carolinawanderer Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 Screw her. I don't care how hot she is. Honestly, I think I meet a good number of her "criteria," but someone whose personality leads them to post an ad like THAT is probably pretty damn smug and arrogant. Not for me.
Stockalone Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 Men,Would you respond to such an ad ? The fact that she has a laundry list doesn't bother me, I have one of my own. And she is very clear about what she wants and doesn't want and that saves a lot of time. That said, I wouldn't reply because she is not my type. And I don't meet her requirements. If she's targeting educated men, the least she can do is to bring education to the table! :laugh: Maybe she has emotional scars from dating and wearing heels helps her to heal those. That is why she calls them heals. I have to admit I didn't notice the heels/heals error when I read the profile. I guess I missed it because I don't have a shoe/leg fetish. Heels is not a word I come across often. Besides, I am not a native speaker so I wouldn't be worried about a few mistakes. As long as her spelling isn't atrocious. She doesn't post her own picture but mentions that if you don't reply to her with yours then you are out.. ... What is wrong with a guy not replying with no picture to an ad that doesn't have a picture ? If the ad isn't a fake, it could be important to her that men actually take the time to read her profile before contacting her. A while ago, someone started a thread with a link to stats from another dating site. Women received the craziest initial messages. Maybe she hopes to avoid being contacted by men who can't be bothered to read a profile when they find the woman attractive. Maybe she things that no picture = higher quality of men who respond to such ads. Obviously, she also risks that some men won't be contacting her at all because she doesn't have a picture of herself on that site.
jw90063 Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 DO NOT CONTACT ME IF..... -You are under 5"11 in height Just realized, hope none of those height obsessed people read this post.
threebyfate Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 Maybe she has emotional scars from dating and wearing heels helps her to heal those. That is why she calls them heals. Healing from heels, can be a traumatic event. I once fell of my heels and had to heal from a greenstick fracture on my finger. Besides, I am not a native speaker so I wouldn't be worried about a few mistakes. As long as her spelling isn't atrocious. But...but...but...she's the woman of your dreams. Just ask her!
Stockalone Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 Maybe she things that no picture = higher quality of men who respond to such ads. Since we are talking about spelling problems. LOL, I couldn't fix it in time because jw had already posted.
jw90063 Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 I'm surprised someone would even put such a lengthy, extravagant ad on Craigslist. Does she really think she's going to find the man of her dream's on there. I guess anything is possible...

I think she is a scammer. Very unrealistic to expect all of the above.
Author TheWatcher Posted December 28, 2009 Author Posted December 28, 2009 Why would you even think about replying to this ad ? I didn't....I just thought that it would be interesting to share.
Jaytb Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 I am well traveled. { I take the Greyhound Bus everywhere ) they have service in Canada? (I know I know, they go from Albany to Montreal.)
Woggle Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Even if she found a man who met all that criteria she would still be unhappy with him. Her type is simply unpleasable.
Lizzie60 Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 I agree with Norajane.. she knows what she wants and doesn't want.. Plus ... she could be French... therefore making a few mistakes.. no big deal... I see a LOT of mistakes here.. from English people... It was a little too long.. but IMO quite good..
Pizzaman81 Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 CONTACT ME IF..... I wrote my ideas above of what I think she means ... I think she is a scammer. Very unrealistic to expect all of the above. Wow you took this time to actually analyze the whole thing? I commend you. I think i'll take a crack at this WOMAN.
b52s Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Actually, that list doesn't necessarily prove that she knows what she wants.
BentSpine Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 I am leaning towards that she doesn't know what she wants. Once she's able to list the desired traits in order of importance, then and only then will she have gained some helpful understanding of herself.
Chicago_Guy Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 I assume that posting was a joke. However, if it is real, I think it is ironic that someone who is clearly extremely judgmental (based on her extensive laundry list) wants someone who isn't judgmental. The person who wrote that is also very self-centered and is most likely a huge pain in the ass.
shadowplay Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 If she's targeting educated men, the least she can do is to bring education to the table! :laugh: Or her use of "who's" instead of "whose"....
shadowplay Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 I don't think she's actually much pickier than a lot of women are. She's just more upfront about it. The unfortunate thing is that by being too honest she makes herself look superficial and full of herself, which will put off the kind of guy she wants to meet. None of her preferences seem that outlandish if she genuinely has a lot to offer (bad grammar aside). Her decision to post this list is what makes her look bad, not the preferences in and of themselves.

Her decision to post this list is what makes her look bad, not the preferences in and of themselves. Well, some of what she lists are some things MOST singles desire...like "intelligence, sense of humor...etc. It's not WHAT she's saying it's how she's saying it. It makes her come off as she expects EVERYTHING from you, but brings NOTHING to the table herself. She makes it sound ONE-Sided and selfish. However, like the whole "Heels" thing....that's typically a superficial thing...I've met 5'4" women that won't date guys that are 5'8" because the shallow women INCLUDE their heels in their ht.
SadandConfusedWA Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 I do not think that she is asking for much at all....I would probably add few more items to my list As for grammar, she could still have a PhD in maths and/or Englidh as second language, so grammar is not a great indicator of her education level.
silic0ntoad Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 As for grammar, she could still have a PhD in maths and/or Englidh as second language, so grammar is not a great indicator of her education level. Sure it is. When you do not protray yourself with intelligent word choices, you simply look like a dullard. And dullards are lack lustre. Besides, the point isn't her grammar, it's her inexcusable, ridiculous list. I won't nitpick her, but just to point out, the majority of humanity as an organic whole experiences or feels nihilism at some point in its existence. To say "fat skinny guy" is simply a ridiculous hidden insult. People aren't chiseled greek statues, and to expect everything on that preposterous list above is simply self defeating. She sounds like a typical "self righteous, self entitled" female. Oh, such a bother.
b52s Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 I do not think that she is asking for much at all.... Probably because you're one of "those" that would probably have a demanding personal ad like that. You're not a friend of hers, are you?

People aren't chiseled greek statues, and to expect everything on that preposterous list above is simply self defeating. Silic0n...what's a "Fat skinny" guy. LOL That's a new one...I did hear a personal trainer use the temr "Skinny fat" meaning, people who are thin, but...have "fat" on them...but just appear thin. Kind of like an oxymoron.
Stockalone Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Healing from heels, can be a traumatic event. I once fell of my heels and had to heal from a greenstick fracture on my finger. Don't you mean you "once fell off" your heels. But back to the greenstick fracture. Ouch! I had no idea such an injury even existed, let alone what it is called. But...but...but...she's the woman of your dreams. Just ask her! That'll be the day, a woman trying to convince me that she is the woman of my dreams. Should that ever happen, there will certainly be a thread about it on LS. I don't think she's actually much pickier than a lot of women are. She's just more upfront about it. The unfortunate thing is that by being too honest she makes herself look superficial and full of herself, which will put off the kind of guy she wants to meet. It's probably because I have never tried online dating, but isn't that the whole point? To be honest and upfront about what you are looking for. Her list gives men the chance to get a feel about compatibility before even contacting her. That save both parties a lot of time if it is already clear they aren't going to be compatible. None of her preferences seem that outlandish if she genuinely has a lot to offer (bad grammar aside). Her decision to post this list is what makes her look bad, not the preferences in and of themselves. It looks like I am in the minority, but I don't think that posting that list makes her look bad.
Lizzie60 Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Oh My... if a few mistakes make her look like she's dumb... there are a lot of dumb people here.. I do not especially agree with ALL of her list.. but MOST of it.. plus I would probably add a few things..
b52s Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Her list gives men the chance to get a feel about compatibility before even contacting her. But what's the fun and experience in that...that's like throwing in the towel. It's over before it is even started Tell you what, this whole internet thing has made things too convenient for people. It ruins the dating experience I think.
