The lowdown
I like to see people who know what they looking for, and I don’t mind if they over rate themselves - life will fix it. The fact is that we, man, usually behave and believe that regardless of how we are women will just fall into our arms. It is perfectly fine to say:
I’m sorry if I’ve offended you, but I’m also really sick of getting e-mailed several times a week by delusionally hopeful men who read my blog and think because I am *their* dream girl that I’ll therefore want them too. Too often they act crushed when I reject them, which I feel bad about, but if they had stopped to consider whether they had as much to offer me as I have to offer them then they might have had more realistic expectations.
Unlike other responses, I just added her blog to my blogroll.

Like the lady I am also self aware and I know that although my many qualities I'm not going to qualify. I'm still wonder why my wife agreed to be with me (and I'm sure she is too...)

P.S: oh no, just read the part where she likes science fiction. I take it all back. :-)

The fact is that our culture allow us to pretend that regardless of our true value, as a man, women will fall in our arms. You can see movies with old actors acting as the male lead with young and beautifully actresses by their side. you do not see the opposite.
We, the man, jump in shock with the post because she called our lie. She want to have a fair exchange of values and we all call her names.
She might be blunt but she is talking as we man are talking for generations - and I like her approach for that.

I think that you reading her wrong in that respect. She is an Objectivist and as such she is just making a trade. You can accept it or not but she is presenting her qualities and asking a fair value in exchange. Could it done more gracefully? sure. But I think that all what she did was to level the field.

It doesn't take an IQ of 145, nor a BA, to know that it's not nice to brag. If she wanted to tell people to stop hitting on her via Email, she could have done that differently.
