I wish people would stop trying to get me to date guys I have no interest in. I like being single. But when I eventually want a boyfriend I’m not dating a guy with no prospects and no decent looks. I’m an attractive, university-educated professional who’s been moving up the corporate ladder. Why should I settle? I’m sick of people accusing me of being shallow and conceited when I reject their fat, homely slacker friends. I don’t get it. Why are you introducing me to these losers? People are supposed to pair up with partners with similar goals and looks. No, I’m not dating your friend when I’m way more physically attractive, hard working, and make 3X more money than them. Seriously, I have respect for myself so therefore I have standards. Like I said, I like being single anyway, so fuck off and stop trying to ‘hook me up’! Uggghhh. —Educated, Career Oriented, and Sexy

It’s kind of a shame that smallpox has been eradicated (outside of certain Russian bioweapon labs and the C.D.C.) because if ever a woman deserved to end up like the Marquise de Merteuil (as ugly on the outside as she was inside) it’s you OP.
http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2008…
I bet if one of these “homely” guys made six figures you’d change your tune pretty damn quick.
Open your eyes and broaden your horizons. Its fine to have preferences and goals but good grief. You’re probably passing up on meeting some really great people because you’re a self-centered bitch.
Regardless, you don’t deserve these guys. They deserve much better than you.
Aw fuck, now you’ve gone and done it, OP. Prepare for some serious flaming.
*grabs popcorn*
Anyone got any predictions on when OP’s gonna make an account just to post here and be all “YOU GUYS ARE ASSHOLES”? PK’s takin’ bets. Mine’s on comment number 42.
It’s a good thing you “enjoy” being single cuz with an attitude like yours, you should plan on being single for a long, long time.
Im gonna say post 37 Kitty. What’s the pool at?
is this a recycled bitch from a few months back? but with new kinks added on? seems to me that some people think we are dumb here, guess what folks, we aren’t and if this is a new bitch entirely, well then miss queenie, you will be alone forever.
Jesus wept! When was the last time you got your ticket punched OP? Maybe you should look into it. It may calm you the fuck down, princess. (I’m just sayin’)
Ha ha, nice PK. Pass the popcorn, it’s a slow day here.
OP- I’m *kind of* on board about people trying to hook you up for the sole purpose of not being alone/ you can’t possibly be happy alone. My family’s always on me about that. It’s not so bad, I’ll find someone when I want to.
But gee, you sure *sound* like a charmer…
I get what you’re saying OP but you come off like quite a bitch when you put the looks and money into it… Like, are you saying if someone is rich and has a good career but is not the best looking, you won’t date him? Or if he’s beautiful but poor but in school you won’t date him? Or if he’s rich and cute but lazy you won’t date him? CLARIFY PLEASE.
Always bet on 42, PK. 😛
HAhaha, in a few short decades you’re going to look pretty damn homely yourself sooo…
lol I almost think this bitch is fake to provoke the regular commenters
“I wish people would stop …”
“I’m sick of people accusing me …”
I’m not surprised you don’t have friends to try to hook you up…
just random ‘people’.
seriously though, who knows… maybe you truly are one of those that loves to be alone.
I guess we’ll find out in another 15-20 yrs when you have more cats than dates.
Nowt wrong with regular trips to the firing range Snoop; keeps us sharp. >; ) The shooters from Seal Team 6 who ventilated Bin Laden probably fire off more live ammo in a week than most peacetime garrison troops fire in a year.

The OB sounds like my kinda latkes!
There is nothing wrong with being attracted to a certain person or certain type … but when you start announcing how much you’re worth and how attractive you are etc. etc. it screams one of two things, insecurity or GIANT ego.
Mmmmmmmmm, latkes.
I wonder what kind of S.U.V. the OP drives?
Exactly, donk. EXACTLY.
It’s funny though, my friends (especially my best friend) are extremely critical of the guys I choose for myself (no one’s seemingly good enough for me :P), and everyone they’ve ever suggested or introduced me to have been pretty darn spiffy.
Soooooo maybe get some new friends who know you better? (or maybe they’re just trying to chop you down to size ;)).
A *93* rusted suburban, Ivan.
Take THAT, Sebastard!
mmm latkes, always cook them in peanut oil http://www.cosmopolla.com/wp-content/uploa…
I am university educated with a good job, and when I met my fiance he was living at home and got laid off a week later. Now we live together and he makes more than me. He’s not a slacker, he had to work his way up but he only has his high school diploma. If people end up in the right job, they can go far. Don’t judge prematurely, OP.
Mmm! I’m going to get my newly-Jewish cousin to whip me up some next month when I’m visiting!!! 🙂
Guys, I’m SO excited about my visit with my cousin — she’s like my sister and it’s going to be like one big sleepover like we had when we were kids! heehee.
Sorry, all!:
http://www.demotivationalposters.org/image…
wow lady, u know what if pretty meant the word ugly, like ur perception on others, you would be a ten. So it looks like you are another prejudgement lady, my gosh, bless you, and hope you find this miracle man, and bless him as well, because he will have to put up with your lovely personality, seems like you are the so caller ” loser” this time.
This thread is full of conceited bitches, not including the op. Just love that moral judgement you all spout like you’re the divinity of ethics and reason.
i’ve made them a few different ways but they’re always yummy http://gal.patheticcockroach.com/var/album…
“I’m sick of people accusing me of being shallow and conceited when I reject their fat, homely slacker friends.”
That says just about everything. The real question is why they would subject their friends to you?
well said troondon, hit the nail on the frakin head with that one, yo battered fish what the heck is op, someones handle on here, or just means oh please
PK’s cousin is an Israeli.
http://ilovejewishfood.webs.com/I%20Heart%…
Oh yes bastard fish … *groan* *eye roll* *shrug*
NGF shut your blewish mouth.
Bastard Fish… if someone is adamant they are a 10 with a great job and a lot of drive…. profess how great (superior?) they are…
and that they are waiting for another 10 to come along… also with a great job… AND amazing drive in life…. and that person also has to actually like her as well….
she’ll be waiting a long, looooooooooong time….potentially until death.
I don’t think that’s very conceited to point out.
That’s actually quite obvious.
Like everyone else wouldn’t notice…
“oh, hey mr perfect, rich, career oriented stallion over there in the corner… no-one noticed you? we’d be perfect together…”
Quiet down over there, Donk-E Kong!
Someone’s idea of Mr Perfect might not be someone else’s. It’s all subjective.
But when you think you HAVE met them, DO NOT go and ask them if they have herpes. Even while completely and totally intoxicated.
Just sayin’ is all.
Let’s see – when I met Hub-Unit, he was broke, sick and his girlfriend had left him – he was a right mess but such a sweet guy. All it took was for someone to see his potential (which I did) and sure enough, he picked himself up, dusted himself off and ended up being an award-winning audio/video producer. So, OP, bite me.
Pfft. There’s only ONE Mr. Perfect!
http://www.peoples.ru/sport/martial_art/mr…
…oh, yeah, and I forgot, UNEMPLOYED.
U so funny.
I had a laugh!
Lolers.
C’mon fat, that picture doesn’t do him justice.
http://youtu.be/8iK7vRYeY3U
OP, your standards need work. What if your guy was sweet and in an educated career that paid peanuts? Would you reject him then?
dat wuz for fats
pretty kitty, is that avatar a pic of your own kat, i can see how no one would ever bad mouth your comments, cuz they have to see, that sweet smiling cat, reminds me of one of the familys from a while ago
It’s tubz, donk, donarious ain’t called fats. Tubz 😀
Thanks, JR, but that’s not my kitty. My kitties are even cuter 🙂
oh wow, this bitch board is going to be so freakin busy and full for the rest of the day. What a can of worms this person who posted this has made. I think i may crack a beer, its only 15 mins to four.
http://d3gkbha1s7sr56.cloudfront.net/somee…
I think what’s hilarious is that the OP doesn’t seem to get that today’s winners can sometimes end up being tomorrow’s losers. If it’s all about appearances to you, honey, do the men of this earth a fucking huge favour: STAY SINGLE.
OP I hope you find love in a package you never thought it would come in. I hope you become happy enough with yourself that you don’t judge a person on their credentials but on their character. Good luck and don’t be pissed at your friends for trying. (I also hope the person you meet sees past your character and judgement because your credentials seem like the only thing you have going for you)
I’m not gonna read the responses, just gonna scroll on by and say “you go, girl!”
TTFN, I adore you. You “get it”, consistantly on the board.
=====OP I hope you find love in a package you never thought it would come in. I hope you become happy enough with yourself that you don’t judge a person on their credentials but on their character.

You too, RealChickieMommaBear.
In a police lineup of potential guys, I would appear the lesser of the line, with my non-standing up etc. I have lucked into a developing relationship with the most incredible woman in the last couple weeks. She finds me irresistable, because she has taken the time to find out who I am. And she gets more beautiful to me every time we talk.
Hey, OP- “on the surface” is no way to pick a bf/mate, or by reading their resume. The place people really live is behind all the shallow shit, and if you’re looking for a lifetime relationship with a quality person, judging them on these shallow things is folly.
On the surface, you sound like someone with some stuff together, but then you talk about yourself and you become someone I wouldn’t date, unless this talk is all bluster.
New love is a beautiful thing.
I’d hate to be her boss. I’d have to keep my attorney around when she tries to “reach the top” and never be alone with her.
I wonder if this guy would be out of the picture even though he is highly educated, wealthy and famous:
http://ts2.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.as…
Just wondering because the poor guy who gets stuck with her could end up like this but of there is a Karma (LOL) maybe she will end up like that. But then again maybe I’ll send this piece of Karma to her:
http://ts3.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.as…
You’re so totally right you educated, career oriented and sexy woman! Saying what a lot of us don’t want to b/c we’re scared of sounding like a total bitch.
Even if you are bitchy who the fuck cares?! Don’t let those homely moochers get you down.
..how’s a burnout ..passable …so-so employed..weird ass dude sound? 🙂
You know … there are things that can be thought but not said (even in a bitch). Nothing’s wrong with knowing your value and what you can give to someone else. Why not just go out there and look for love where it finds you. Tell your friends to stop setting you up if you hate who they choose for you.
OP just wants a guy with good dividends … I guess …
Never settle OP.
Never settle.
…with magic hands marty^^
oh TTFN u fuckin rock, and to cranky u can lick a rats bag. So TTFN, when i drnk my brew tonight i will salute to u , for the amazin words u posted, we need more people in our fucked up socitey and less judgemental women like the original post up person. If pretty meant ugly, she be a ten. Know for all the ladies out there that say there are no more decent men out there, gosh hety my fellow brothers, its a two way street , am i right. By the attitude from the women u posted this, would make any guy not want to introduce themselves to any lady this city or any other. Know we have to think, does this(whom u may meet in the future) have the same opions and desire of what they want in a partner, maybe her vibrator and male hookers is all she will get in this life time, how sad and pathetic is that. Bless you lady, and if you are so BLOODY lucky u may have someone in your future.
Here’s a suggested sex toy for the OP:
http://scienceblogs.com/neurophilosophy/St…
Lady, if you’re as well-off as you claim, you could raise a whole herd of ’em, all for your pleasure.
..i love me some pg..:)
here’s so,e food for thought o.p., ugly people mate, and have beautiful kids sometimes.
Oh OP I know where you’re coming from! I posted a bitch like this a few months ago and got railed hard from these guys on it. But- I do agree with you. If you work hard on your job, home, and body then you deserve someone who can do the same.
But… get out of Halifax. The level of quality here is really low. So many cute girls, very little on the man front.
Except for those fine men that I see running at Point Pleasant every morning. Mmmmm
Creeper.
Wow, Bitch Lover, you really are a shallow puddle, aren’t you?
“So many cute girls, very little on the man front.”
^^hahaha you’re an idiot^^
For the Coast Crew, the young panhandler you avoid on SGR is a potential lifemate, you just have to get to know him.
Cranky … PLEASE. That’s definitely NOT what I’m (or some other posters are)saying. One can hold these beliefs and not say it. There is a difference between internal dialog and publication of said dialog. I do understand this is a complaint site and people post their frustrations. Given. I also however think that the OP shouldn’t voice these opinions to her/his friends. You can ask them to stop setting you up, but don’t say “I do this, I’m worth this, I look like this, so I deserve this” … no. You’ll spend forever looking for someone to match your criteria. It just seems all so shallow. Usually people who form lasting couples end up on a level to equal playing field anyway. If you’re so worthy then why do you feel the need to annonce it? I highly doubt Bill Gates runs around with a shirt saying $50 billion …
I still think that this post comes from an insecure place.
I don’t think that’s what any of us are saying, Cranky. And none of us have a problem with the fact that we are all looking for a certain type of person — where the problem with this bitch lies is OP’s attitude. She’s sooo sexy and perfect blahblah. Ego++.
Honestly, i picture OP (and ‘bitch lover’) as orange skinny bitches with fried bleach blonde hair and way too much eye liner. There’s gotta be a reason why her friends are suggesting ‘losers’ for her, and I’m thinking it’s because she’s not as great as she thinks she is. Being single and wanting to be single is fine, and not wanting to date someone who doesn’t have common interests is fine, but believing you deserve more because you feel you’re above and beyond everyone is shallow.
OP obv feels she’s a 10 (likely because she’s skinny and orange from all that tanning) when she’s probably a 6 or 7 at best because if she was a 10, she’d be getting attention from the men who are “10s” in this city. Bitch lover too. There *are* 10s in this city. Trust me. I’m fat (heh) and I’ve had and have a few 10s follow me around. No lie 😉
Just be single :)! Problems solved. What’s with the need to be attached to somebody? Well, I do enjoy a good attaching from time to time, but it’s just so much better when there’s no expectations! Oh gosh. I think I took too much cold medicine.
You know what, Donk, my lovely? You are one of the smartest bitches I know and I’m continually amazed at your maturity/level headedness, insight and intelligence every time I read your posts. I totally forget you’re actually still quite the youngin’. <3
This has nothing to do with this bitch, but I just wanted to point that out after I read your last post! 🙂 You’re one of my favorites on here, Doll 🙂
You know what, Mel? There are a lot more people out there who have the same mindset than you think, but most of the time, I think (when it comes to women, anyway) people feel that declaration is a front because you don’t want to admit you’re lonely.
I think once we women hit a certain age, the pressure is seemingly on to couple/get married/procreate, especially if we see all those in our peer group doing so. For instance, currently, I’m the only one of my female friends to be single and in fact, the only one not married and I’m not gonna lie, it’s put a lot of thoughts in my head about coupling and feeling like there’s something wrong with me because I’m not on that track. However, over the past month I’ve gone out and started mingling with some new people I’ve met and I realized that I didn’t know that I don’t necessarily want to be with someone. I like the freedom I have that comes with being single, especially when it comes to interacting with the opposite sex, if that makes any sense. I just don’t feel like I want to be tied to one person enough to go out seeking it. If I *do* meet someone and it clicks, well great, but screw all this self-imposed pressure to be unsingle just because all my friends are settling down and getting married and having babies. And it’s self-imposed because none of my friends are pushing me to couple (that’s not even an issue, and in fact, my best friend is so protective she doesn’t feel ANYONE is good enough for me :P) and my family could care less if I’m single or attached, if I have kids, or never have kids (and my mom’s ALWAYS telling me not to get married — but working in family law’ll do that to ya :P).
Again, I’m off on a tangent, but your post, Mel, just resonated with me because there’s just SO much pressure to follow a set social path and anyone who deviates is seemingly screwed up and I can really relate to THAT part of OP’s bitch.
Yeah I’ve been single for (more or less) 22 years and I’m doing just fine (with the help of the internet of course :P).

Merci PK. I think being an only child with crazy busy parents allows for lots of thinking time, lol.
haha, you and the boy would get along great^^his parental units be all kinds of crazy
Never did me any great harm either Donk…

WOULD I MARRY A HUTU?
The poster has raised a very interesting philosophical point: what are acceptable criteria for dating and, possibly, acquiring a future husband? She sets her educational and work-achievement standards high on the agenda but, as was to be expected, there have been many negative comments, most of which are irrelevant to the issue.
The principal comment centers on the fact that, while the prospective partner might not possess sufficient academic credentials and work-place success, he might have a wonderful character. The response to this is obvious: the individual WITH academic credentials and work-place success might just as well possess a wonderful character. In other words, character is irrelevant in the present context. It “does no work.”
So, would I marry a Hutu? Invoking the “certerus paribus” clause as we say in Latin (“other things being equal”), probably not. Of course, the Hutu may well be a wonderful person but it is unlikely that I would marry her since we belong to radically different cultures. (I expect those who criticized the poster for being snobbish will criticize me for being racist, but once again the criticism misses the point. My marrying the Hutu is not IN PRINCIPLE ruled out, only as a contingent matter of fact.)
So, why shouldn’t the poster set her educational and work place standards for a future mate? It is true that she won’t encounter the SGR panhandler doing the fox-trot at the Dalhousie week-end dances. But this is not an imagined violation of some “everyone’s equal” mantra. Think about it. Would the panhandler be a worthwhile sperm donor?
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!

Awww! Ivan, Donk, The Boy and PK are all only children!
My parents are busy peeps too and you could def qualify them as nutzo.
Who else’s an only child?
LOL @ PG’s pic!
I was in Montreal shopping last week and nobody spoke Latin.
Mmm that was a good sleep! Not. Anytime I try to sleep during the day, people always call me. I know it’s the daytime but usually people know that I’m at work and don’t try to call me. Well today I’m not, but usually I am. ANYWAY. Being in a relationship is overrated. Jus dun do it. I feel so freeeeeee now that I’m single but that’s just me.
I’m not an only child but I was often left alone when I moved into my dad’s house because he worked in Greenwood and lived in Dartmouth and most times would just stay in Greenwood during the week. I believe there’s a term for that, latchkey kid or something? Yeah. Apparently I’m just a mess
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latchkey_kid
Thanks Wheelie!
PK – I’m the baby out of 7 kids.
I was a latchkey kid too, Mel. I spent a lot of time alone when I was a kid after school and I’ve always been able to amuse myself because of it. I know some people who always had someone around and can’t handle being alone.
Seven kids…. I cannot imagine. Though I’m used to it being just me and I’m sure some of my quirks wouldn’t exist if I had to share living spaces with siblings growing up. I probably wouldn’t be such a princess about my “space” and sharing a bathroom! 😛
Wow, I agree with MM. Thank you for that. It’s what I mean, I just can’t be bothered to type.
We know what you mean … you just took it to extremes. Don’t get to friendly with Satan especially after he just lambasted you in another post.
Just saying.
ha ha, I know. The extremes can be a little too much, I agree. But I think people are reading a little too much into the character of the original poster, projecting their own deep darkness.
Yes, monsieur, but you’re saying you wouldn’t likely hook up with a Hutu because of radically different cultures not because they are inferior to you.
The OP is saying she “driven, goal-oriented and sexy” while her potential set-ups are “fat and lazy”. She is basically saying she’s a superior person and these guys aren’t worthy of her.
My gut says she’s not all that and those guys aren’t as bad as stated.
…”own deep darkness” … sounds like a book one should cry to.
I said nothing of his/her character. Only their way of expression, which I find quite crass.
… it is what it is.
RSVPs
THE FOX-TROTTING HUTU
: Donairious (11:45AM) – Nobody spoke Latin to you because you travelled in the lower circles in Montéal and were, no doubt, rejected as a sperm donor by those demanding substantial academic and career requirements. How were things on the Main? (By the way, that should read “certeris paribus, “not “certerus paribus.” Thank you.)
: Cranky (3:15PM) – I’m beginning to think that there might be something going on there, Cranky. You said (on “When I’m 80” and see Donk below) that you were “curious” about what I got out of being on this site and I said I was curious about why you were curious. Curiosity, Cranky, is the beginning – however rudimentary – of reflection. Stay with it, Cranky.
: Donk (3:31PM) – “Satan” Donk? Any reasons that come to mind?
Of course, one rarely if ever sees a panhandler from SGR fox-trottong at the weekend dances at Dalhousie and, as such, is rejected by the girls as a potential sperm donor. But I know what you’re thinking: You’re thinking, “Well, what about a fox-trotting Hutu?” I’ll have to think about that one.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
It’s cause you’re so devilishly handsome MM.
