Bad Dave. Should have just gone right to the shocker oh oh didn’t seem to go so well:

So, all you singletons out there, now's your chance! Kori and Gabe, if you play your cards right, you too could be the next "Man of the Week." And ladies, cross your fingers, you might be the next lucky shocker recipient. UP

The good news: Pizzi and Allison are still on the market. So, all you singletons out there, now’s your chance! Kori and Gabe, if you play your cards right, you too could be the next “Man of the Week.” And ladies, cross your fingers, you might be the next lucky shocker recipient.

We must've been writing at the same time. NB: For all you Portugal posters out there (i.e. Figo, Crisiano, Korey), the Postuguese word for "shocker" is "shustu." I learned this from Ana's cousin--God bless his soul--right before he offered to take me to a peep show in Lisbon. Sorry to mimic Andy’s post. We must’ve been writing at the same time.

Underappreciated quote from Blaire: "Best of luck Dave! Although we ended awkwardly and uncomfortably I wish you all the best." Awesome. 2. Too bad for me: Blaire's looking only for Jewish guys. Korey could pass for one way easier than I could. 3. I think the correct pronunciation is more along the lines of "sushtu" although all of my memories of those weeks are drowned in some combination of vinho verde and that really strong Portuguese coffee. 4. I couldn't go out with a girl named Blaire anyway. It sounds like the name of one of John Kerry's estates. A few comments:

Why do I get the feeling that what bothered Blaire wasn't Dave's "openess" but that Dave didn't allow Blaire to talk about herself enough. Which she clearly loves to do. I can hear it now...."Enough about me, let's talk about you. What do YOU think about me?" And since I'm baring my claws, I'll go further. That girl is an averagely attractive woman who posted some highly air brushed photo of herself. And she didn't even have the stones to post the negative feedback she's received-check out her guestbook. She wants everyone to think the the public is totally behind her. About 80% of her guestbook entries are hostile/critical/brutal opinions from her "public." Face it...she's one of the thousands of averagely attractive women who have deluded themsleves into pining for guys out of their league. She's no Maxim model, but her expectations would make you think she was. Yeah, but Dave never called Blaire back.

Some of us weren't born with a silver spoon in our mouths, offering the luxury of not dealing with school loans or uptight ivy leaguers. Perhaps there is an insecurity issue with Mr. Mann, as his book knowledge may be advanced beyond Mr. Pizzi's, but social interaction is nearing zero. He was able to write this article, so he's not quite at zero... Is there anything wrong with Montclair State University?
