How NOT to be an internet celebrity

April 25th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I’ve met douchebags, and I’ve met douchebags. This guy, though? The man is in a class of his own. The level of which man excels at douchebaggery is a work of art. Take a look through the playlist on his site. That kind of thing requires dedication. Can you tell that I like saying “douchebags”?

This first came to light around last summer when someone showed interest on his match.com profile. When this occured, he asked the person for additional pictures, since this woman only had (BOOM) headshot pics. He was also able to manage interlacing this request with several instances of braggadocio in the process. Naturally, the woman wasn’t pleased, and when she rejected him on personality grounds, the douchebaggery went supercritical.

I think you forgot how this works. You hit on me, and therefore have to impress ME and pass MY criteria and standards - not vice versa. 6 pictures of just your head and your inability to answer a simple question lets me know one thing. You are not in shape. I am a trainer on the side, in fact, I am heading to the gym in 26 minutes!

So next time you meet a guy of my caliber, instead of trying to turn it around, just get to the gym! I will even give you one free training session, so you don’t blow it with the next 8.9 on Hot or Not, Ivy League grad, Mensa member, can bench/squat/leg press over 1200 lbs., has had lunch with the secretary of defense, has an MBA from the top school in the country, lives in a Buckhead high rise, drives a Beemer convertible, has been in 14 major motion pictures, was in Jezebel’s Best dressed, etc. Oh, that is right, there aren’t any more of those!

John

At first I thought this was some sort of internet meme that had a loose grasp with the truth. Oh, how wrong I was. He’s actually got an IMDB listing and was on CNN. And apparently he’s going to be on an episode of Dr. Phil regarding male egos.

Watching the guy on the CNN clip, I can almost feel sorry for the guy and he has some valid points about how someone took one of his private e-mails and made it public. Had he just disappeared into the woodwork, yeah, I could see feeling sorry for this complete jackass. Instead, he’s trying to capitalize on his fifteen minutes of fame by making YouTube videos and appearing on Dr. Phil, so I think the bastard deserves any derision he gets. And here’s an interesting question. If this guy is as awesome as he thinks he is, why does he need something like Match.com to find dates?

One good thing about him though. He makes guys like me look pretty damn good by comparison.
