And the award for least self-aware personals ad goes to "Wondering what is out there - 28 in Wilmington":


I am a truly, loving, caring person. I look for the best in people. My best quality is my caring, compassionate nature. I see what's there, but focus on the positive. I do all I can to improve the world around me, I know that when it's my time to go, all that will matter is what kind of person I was and how I treated other people. I love to laugh and am not above making an ass out of myself!

No losers.
No fatasses.
No bums.
No Mexicans.
No Italians.
No French Canadians.


Yeah, those French Canadian women are always getting on my nerves.

I would call that an attempt at humor, not a lack of self-awareness.

Hmmm...you're probably right. However, i would also not be surprised if it were real.

True. It can be difficult to tell whether someone is being a smart-ass or a dumb-ass.

there has to be some sort of mathematical proof that shows the difference and how to calculate it.

I don't get it - It's like Americans have to pause to wipe the blood off their assholes every time they hear an ethnic slur. As the Russians will tell you, not all I-talians are bad. Northern Italy has a GDP per head that's about twice that of S. Italy, which was historically dominated by Spain. I don't like Milan though. Not enough natural blonde hair.

One of my favorite personals ads of all time went something like this:

SWM, sensitive white-collar professional, age 42, ISO SWF who enjoys romantic dinners, long walks on moonlit beaches, travel, art, and cultural outings. Very oral preferred.

The Secret Sauce...
