come on, isn’t there at least a nonzero chance that Girl is an american black chick? that would throw a real monkey wrench into the decision tree because then should could be anywhere from a 0 to a 5 and still act like she thinks she’s an 8+

sassy. mmmm.

Ignatius, quit pouting! You’re in New York City now! Myrna is out there, somewhere, waiting for you! Go out and find her! And in the meantime, good luck with the actions of your pyloric valve.

For all the rampant exhibitionism, she’d better be a 9.

I don’t know what you’re talking about, and frankly I find your commentary an assault on common decency. Further, to suggest that you might better than I discern what characterizes my “type” with respect to the fairer sex, you most surely share the dunder-headed obliviousness of patrolman Mancuso and other savages of our day. I would be most grateful if you never bothered us again with your utterly gut-wrenching tripe.

P.S. I love you.

For the record, I’m not saying the workplace isn’t hard for stringy white girls, just saying that laser death rays are not going to make it any easier.

Ignatius, did you take your name from the classic comic novel Confederacy of Dunces? If you haven’t read it, I’m sure you’d enjoy it. By the way, I’m 100% certain I’m not your type, so thanks, but no way. Matt, though I found some of your post irritating enough to respond to, I have to admit the “laser death rays” remark made me laugh. Battle Axe, your riposte was pretty good, too. I still think the workplace atmosphere for the “stringy white girls” is tougher than you realize.

Crap, that was intended for Battle, not Girl.

Btw, my take on Girl is that she’s probably not a hotty but plays one on TV.

p.s. I want to upstage the other pair and pronounce right here my undying love for you, “girl.” And your chichis.

God this site is romantic.

Battle, one day you might appreciate the time and attention that goes into fixating on your breasts.

So sad.

haha @ lazer death rays- this is some priceless commentary

you’re all, however, way off. good effort

To battle of the sexes: Yes, it could, or it could also be…
a) they could live without bothering to be nice to anyone since they only care about themselves
b) they see all men as interchangeable assholes that hit on them
c) they are not seeing anyone and are ashamed/defensive
d) they confusedly equate bitchiness with seriousness and use it as a cover for their insecurity

Here’s a suggestion: drop the death rays and people might actually like you for your personality rather than just focusing on your breasts.

I wonder if there is a reason “laser death rays” shoot out of the eyes of “stringy white” female colleagues of Matt and CW. Could it be (a) they could live without being sized up as “stringy”; (b) they don’t like the way a lot of the guys treat Asian women as being interchangeable; (c) they’re seeing someone else and certain people don’t get the message; or simply (d) they’re there for business and are sick of being hit on. Here’s a suggestion: try being friendly and helpful to women colleagues over a period of time without staring at their breasts or otherwise coming on to them, and see if the death rays don’t go away.

Not only is Matt concise but damn accurate.

““girl” is an over-confident petite Asian woman in her 20s, who is about a 6. She probably looks fairly generic, has a few Burberry scarfs and LV bags and genuinely thinks she’s an 8.5.”

You just described about 99% of the women in banking and consulting.

The other 1% are stringy white girls who’d be mildly attractive if laser death rays didn’t shoot out of their eyes.

Apparently she also does enough running to get “a mean case of the shin splints- the trainer says i should soften my stride. impossible as i’m pretty incapable of doing anything soft.”

From reading the chat I would infer that “girl” is an over-confident petite Asian woman in her 20s, who is about a 6. She probably looks fairly generic, has a few Burberry scarfs and LV bags and genuinely thinks she’s an 8.5. I’m sure you all know exactly the type I’m describing if you’ve ever set foot inside a bullpen.
