About me and who I'd like to date.......

[markxport]

Hi Guys!  

Saw the following advert on a dating website and couldn't resist.  Not trying to bash AW's but I see this attitude quite a bit.  It is as follows:

Hello, gentlemen. I am of Italian descent, and am very particular about my date.  If you do not meet my criteria, then do not bother contacting me. I love romantic glamorous evenings out on the town, dressed up. My date will be a perfect gentleman. He will be dressed up in a black tie and will treat me like a lady. He must be very mellow and cool. A cocktail before dinner, sophisticated wine, dessert, coffee and some port afterwards. You don't have to spend a lot of money on me. You just have to want to come along and be my date. I am looking for someone who is free and flexible, who is spontaneous, and wants to go to concerts, musicals, plays. If you have a speed boat and can take me out on the water with the wind blowing in my hair, I will be in heaven. I love Eurppean cars. I also like to get out during the day and explore local shops. I really would like a man who is not "macho", but is caring, loving, polite, sensitive and considerate. He must be very health-conscious and take extremely good care of himself. Intelligence is very important. You don't have to have a degee, just have good conversation. I want to eventually settle down and have a family. No quickies here. Can you make me feel like a lady? Are you the one for me?

Take care,

Mark

This personal ad is sooooooooooo typical. It's all about ME, ME, ME. Contrast this with the attitude of my wife whose priorities are: 1. Me 2. Her children 3. Herself. As a result, I worship the ground she walks on and I would do anything to please her and make her happy. So who is wiser, the Americana or the Colombiana?

for Education, Medicare, clean air, water, other healthy Luxuries. Sorry to say, USA is plain Bad on Men relationship with Women. Guys not only must worry about a Guy taking his women, he also must worry about those Blasted Lesbians, Bissexuals taking his Women. Best for Guys to retire in a Women's native country, at least he no longer has to put up with AW CRAP.

at Cody's Bookstore signing his Books(long lines of Folks). Where is Cody's?? At the corner from People's Park(same Park where those blasted Hippies Had their War Rallies against the Vietnam War). I was surprised that Clinton was hanging out on Telegraph Avenue(where bums, Punk rocks, homeless, hippies, drug users, etc) all hang out. Of course his Secret Service Agents and Cops where everywhere, street was closed off. My first time seeing Clinton in Person, of course I didn't vote for him hehe

Well, I don't understand why he choose the worst part of Berkeley to sign his books. Telegraph Ave is the Ghetto of Berkeley. Expecting a bomb may go off any second, I left. lol

Understood. I just meant that many of the types you mentioned probably voted for him, or at least think he was OK.

In the US the girl doesn't need a dating service,unless she is god awful or ,like this girl,fishing for a ideal that she probably won't get.Then she might settle for less,as we often do in the states.Any good looking girl in the states will have guys falling all over her.So she uses the dating service to fish for better prey.
We do get 0ur users and suckers in the US too.When I had my car business I had this 24 year old blonde come in,good looking but not terrific.She test drove a Jaguar XJS and then told me she had a guy,a millionaire  who would buy it for her.This was late 80's,it was a $25,000 car.She came in 2 or 3 times before she brought him,told me a story about dating Golden State Warriors basketball players,then said don't tell the guy when he came in.
The guy finally came in.Maybe only 30 or so.Inheirited the money I think.But he was savy,he was playing her like she was playing him.He wasn't about to buy her the car,but he played along,we test drove it,he said something about considerering it.User chick,user guy,reminds me off Colombia.Wonder if the Jaguar story got got upped in possibility talking  when he wanted sex.Seems just a strait $$ transaction would be more honest.But he wouyld have to admit he was paying for sex and she would have to admit she was a wh-re.I was looking in a local singles column in the newspaper.Here is an add,young millionare looking for attractive woman.Maybe him.He did have a big ranch he lived on and alot of toys,sao he could play the role.
And what a user f--king chick,but she was very transparent to me and probably him,something that might not always be the case when we deal with latinas.

In the real world of fish,chances of really being eaten by a shark is infentesimly small,but it can be on your mind if you swim where the exist.
In Colombia,being taken by a shark can be extremely likely.
And fishing for them more problamatic.You are in different waters.
And never forget the "don't piss off anyone $200 worth" rule here,the price of your toe tag.

I think I know this girl. I know a girl who fits your description except she has no tatoos. At 35, she has joined a dating service and specifically told them she only wanted to date young good looking millionaires. One with his own plane. Not suprising, she had no offers except from men who were in their 60's and 70's and half blind.

Have you seen any of the Outback Jack commercials? The one
with the Brunnette when she says "I'm a B!tch, I'm Beautiful, and I'm
fabulous".

As soon as she said B!tch it must of had millions of men throughout
the world wanting to marry her.

Why is there a ban on the word "B*tch"? It's a perfectly good word that is actually celebrated by many of today's women.

I recently got an email from a woman explaining what "B!tch" meant to her:  "Being In Total Control of Herself".  For some women being called a "b!tch" is actually a compliment.  Being sweet, loving and cooperative to a man is equated with being a "doormat" in the eyes of such women.

The word as a term for hateful, spiteful, deceitful women is totally appropriate and I have no problem using the word when it's appropriate.  I have a news flash for you:  

Yes, there are Latinas who are b!tches.  

I didn't think so at first but I have found out otherwise.

If this gets me banned, so what?  I'll be a martyr for the truth.
