"Free Market Meat Market"

[theweaselking]

"Atlasphere", when Randroids go to find mates.

The sample personals are just scary. Like all Objectivists, they're classic Nice Guys who feel that because their parents handed everything to them on a silver platter all their lives, the women they want to date should be obligated to do the same. Because they, of course, get all this by *deserving* it.

Really, nothing is hotter than an accomplished girl in a suit, as long as she is willing to settle down and have my children.

Says it all really.

Any woman intelligent enough to meet their standards would be smart enough to run the other way. I'm sensing a flaw in their plan.

They don't want "intelligent." They want "almost but not quite as smart as I am and willing to be bullied intellectually and emotionally." They just say "intelligent" because it scares off fewer women than the truth.

Yep. Smart and successful enough to make the sacrifice of giving it all up for their man even bigger. Ugh.

[cbpotts.livejournal.com]

Wow. That's some pretty sophisticated one-handed typing, there in those personals. Does anyone actually ANSWER these?

I want to take my cross stitch scissors and sterilize some folks.

[harald387.livejournal.com]

Then you'd just gum up a nice pair of scissors. I have a rusty butcher knife sitting in a drawer somewhere for you.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_jeremiad/]

you're right.

plus the butcher knife comes with the nice tetanus bonus.

You think that these guys are capable of getting close enough to a woman to impregnate one?

[waterspyder.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping no, and that this will limit the number of people they can influence with their very flawed views

Only one who deserves his superior man-seed.

I have nail clippers.

Ragged nail clippers, because they were used to clip wire at one point.

I'm just sayin'.

And I thought I'd encountered some evolutionary dead ends on OKCupid......

To be fair, a lot of personals are scary.

These do have an extra-special je ne sais quoi, however. And by "special", I mean o_O

[iponly.livejournal.com]

okay, for the lols, I made a fake profile. Looks like there are real people on the site too, not just objectivist cutouts.
Some quotes:

"I was born in religious conservative West Michigan. I was surrounded by the rich ethnic heritage of a white bread farming town populated by rednecks and their rusty conveyances."
"I am angular and into making money. Lots of money."
"I'm wondering if this dating site is actually antithetical to Ayn Rand? contact me to discuss."
"What Else: I don't really remember what Objectivist is supposed to mean"

Plenty of overly formal boring profiles like you'd expect too though.

Are there any women on this site?

So its a site dedicated to ditching your spouse for a younger model and then they ditch you for a younger hook-up just like Rand?
