I should have added something: “Creepy, and people will take screenshots and show their friends so everyone can talk about how creepy it is…” ---

I don’t know the OP, but I assume it’s either self-aware parody or just “playing dumb” for us and his amusement. In the slim-to-nil chance it isn’t, yes, of course it’s creepy and weird. I wouldn’t be surprised if it draws a response, though. I’d advise the OP to put the ad up verbatim and post results to us. That might be an entertaining thread. ---

That might be an entertaining thread. This is a guy who didn’t understand what “respect” meant with regards to his then-girlfriend (or wife?). When he called her names like “poop-bird” and “stone-butt” she said it made her really unhappy, but he didn’t understand that giving her respect would have meant “Stop calling her names”. So…I’m pretty sure that it’s not a joke or parody. ---

See, I’m not familiar with the OP, except just encountering him in an English food where he seemed to have thought hummus was some kind of British foodstuff made of lamb (which a poster later noted was probably describing haggis.) So, I just interpret that as intentional/feigned ignorance. I’ve know a couple people like this in real life who know full well what they’re talking about and just play dumb for their own amusement or attention (and I personally think Karl Pilkington falls into this category.) I’ve me plenty of legitimately clueless and stupid people, but this just doesn’t pass the sniff test for me. ---

Wait, he wants her to already have kids too? After reading the “special chickens” thread, I’m really afraid to ask what he wants them for. And is there special charcoal involved. I think for the safety of the community, Superhal should consider tattooing this ad on an easily visible part of his body. I realized I forgot to vote: Creepy. ---

Wait a sec. I just realized that I mix up **Superhal** and **Hal Briston** in my head. Sorry, Hal. The first and last ones are kinda funny, but the rest are creepy. It’s very strange to require kids and puts off a pedo vibe. It’s weird to have a specific upper value for weight or to have rules about parental fitness. (I get the idea, but it’s weird.) Specifically wanting a deaf person makes it sound like you get off on their disability. And throwing in serial killers is hella creepy in pretty much any situation. ---

> [@Penfeather](#): > > Looks like he forgot to specify [must be willing to let me fart in her face.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=568588) If the OP added this to the ad then I think it will be perfect and he will find many loveley deafs to love him long time. ---

I wonder whatever happened with the chickens and if they were any good after being frozen for all that time.
