> [@Sweetums](#): > > Yep, the last time she actually used the phrase “even if (Sweetums) gets hit by a bus, you have no chance.” Funny thing you should mention him being stupid. One of his favorite come-ons is to tell women that they should have sex with him because he feels that “intelligent people should breed.” So far as I can tell, he does not seem to be showing very many signs of intelligence. I dunno. IMO, she (and you) should just ignore him. Like was said upthread, if he calls, hang up. It seems to me that any response is feeding his ardor. As to the come on: lousy beat, impossible to dance to–it rates a -10. ---

Last night I gave some suggestions from my friend, but I never said what I’d do. **Sweetums** , here’s what I’d say to the guy if I were in a position to do so. “Look, you hit on women who aren’t available. When you do get a woman to go out with you, you cheat on her, and, in general, you treat women like dirt. You say you think intelligent people should breed. Why on earth would any woman with more brains than a kitten think a guy like you with your track record is worth dating? You’re right. The lady is intelligent. That’s why she wants nothing to do with a guy like you. Ever.” I can even hear you saying this, just like you’d dress down me if you found me being that stupid. Of course, I figure the odds of this working are somewhat less than the odds of me becoming a white scarf this year, but it could be very satisfying to say it. **Sweetums** , I’m glad you’ve found someone, and I hope she’s worthy of you. I wish you much joy and happiness, especially once you’ve got rid of the twit! CJ ---

> [@eleanorigby](#): > > You want to become a white scarf? Or is there a word missing? I’m assuming “White Scarf” is short for “member of the Order of the White Scarf”, which is an SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) fencing honor society, as I remember **Siege** (and **Sweetums** ) being involved in SCA fencing from past threads… ---

Is it wrong that my immediate response to persons who use the “have sex with me because intelligent people should breed” line is “Ahhhhh - that explains why you never get lucky”? In all seriousness, **Campion** is most likely correct regarding TROs. This means that in reality your primary defense against this personage is to pretend he doesn’t actually exist. He’s just a particularly aggravating figment of your imagination. Feel free to tell him so. (i.e. “I’m sorry - I’m afraid I can’t date you as you’re just a particularly aggravating figment of my imagination. I restrict my dating activities to people who actually exist.”) It’ll drive him bonkers. If he tries to prove he exists, just exclaim in wonder at the vividness of your imagination. You can aid and abet your lady-friend by carefully not reacting to his presence and asking her to whom she is speaking when she’s explaining her Reality-Based-Swains-Only policy. ---

I thought he meant a literal white scarf, as in, I figure the odds of my mother turning back from the path of New-Age lunacy are somewhat less than the odds of me turning into an endtable. But that’s another thread. Sorry, **Sweetums** no advice beyond what’s already been offered. Good luck! ---
