I may be nice but I am one tough bitch. 10 years in law will do that to you.

I hope this isn't inappropriate, but if it is RT can bitchslap me and take it down.

After becoming emboldened by a successful running outing (unlike yesterday's discouraging effort - ugh- but I digress) I registered for this Breast Cancer Research Fundraising Run. I'm supposed to raise $250 (though it doesn't say what happens if I don't).

If anyone is interested in sponsoring me, please PM me for details.

To put my money where my feet are, I will match the total amount collected from Lawtalkers sponsors (up to $500 -- in case some stinking rich heir/ess out there is planning to send me to the poorhouse as a hilarious joke).

Alternatively (or in addition), if anyone is interested in forming a team, let me know! I don't think I can be a team of one - but if I can, someone come up with a funny boob-related name, and I'll do the team thing.

Assuming you're serious -- and I think you are, sadly -- you should realize that this is a lose-lose proposition.

Scenario 1: Whoever you pick says TM's assessment was spot-on, even a little generous. What do you do then? Four more days of utter batshit, is my prediction.

Scenario 2: Whoever you pick says, no, you are kinda cute. And everyone here realizes -- or thinks -- that this is merely a charity, meant to get you to SHUT THE FUCK UP about this -- which, to make another prediction, will be utterly unsuccessful.

In any event, IMHO, you are overweight and not particularly attractive. I say this not because of what TM said -- though I would trust his assessment if I had nothing else to go on -- but because no one who is genuinely attractive, even moderately so, is so desperate for affirmation. Particularly from a group of strangers.

And, I note, it wasn't until today that the I-Bankers supposedly checking you out were in their 50s. Hell, I'm 40, and I'm already approaching the point where "has vagina... doesn't drool" equals "worth checking out."

This is so obvious I can't believe I have to say it myself, but The Robust Puppies works on so many levels.

You are wrong sidd. I'm not backpedaling here but that day in mention the guys were young. And some of the guys I interact with that hit on me are very young in their 20s. Some are older, most of the NY power boys can sometimes skew to older sure... I don't think I'm all that but he gave me a rough deal. I ain't Not Pretty. I get plenty of attention here at work....There is nothing wrong with enjoying attention from a core group of posters here I've interacted with for years.

I can't be bothered to read all that preceded this (although I read TM's original description of you), but I'm thinking TM's response was a dry comment on another almost incomprehensible sentence, to wit:

"No. you brought it, it ain't over until Shape and one other nay, 2 other posters asess [in a noncomittal, neutral way Shape] me.

Since it was Greek to me, I had Babelfish translate it from Greek to English and back and got:

"him you brought, this ain't up to the form and a other refusal, 2 other posters asess [ in noncomittal, neutral form of ways ] i."

I actually feel enlightened.

It is bizarre. And yet so compelling to watch.

Though I have a much better understanding of ppnyc after today, so if she was going for a more multi-dimensional portrait (as opposed to my caricature of her from last week), then mission accomplished. I have seen this exact phenomenon before in my own family members - an aunt who lost a bunch of weight and then decided that all these men were after her. I think it has to do with an increase in self-esteem because she sees herself as looking much better than she did before, not taking into account that random people on the street (or internet chatboards!) have not seen this whole transformation, so to them she is just a mildly chubby average looking person.

So I feel kind of bad for taking part in the quashing of the new self-esteem. It probably needs to be done to some degree, because braggerts are really unpleasant to be around and that is a lesson of its own. And the belief that random men are constantly hitting on her is something that she should figure out on her own and not share with others because (1) unless you are super model hot, it comes off as delusional and sad and (2) if you are super model hot, it comes off as conceited and arrogant.

So good luck with the running, etc. ppnyc. I hope you get to your goal. And that you manage to make it through a day somewhere along the line without all of the constant unwanted attention from men. What a drag.

So you are telling her no? That maybe you went all crazy in Bisbee, but irl, she's not good enough for you?

Nice.

I would never tell dtb no. Not in Bisbee and not here.

No one misinterprets me more than you. I am starting to think you are my ex-MIL.

Thanks. I note I wasn't always overweight, before kids, size 8-10 while not tiny not fat. So I'm not really suffering from fat girl syndrome.

You know what? You are an asshole. Even if some or all of it is true you don't need to say it to publicly humiliate me. You're just hammering it home, happy to get people to pile on....gleefully festing on the fact that you wanted to get me off my perceived high horse or whatever and say I'm delusional. Whatever, okay?

You were late. you were not charming. you argued with me right then and there about my bra size. which I found to be rude. and then you made some fucked up comment when I said women should be more cautious about meeting people right then about "yeah right like I'd rape you right here" um no, but that is fucking obnoxious.

and I took the high road, lied and said you were nice when really, your arrogance did not match either your looks, dress or station in life. I've met some big time heavy hitters much more charming than you, sir.

Caveat fucking emptor.

Undisputed Facts:

1. You told everyone you were hot.
2. You chose to meet a board member to confirm your hotness, or lack thereof.
3. The board member you agreed to meet is notoriously blunt, but also notoriously honest.
4. He was even handed and every bit as direct as you knew or should have known he'd be.
5. You didn't like what he said, so you tried to twist his not unkind review into something it wasn't.

You assumed the risk and it was apparantly a bad decision. Take your lumps and move on.

Rarely, if ever, have I found people who profess their own beauty, brilliance, or otherwise sing their own praise to be speaking objective Sebby-truth. Rather, it is almost always a self-delusion, often actually believed by the person who extolls their own virtues.

Cite? Every chick on reality TV who says how she is really so smart, but people don't see it (and she can take advantage of it) because she is hot, cute, beautiful, sexy, etc. I also beleive there have been a myriad of studies done by otherwise useless socialogists that something like 75% of people think they are in the top 25% in terms of attractiveness, intelligence, etc. But at 2:00 a.m., after several stouts and at 3€ an hour, I will leave it to PPnyc to use her 147 IQ to prove to helself that she likely has an unrealistic self-image.

Less (I know giving head doesn't norally do it for you,babe, but my dick is different than all the others. It is a nice medium length, normally circumsized, without noticeable bends or disfigurements, and that makes you just go wild, such that you can barely restrain from ripping my pants off in public and just gobbling, licking and sucking - with previously unknown abandon - my gorgeous, exceptional, unnaturally special, never-before-experienced, bonny cock?) inDublin

As to the first, I'm getting a picture of a dog with one of those cones around its head trying to lick its arse... don't know why. Stream of consciousness... Vodka?

As to the second, you'll have to show it to TM before anyone'll believe any of that.

Again, another self-deluded statement. You're confusing toughness with stubborness. They ain't the same.

I'll be in the City in the next couple weeks.

I'll evaluate you by drink. I'll tell the bartender to measure the inches of vodka depleted from the bottle before I think "I could tap that ass."

And I'll be seeing those breasts, to make a proper full assessment.

Deal?
