It's Time For Blaire To Get Married....and She Needs Your Help! Heh. Looks like she's looking for an ex-husband.
If this was a guy it would be creepy and scary.
yea, but then we could at least laugh at it.
when it's a female who is actually attractive... i dunno.
is it okay to oogle?

This woman is nowhere near as creepy as Mary Romantic (discussed on MeFi here). And Space Coyote, what about 10K for a Wife? Prior discussions of this kind of site here and here.

Attractive people can get away with anything. I wonder if 'she' is actually a 12 year old boy.

I discussed this site in my devirginizemarc.com post a few weeks ago. I am so ahead of my time!
I do think it's interesting that she's created a website about getting married and he (Marc) created a website about getting devirginized. And both are getting similar amounts of scorn.
Note also the frightening "This is how I'll look when my husband asks me to marry him" photo.

1. She's not that attractive.
2. She's a fucking psycho.
3. She probably doesn't do anal.
Not marraige material, IMHO.

Since she admits she meets lots of men through her work, I would guess the reason she hasn't got engaged yet is that she is setting her standards way too high. She's good looking and obviously quite intelligent, so I doubt she has too many men turning her down.
Word of advice, love - Mr Perfect ain't out there. You'll have to settle for Mr Pretty Good.

Never quite understood this "time to get married" thing, anyhow. Surely, the only "time to get married" is when you've met the right person and you both agree it's something you want to do? It's almost as bad as a "time to have babies". For crying out loud, stop trying to live the life your parents mapped out for you and enjoy the world as it is!

Wow, she's actually not fat. From the tight face shot on the first page, I woulda guessed mudflaps for sure: "Here's my picture! Isn't the area between my upper lip and eyebrows attractive?" Uh. Yeah. Red flag.
But she's actually not made out of cottage cheese... So then... what?
Oh. Psycho. Gotcha.

Keeps us thinking love's too pure to see another face
Love's another skin-trap, another social weapon
Another way to make men slaves and women at their beckon
Love's another sterile gift, another shit condition
That keeps us seeing just the one and others not existing
Woman in a holy myth, a gift of mans expression
She's sweet, defenceless, golden-eyed, a gift of gods repression
If we didn't have these codes for love, of tokens and positions
We'd find ourselves as lovers still, not tokens of possessions
It's a natural, it's a romance, without the power and greed
We can fight to life the cover if you want to sow a seed
Do you love me? Do you? Do you? Don't you see they aim to smother
The actual possibilities of seeing all the others?
-smother love
At least she's got a sense of humor about her singing.

I want to see the emails from the women who are saying she's a whackjob instead of "You go girl!" You know she's getting them. I'd send one, but meh. Guess at 34 I missed my shot, if 27 is when us wimmins are "supposed" to get married.
I think she's doing it for $$ anyway. She's done a hell of a marketing job to get all that press attention. She'll be making ugly handbags a la Monica Lewinsky by next summer.

The trick to getting married is simple: apathy. You start dating someone, but are too lazy to break up with them. You might be able to do better, but a bird in the hand...
Having criteria (other than gender, and perhaps age) is bad news for getting married. You have to have no expectations - they will not be met. Which might be a good thing - sometimes you find that what you thought you wanted was not what you wanted at all. Maybe what would make you most happy is not the tall, dark and handsome stranger to be your "king," but the kind, funny person who is first and foremost your friend.

"I coach singles on improving their self esteem, increasing self-awareness and growth (I'm a Love Coach - www.loveguru.net ) as well as plan events for couples. I know relationships. Furthermore, I run my own Bachelorette Planning company (Metro Event Planners - www.metroplanners.com). "
I run screaming from the evil "Love Coach". How exactly does one get to be a Love Coach? Do you have to start out as a Love Player for a few years then retire and wait for someone to hire you as an Assistant Love Coach in the college ranks then work your way up ?

I hadn't really formed an opinion of this woman until I listened to her mp3. I think she's hysterical. Anyone who can draw that much attention to herself and then poke fun at herself can't be that bad. That takes quite a bit of humility.

Word of advice, you might want to work on that look. Scary!
1. She's not that attractive.
2. She's a fucking psycho.
3. She probably doesn't do anal.
Not marraige material, IMHO.

The world is filled with crazy therapists, who can solve anyone's problems but their own. This lonely Love Coach is so predictable that if she did not exist, she would be invented. What is saddest to me about this thread is the willingness to belittle her with sneers about her expectations - shades of Jon Lovitz? - although I commend PigAlien's joyful recovery of "hysterical."
I wonder if Blaire is caught between a desire to live exactly as she wants and a compulsion to follow a script that is slightly at odds. Even if her frame of reference is not completely true, she can still win, as she defines it. There is nothing so strange that there is no one who excited by it, and the Internet vastly increases the odds of winning such a numbers game.
Or maybe she's just a JAP. We don't really know.

The point of this isn't desperation, the point of this clearly is to have fun, get attention and (also) to flaunt the relatively succesful and good looking guys willing to be part of her grand experiment.
It is obviously not the case that someone like Blair has to "go public" like this. Every decent looking, under 30 Jewish girl I know who's listed herself on the dating sites ends up getting HUNDREDS of replies ...
Even after eliminating the obvious psychos and perverts, and then running the "40 screen" (waistband and age under 40, income over $40k) they were each left with dozens of reasonably likely potentials; they could have spent years working through the list.

uhm... jewish people for thousands of years... it's in their marriage contracts; she will treat him as her king and he will treat her as his queen. i'm pretty sure she's referencing that tradition when she makes that statement.
she is a bit out there but some of the comments in this thread are downright creepy - there's nothing like an oddball and his/her website to bring out the goatse qualities of most mefites.

I have a really great story to tell you - I met a guy! Now this is no ordinary meeting, it's one that was brought together by "the forces above." Let me tell you....
I was at this TV shoot on Tuesday and there was this guy there checking me out. I only saw him twice and we had no reason to interact, but I was definitely intrigued and attracted to him.
Anyway, I was there for an hour and then left. I didn't think much of it...
I get home that evening and notice an email - from HIM!
