence that I’ve already mentioned. I’m not the most attractive person ever, but I don’t have to reassure myself with “people’s laughter” at someone who would _dare_ insult me. If someone doesn’t like how I look, who cares? My life doesn’t hinge on their acceptance of me. Perhaps you should give some thought to this. > > I don’t understand the need to tear down people who you are not interested in. Simply because you deem them unworthy of dealing with you does not mean that they are unworthy persons, it simply means that they do not fit your dating criteria. For example, I do not find you attractive, and would have no interest in dating you. Yet I readily admit that many, many other people likely DO find you quite attractive, and would quite like to date you. The fact that I’m not interested is irrelevant to your worth. > > I also think the constant need to reassure yourself not only about your looks, but also about the amount of time “they” spend ‘surfing and looking for women’ verses the amount of time “you” spent, just putting up ‘one single ad’ needs to be reevaluated. Why did you put the ad up in the first place? As a lark? If so, why do you require such demanding personal information? If you resort to internet dating services, you resort to internet dating services. There’s no inherent shame in that, and I don’t understand your need to create shame for persons involved. You are not ‘above’ someone because you only took ‘a few minutes’ to put up the ad, they are not ‘below’ you because they spend ‘hours’ surfing. I, for one, am quite lonely and would like companionship, but do not use the internet because going to college leaves me with no time for dating. However, if I were so inclined, I would have no problem with using the internet for dating. > > I think your reaffirmation of your time involved speaks of your inherent distrust, as well as self-doubt, about using this method. > > Now, I’m sure you shall dismiss this email as ‘weak minded’ because I’m ‘complaining’ about someone ‘I’ve never met’. I think that such a stance is a simple dismissal, that you are using as a convenience in order to not have to deal with the true impact that their words have on you. Yes, quite often the words of strangers can be very harmful. And just as often, they are unwarranted. But I think dismissing _all_ of the message because of the hurtful part can be just as devastating as being _too_ thinskinned. > > I do not think I will hear back from you, but if you would like to reply, this IS a valid email address. > > Best of wishes to you, Beth. > > –Tim ---

so how far down this do you think she’ll read? my guess is Para 5. Since we’re talking about unabridged responses to her ad, mines a wee bit shorter and less thought out (sleep depraivity and vodka will do that to me), I tend to think of her like I do the character Lucy Liu (sp?) plays on Ally McBeal, I wouldn’t date the elitest bitch but I’d F her if the opportunity was there. ---

I did some hunting on [http://love.aol.com](http://love.aol.com) , and just like Anal Mary, Beth has another personal ad there. (Just search for Asian women in Buffalo with pictures.) A wonderful quote: _I just got out of a relationship and am not looking for anything serious (not another relationship. Maybe find someone to have a nice arrangement with. I guess I am just looking for a guy to spoil me for change. I never had one of those before. I never had a guy just spoil me so I guess this is what I am looking for. My past relationships were pretty equal in the past but now I am looking for someone to do something for me. Heck, got to try something once. What I mean by spoiling is taking me out shopping and buying me expensive and well made clothing and jewelry, taking me out to fine restaurants (with the new clothing on), and other things as well._ \*Personal Thought or Quote… “I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man I keep his house.” — Zsa Zsa Gabor \* _Income: At least $100,000_ You know, after reading this I’m close to giving up on this heterosexuality thing. ☹ ---

Hi Beth, I’ve never responded to your personal before, so I hope that we can start with a tabula rasa and work from there. By the way, tabula rasa means a blank slate. I say that because, judging just by your ad, you don’t really seem like the most intelligent of girls. Also, your attractiveness is somewhat average. Please don’t get me wrong. You’re not in any way unattractive, it’s just that I’ve seen, and am used to, somewhat better. You look tahitian. Are you? It’s a lovely place. Such a fine culture there, a proud history. I’m really going to enjoy making you my bitch. See that’s what I do. It’s my profession. My life. I make personal slaves of the unwilling. Soon enough they become willing, but it’s really the process of breaking them that I enjoy the most. I enjoy how they sit there chained inside my dungeon, naked as they day they were born, begging for mercy and lapping up the swill I give them as if it were Baked Alaskan. I like the proud ones the best because they take the most time. You seem proud to me Beth. Soon you will learn to call me master. Oh that won’t be all. You’ll be calling me father, savior, and Barney the Dinosaur. Oh, I know you’re laughing now, but believe me, when you’ve been strapped down in those steel plated cuffs and have just been sodomized by a three goats hopped up on viagra, nothing will seem funny anymore. Laughing is strictly forbidden. You will call me “My lord ruler who is who he is called.” Failure to call me that will result in being thrown in the Pit of Despair. You will not speak unless spoken to. If addressed, you will always begin with “Though this slave is not worthy to be your bitch’s bitch, this slave humbly asks permission to partake of the same sonic waves that you, my lord ruler who is who he is called, does share.” Failure to reply as such will result in three swift blows with a wooden reed. You must clean my house. You will do the windows. You must make my meals. I require a three minute egg with every meal. Two minutes, fifty nine seconds is too short. Three minutes one second is too long. I will be timing. Failure to boil my egg for precisely three minutes will result in forfeiture of all rights granted to you. You will start out as Muck. That will be your title. From there you can move up to Slime. After that comes Sheep Turd followed soon after, if you’re lucky, by Wench Ho. After a decade, if I am properly pleased by your progress, you will achieve the title of “Concubine.” I look forward to our meeting soon. Please inform me as to when you are available. My guess, and I’m never far from wrong, is that it will take less than three hours to wipe that shit eating grin right off your face. ---

I believe I may have happened upon Beth’s eventual choice for a mate: “Wanted. Dead Or alive. Single White Female for prosperous long term relationship. High sex drive essential. Nice big tits & firm ass also a plus. No Fat Chicks.” The original post is at [http://www.insanehardware.com/](http://www.insanehardware.com/) , about three quarters of the way down the page, along with the poster’s e-mail. Obviously a bit of compromise is in order for the both of them, but hey, that’s what using the Internet to find companionship is all about, isn’t it? ---
