Re:
I agree with Rollo...
If you're high quality, you don't put it out. Of course, it's a blog, and unless you're a regular reader, you can't gain that perspective. But the bottom line is, she did it for BLOG EXPOSURE, to create a word of CONTROVERSY, and like most megalomanical blog owners, they're very ego-centric. In the consumate words of Jay and Silent Bob the Movie...according to Affleck (AFLAC!), "The internet has given everybody a voice, and they have chosen to shyt on you two dipshyts." Likewise, every idiot has a voice now, including me.
IMO, she's the OPPOSITE of what a man could want. Did she do a market survey to gauge herself? Granted statistics show she has strong representation in the highest percentile, but are THOSE important to a man?
1. "I'm slim." Not all men like slim women. In fact, MORE guys don't want slim women. And want qualifies as SLIM? 120lbs with curves at 5.6". or 120lbs at 5'11" with ribs popping out. Slim might appeal to more men than fat, but in terms of REPRODUCTIVE quality, she is not "quality". Her lack of curves would decrease her attraction and feminine attributes.
2. "I'm attractive." Using HOT OR NOT as a resource BETTER BE TONGUE IN CHEEK SARCASM, b/c any guy OR girl using such a resource is foolish to judge their own attractiveness. Beauty is TRULY in the eye of the beholder, and your BEST bet to judge attractiveness is to judge the GUYS approaching you. AND not online. For men, attractiveness is irrelevant. You could be told you're barely eye catching, yet have doves at your shoulder all day long. A guy's determinant of "quality" is based on the quality of the last hoe to leave his shag palace.
3. "I'm relatively young." Well, the MILF crave is in full effect. The upside to the divorce rate has created a STRONG market for YOUNG men to plow OLDER women without any attachment or worry of pregnancy. Being young works, but time is against you, so YOUTH is only an asset NOW, and if she's not getting FULL MARKET VALUE, as RT stated, she better cash her chips in soon.
4. "I'm intelligent." Men don't care if a girl is super smart, HE cares if she's CARING. Intellect is often a DETRIMENT to a relationship. I'd rather have a woman with child-like curiousity ask me how my day was, and undying caring and devotion, THAN a super smart Mystery Wagon, Scooby Doo with bottle rimed glasses type girl. Again, just me, but INTELLIGENCE is not ANY marker for QUALITY to men. It isn't ABOUT threat levels or going to DEFCON 5. It is about give and take. And she's cited THE WRONG attributes in making her QUALITY.
5. "I'm Educated." Lots of women point this out, as if the PIECE of paper known as a "degree" confers INTELLIGENCE, INTELLECT, ABILITY, AWARENESS, or CONSCIOUSNESS. It doesn't. In fact, much like this beaut, it's OVERinflated her sense of intelligence and QUALITY (or value). Power of information LIES in the kind of INFORMATION one has. If you have a degree in finance, but I have no degree though I do have a program that can beat the market ALL DAY LONG, who's got MORE POWERFUL information? This goes back to the smart APE IDEA. Most people spend their lives ACQUIRING useless information, only to inflate their sense of importance. To companies, employees are tools. They want you to be more educated cogs in the corporate wheel; it further cements you to their machine. If you only acquire more textbook-like knowledge, with little real world applications, where else can you use it?
6. "I have my financial shyt together." This is meaningless, unless marriage is considered because at that point, debt and assets become joint property of marriage. I'd rather hear she has LOW expectations for dates, and has "CREATIVITY." I mean, heck, is she going to support the man? Is she the Warren Buffet or Donald Trump of women, so she'll turn your 401k, into 401,000,000?? I don't get it. Unless a woman is CONTRIBUTING her MONEY making knowledge or her assets to you, THEY ARE MEANINGLESS. As long as she pays HER bills, without stress on me, and doesn't expect more than I want to do, we're good.
7. "I have a strong libido and love having sex." Still don't buy it. Let's see what comes to fruition. MOST girls love sex, UNTIL marriage. MOST girls will now have to LOVE sex and be honest about it, because a new breed of man is coming forth. One that can easily dump his NON-sex-loving gf faster than a quickdraw pulls a gun. This right here, broadcast on the net is discrediting AND stupid, b/c now every old man and desperate one alike will be writing in for her digits. Or seeking her IP address.

If you dig her, write in. To me she comes across LIKE she knows. She's identical to an AFC, who thinks by his own LOGIC he knows what a woman wants: A provider, a nice guy, a polite guy, a man who won't stand up or raise his voice, who apologize, etc. She does the same thing, by THINKING she knows. How wrong are men who think in the same vein of knowledge?
I believe you DO have to common interests in ALL LTR's. That's a GIVEN though. And the things she listed aren't necessarily important to ME, so that's not ALL or MOST men. It's probably a smaller % than she knows, since less people voted for the President in 2004 than American idol in 2005/2006.
And the downside is of course, to finding someone precisely LIKE you, is that you're never challenged to GROW. All you did was find someone who AFFIRMED what you are. Nobody to challenge your religious beliefs or political beliefs. Wonderful. And with her, she's wearing the pants anyways. Totally not sexy, I want a woman who wear's THE SKIRT.
