Amy M. Update
Amy M., the self-promoting “by all accounts, toothsome” but dateless lawyer who called guys – all of us – “babies” on The Wall Street Journal online, has responded to my post. In the interest of the facts, at least as related by Amy M., I hereby “reprint” her reply:
… I’m petite – five feet tall and 100 pounds. Insinuating that looks is the problem makes you wrong, but perhaps not unusual.
Why would a woman want a guy who lies around and mooches all day? That’s not sexy. I’d reject any guy who even hinted that he’d stop working. I imagine it’s the same for men, though I guess I could be wrong.
I’ll let you guys be the judge as to whether my statement, “why would a guy want to date a woman with enough money that he can … not worry about staying in a job he hates,” somehow hints that the guy would stop working. I certainly didn’t mean that – what I meant was that, removed from the financial pressure of supporting a broke chick, the guy would be able to get another job – one that he doesn’t hate. Of course, we all know what a woman writing what I wrote would mean: stay-at-home status, plus a nanny.
In reality, Amy M. is apparently making another disingenuous excuse for her choice to become the Harriett Miers of the future: a lawyer, once hot – now still-single, old, and not. Amy’s not even willing to state that a guy lazing around the house unemployed might be undesirable because of his negative financial impact. Rather, Amy M. would have us believe a moocher is only undesirable because mooching is “not sexy.”
Anyway, I’m a sucker for spinners, so rather than argue, I wrote – in (or is it “on”) The Wall Street Journal:
I’m a petite-ophile – I’m attracted to just about any woman your size. If you’re located near where I live (Tampa) or anywhere I regularly go, send me a picture and you can pretty much count upon me asking you out. Hope may be on the way! Hit me up through my blog, “The Balls Monologues,” at http://guyinism.com/
Of course, as my blog makes evident, you’ll probably just end up regretting what you have been wishing for, but one never knows!
