I’m trying really hard to believe that someone who doesn’t like her signed her up with that account so that her email would be bombarded with messages from people bitching about her ad. Sadly, I’m not having much success because I’ve known to many girls who have to be bitches to feel good about themselves.
Gee, an awful lot of people in this thread who don’t have girlfriends, significant others, or even remote prospects sure have pretty strong opinions as to this woman’s state of mind and desirability. Hope you’re proud of yourselves.
It’s funny that she seems to think she can put up an ad like that and Mr. Right is gonna come along. Talk about a bad first impression!
BTW, Homer, Enderw23, want some electronic beer??
Ender, once again you have completely justified my nomination of you as the SDMB Comedy King!
I like how she complains about people who are such losers they call her a bitch, saying how they have nothing but Rosey Palm…yet she is desparate enough to advertise for a date on the internet, fercryingoutloud!
Sheesh!
Gee, it’s nice of you to come in here and hand out unwarranted slams to everyone involved. And I’m glad that in doing so, you showed strong emotional maturity by avoiding cheap shots. Hope you’re proud of yourself.

She’s just looking for someone to abuse to make herself feel better about how shitty a self image she has.
OK, Homer. Personally, I think that sending a lengthy, critical armchair psychoanalysis via e-mail to a person you’ve never met, are not interested in dating and wouldn’t even know existed if some other loser hadn’t posted a link on a message board is about as emotionally immature a cheap shot as one can get.
The funny thing is that if her ad had instead been something posted by one of the female SDMBers in the Pit, you’d all be there telling her how right on she was in the hopes of garnering some flirtation out of it.
The woman pretty much insulted anyone who read her ad. I never quite get the idea behind going on the internet to insult people who surf the internet. She posted an ad on an internet dating service and insulted those that do check out the internet dating services. She had to audacity to call herself stunning, when clearly, she may not be the height of beauty for everyone.
I’m not sure what kind of replies she was expecting, but I don’t think that Homer’s reply was out of bounds. Ender’s reply was far more disturbing.
Homer- this is normal behavior for PLDennison. Don’t sweat it. Just smile and remember- he can smell fear.
I’m going to back up pldennison on this one. The idea behind his comment, if not his word selection.
Just because many of you don’t like the game she is playing there was quite a bit of unfounded psychoanalysis of her personal problems.
She’s playing the top/dom. If you don’t want to be the bottom then just ignore her. As I said in chat last night, if I were in the right mood I would probably enjoy hooking up with her for a weekend.
As for the people saying she isn’t that good looking, put those same pictures on the People Pages and half of the men here (and a quarter of the women) would be ejaculating all over one of the crush threads (figuratively speaking, of course).
My, all I can say is that reading the letters of Homer and Ender definitely made my day. Thank you, boys.
Oh, and pldennison, you asked why anyone would want to write a lengthy e-mail to someone that they never even considered dating? Well, try this. it’s entertaining.
This girl was a complete and utter bitch, and made it quite clear that she was, so Homer, Ender, and all the others decided to give her what for. Good for them. Ender’s was hilarious, and Homer’s might actually teach her something, if all the wording doesn’t make her head explode after the first paragraph.
So, I’ll give you the same response that I would give to our friend Beth, should I ever meet her in person, God forgive. Lighten up. You both take yourselves too seriously.
-Jester, who, for your info, already has an SO, so HA!

Loser? Excuse me … you don’t even know me. I only wish I could plonk messages posted by certain individuals on Web-based bullatin boards the way I can on Usenet. Remind me never to read a thread that you start.
If you like Beth so much, why don’t you move to Buffalo, give her some trinkets, and become her love slave, okay?
After reading this thread and the link:
::double lotus::
/Mantra/ Thank you God for my husband! Thank you God for my husband! Oooommmmmmmm /end mantra/
I’ll let the teeming hundreds know when, or if, I receive a reply from her.
FTR, I liked Homer’s response. Personally I don’t think she deserved the time he put into that, but I also don’t think that it was wrong of him to do that. If the assumptions he made were unwarranted, they certainly weren’t over the top.
Personally, I think anyone who puts personal ads on the 'Net insulting those who SURF the 'Net does have some problems. Maybe she needs to see a therapist, but Homer’s email doesn’t seem out of bounds.
Ender’s email…well, I admit I laughed at it. I’m female, so maybe I should sympathize with Beth, but I really can’t see myself being so down on myself that I have to be a total bitch to make myself feel better.
She’s very pretty. So what?
No one said she was ugly. She’s not-she’s very attractive. It was just her attitude-I’m so hot and so wonderful and you people should just get down on your knees and thank whatever God you worship that I deemed you worthy of my time…
Etc etc…
I gotta go with pld & obfus on this one. What I see is someone either playing a game or being remarkably up-front about what she wants. She says she isn’t looking for a husband or even a serious relationship. She’s placing a classified ad stating that she only wants a particular thing, so don’t bother to reply if you don’t meet the requirements. That’s the whole point of a an ad. Clearly, she is unable to winnow out the sorts of guys she has no interest in by being nice, so she’s coming right out with what she does and does not want. But don’t take it personally, for krissakes.
I mean, if you’re a guy who only wants a 23-year-old red haired contortionist with long legs, huge breasts, a lot of expendable cash, for fun and games, you’d be an idiot to say you are looking for someone with a nice personality for long walks by the beach with an eye toward marriage. If you write a classifed ad asking seeking a '65 fire-engine red Mustang in mint condition with no more than 20K miles on the original engine, most people are going to assume that if they are trying to sell a '94 Honda Civic with 65K miles, they shouldn’t bother calling.
I’ve known plenty of males and females who wanted the equivalent of what this girl is asking for, and were just as blunt in their own ways. Few would have ever committed it to writing, and might have been shocked if they did and then read it back to themselves. But yeah, I’ve known guys who wanted a certain look to their girlfriends and had no interest in personality, and girls who think they deserve to be pampered and spoiled and sheltered just because they were cute. I didn’t like these people, but there are plenty of them out there looking for each other.
Besides, if you were seriously thinking of answering a personal ad, wouldn’t you rather find out what someone is looking for up front rather than after spending $150 and a lot of time on a date? Better than showing up and having some ass look you over and decide you are too fat, too thin, don’t dress right, drive the wrong sort of car, etc. I think it’s a good thing that people should be so honest and straight-forward about themselves. You might feel pity for them, but you can also feel relief that they are holding up a big “stay away” sign.
Actually, it reminds me of the crushing psychoanalysis I sent to that jesus.com guy…talk about egos!
Homer-excellent judge of character. Ender-ROTFLMMFAOPIMP
I must disagree on this one. I think that it’s one thing to state what you want, it’s totally another to give a “holier then thou” attitide and put down every person who views your ad. She went way out of her way to try and tear down anyone she could. That was totally not necassary and just made her look bitchy. Methinks she took it a little to far.

Whoa! What is ROTFLMMFAOPIMP? I got Rolling on the floor laughing… but MMFAOPIMP? Holy Moly!
