I assume you’ve fired off your resume to this woman along with a shot of yourself nude, flexing those biceps you work so hard on.
She sounds perfect for you!
She’s not my type either– especially because she stresses that she’s educated, which is a huge turn-off– but I wonder whether she realizes most men approach her not because she’s a (supposedly) cool girl with her act together, but rather because of her looks.
Obviously the girl is full of herself and delusional. Just because there exists in the universe a high-maintenance, egotistical girl like that, doesn’t mean you and anyone else should go and try to live down to her arrogance.
Don’t try to pick the worst people to live down to. Try to live up to the best. Do you want someone to love you for being an ass, or for being great?!?!?!
But I don’t think there’s anything wrong or ass-like about being proud of ones’ biceps after working hard on them. (well, not oh-so-hard, like twice a week).
Yes, super high maintenance, but when reading you have to consider the context. She is public, she is getting asked out by her readers every day, and she wants it to stop. Sure she did it in a bitchy way, but this is clearly somewhat tongue in cheek (get on the internet and get a mail order bride, very funny). She has high standards, she laid them out there, so what? Frankly, I’m not that impressed by her, but I live in New York City, where people that are fit, smart and well educated are much more common than in the rest of the country. I assume she deals with a national audience and I can only shudder to think about the people who have approached her. (By the way her claim about getting 50 – 100 responses from internet dating from a profile is not so impressive. I’ve known two ex-girl friends got that level of response PER HOUR that they kept their profile up. Have to admit that it was somewhat scary sight to see that level of pursuit in action.) Just because she is on a blog “talking” to you, doesn’t mean she would want to date you in any way more than all the pretty girls in the bars who ignore you would want to date you.
And for the record, I wouldn’t qualify for her because I’m not self employed and am not available for long international travel. Oh well. But now I know that and won’t reach out to her. 🙂
Tallman, probably another reason why Internet dating is a waste of time. Although maybe I am just bitter, I never seem to be able to do very well with it.
Also, I bet those girls are v. looks-focused too, huh? When you’re getting 100 responses an hour, you have to weed people out somehow and can have a lot of requirements.
Girls who get that many responses probably have great pictures and don’t say a lot in their profile. To weed out guys who are inappropriate, you have to be honest about who you are…but in a nice way. For instance, if you aren’t a party animal, you could say that in your profile, and you won’t hear from all the club kids.

I didn’t think she was all that hot, actually.

Considering so many women tell me I’m an ass, I guess that would be my best choice…
A super bitchy breakup blog that might amuse you:

But it is so easy not to be an ass! That’s why men have it easier. See how little we expect of you?

I’d date her. I like a woman that speaks her mind and knows how to punctuate well.
Only if yours is as big as Derek’s … bicep I meant! Sheesh boys, get your mind out of the gutter. Size doesn’t matter — yeah right. Debate that one!
OK, Cris, ask her out.
Two words: High maintenance.

I thought her post was hilarious. Something tells me she wasn’t trying to be hilarious though…and that’s what let’s her down…
