So, you got the advance outline for Jonah’s new book too?

Oh come on, most of these guys need something to aspire to, now that Ann Coulter’s so yesterday. But oh my God, anyu article where Megan McArdle comes out sounding like the most rational and sane person interviewed is rather terrifying.

Hey, do you suppose that if David Mamet reads the first girl dissing “Glengarry Glen Ross,” he’ll turn back into a liberal?

Conservative men writing about dating – all of the veracity of ”Letters to Penthouse Forum” without any of the icky sex.

Good point. I see a very unlucky future for Dawkins. All women in all bars, churches, jails, sidewalks, etc.. will be lesbians.

But, it’s the personality of the guy. I’ve dated generous, bleeding heart libertarians and conservatives and sexist, annoying liberals. It’s really the person, not the ideology.

What does it mean when the only adult viewpoint comes from Megan McArdle?

Well, fuck me. Uh, as it were.
I was dumb enough to follow the link and listen to the self righteous blatherings that these gems of conservative women put forth.
Sack o’ hammers comes to mind.

You could fuck their brains out in no time at all.

“Boobs. What do you think they feel like?”

To a man, they’d answer “bags of sand.”

heydave,
I was going to say that no one on this thread should miss going over there and actually reading those interviews. They are a scream. Not exactly dumb as a sack of hammers, but pretty close. Especially the one who reports that she meets a guy online who identifies as conservative, he treats her like shit, tells her he’s not actually a conservative, tries to borrow money from her and after she kicks him out tries to get her to “give him a quickie” in the car before he goes and she *doesn’t get that she’s being put on* by someone who targeted her qua conservative and is pulling her leg to see how gullible she is?

anyway, the funniest is the megan maccardle interview in which she explains that a libertarian woman can’t be “bought for the price of dinner” and shows her rebellion against her piggy date by force feeding herself two desserts she doesn’t want because she feels “owed” them–and then is shocked when he won’t pay and she runs out of money.

buncha 40 year old virgins…

Coming soon: Dawkins interviews his right hand to learn all about true love and everlasting loyalty…

“Bleeding heart libertarians”, WTF???

I took aimai’s suggestion to go over and read the actual comments. Pretty goofy, but I think the stupidest thing is one of the questions the interviewer posed:

“What do you think the biggest thing women have wrong about men is?”

Uh, apart from the weird syntax, shouldn’t you be asking the guys that?

When did they all go over to the dark side? I mean, they’re all so normal-looking, even approaching attractive…especially Bettina. Va-va Voom!

Oops, was that inappropriate? The “va-va voom,” not the “dark side” comment. I stand by that.

My favorite is that Moxie person’s comment saying, “So much for the ‘open-minded liberal’ myth.” Because liberal men tend not to like her (somehow I think anyone who doesn’t like her is automatically a liberal). You see if your mind isn’t so open that it accepts closed minds, your a great big stinkin’ hypocrite. It’s like the whole fundamentalist Xtian thing where you are persecuting them by refusing to allow them to persecute others.

interviewing six Conservative men about their dating habits might be interesting

Conservative chicks or hyenas—-who gives better head?

DAMMIT! One of those loser chicks has the temerity to also have the same first name as me! It’s the one giving you the come hither look, but with the strangely Tagg-like eyes.

Their worst dates don’t remind me of any dating experience I recall having (back in the dark ages before I got married); perhaps I was screening my potential dates better than this brood did/does? That kind of poor reality testing explains (1) their worst date stories, and (2) the reason why conservatives were able to convince themselves that attacking Iraq would be a simply grand exercise in creative destruction.

That “va-va voom” really dates you. Does anyone outside the nursing home still say that?

Then again, considering the subject, it’s entirely appropriate. Carry on.

Yeah! What you said!

I was just too cranky to think them thoughts through…

Clif’s already said it, but it’s worth repeating – when Megan McArdle is the voice of reason in your cohort, you’re really scrapping the proverbial barrel.

And it’s not even close.

Why is it so hard for these women to understand that ideology does not make the man (or woman)?

My favorite low-light is the woman who insists that she knows a guy is liberal before he ever opens his mouth because he always has fingernails which are longer and more manicured than hers and a ponytail.

WTF?! And there are people who take these people seriously?

Or the hopeless writing about the clueless.

There sure is a lot of “mile-wide-inch-deep” thinking among those selected. Not to worry, they’re going to all wind up married (except for Mememegan), living in the suburbs and driving the brats to soccer practice and Hitlerjugend meetings.
