Yeah, this whole thing was a non-event. The guy had no idea she wrote this and he was very -meh- about the date. Basically he's an internet hero now and she's a pariah.

Strange that her internship ended so soon after the article was released. She says she wasn't fired, but the timing is suspect.
 
What is up with the little pre-script at the top?

A) It's bullshit. It tries to say, "Oh the story sounds mean but it totally isn't, it's about how we learn tolerance LoL!!!11" and
B) Was it there originally or was it added after the story was posted and people realized this chick was a complete douchnozzle?

I think the pre-script was added after they started getting so many negative complaints about the content.
 
One man show of Jeff Dahm? Where do I get tickets?

During my MTG days, I HAD to be a bitch (not like it was hard) because I was the only girl in a good 100mile radius that played in the local tournaments. Even when I went to Pre-Release tournaments, I was one of hundreds that were female. To make it worse, most of the females that WERE there, were dragged into the game by boyfriends so they weren't that good to begin with. So by the time I would entire the top 100 or so in a tournament, I was doing the solo flight again. The constant stares, the "hushed" comments, the over crowding at whatever table I was playing at, it was annoying as all hell. That was one of the reasons I stopped playing, one of a few but still it was enough.

What was the point of all that? MTG guys can be very hard to approach, mostly because their exposure to females (especially on the upper crust of playing levels) is extremely limited. I'm almost sure this guy wasn't just shut down for his gaming choice, it was almost assuredly his choice of entertainment for the night and some extremely awkward/creepy vibe come ons.
 
It just makes it look worse IMO. This is, without a doubt, a terrible article and if they had any intelligence they wouldn't have published it. At the very least they should have just deleted it. I mean shit people, complaining about "nerds" on "gawker"??? Good grief. Thats like a complaining about chocolate on a dessert blog.

It is an op/ed piece. I rather doubt Gawker even looked twice at it before they let it be posted.
 
Very true. After a quick google search it sounds like it was trolling done specifically to up their hit count.

Bravo Gawker, bravo. Be proud. You are the prettiest troll on the web today.

I dug her picture up on GIS... she's not hideous or anything, but she's not exactly a supermodel either.

Oh come on, making fun of how she looks/dresses? I expect better of you guys. Better insults anyway. What cheap shots.

All I was saying is she's not attractive enough to pull dates with multimillionaires with regularity. Debra Lafave got to be "to pretty for prison," but this girl isn't pretty enough to be a bitch and not get called on it.

Well...... I think she is a total douche to publish that article.

The article is mean.
 
Before anything else, that picture.... ouch. Some women do feel entitled for looking mediocre at best.

Can't judge the guy really, good for him for winning millions of dollars and will hopefully put himself out there instead on OKCupid where women peruse the catalog of the penises. Better chances to find someone NORMAL.

Because as much as she wants to sound like she wants to find someone normal, she's one hell of a hypocrite.

What a dumbass.
