excerpt:

thustotyrants, Selden, New York

short, stark, and mansome.

You should contact me if you are a skinny woman. If your words are a meaningful progression of concepts rather than a series of vocalizations induced by your spinal cord for the purpose of complementing my tone of voice. If you’ve seen the meatbot, the walking automaton, the pod-people, the dense, glazy-eyed substrate through which living organisms such as myself must escape to reach air and sunlight. If you’ve realized that if speech is to be regarded as a cognitive function, technically they aren’t speaking, and you don’t have to listen.

Zak, Long Island, New York

I am rational, integrated, and efficacious. So far, I’ve never met a person who lives up to the standard I hold for myself (except online).

I take my relationships seriously. I am simply not attracted to many of the women in this world. I do not “hook-up” with girls. I only kiss those who deserve, and so far I have only encountered one who did. I would love to find someone I can learn something from; someone who challenges me to think; someone I can feel like I’ve won, rather than lowered myself to.

Rob, Stanford, California

Ayn Rand ignited the fire within me that was searching for the right spark. My every action is guided according to my philosophy, and my philosophy is the philosophy of Ayn Rand.

I am interested in meeting someone that truly embodies the values and virtues of Objectivism. I have found very few women that have not already been beaten down to a flimsy, irrational, empty pulp. I have changed many girls’ lives, but no one has blown me away yet.

I never “hook-up” randomly, I never kiss a girl that doesn’t deserve mine. I have yet to find a girl deserving of my falling in love with her. But “other people” are secondary values no matter what, so finding someone is not a priority for me.

1. Hilarious. Very, very good.

Visit a Libertarian dating site and get the Atlas shrug-off.

Rand Paul is going to spawn a whole new genre of Libertarian jokes!

7. If you're good, I'll show you my "fountainhead."

[Macoy]

21. ONly Kissed one Girl

I loved the comment from the guy who only kissed one girl. He sounds like such a great catch. lol

2. Are they for real?!?

I never kiss a girl that doesn’t deserve mine
I’ve never met a person who lives up to the standard I hold for myself (except online).

These people are masturbating to their own self-aggrandizement. It's no wonder they can't get laid. No one can bear to be in the same room with them.

[LiberalLoner]

5. Narcissistic Personality Disorder, no doubt. n/t

[customerserviceguy]

10. It's good that they can't get laid

Makes it a bit harder to reproduce, especially for the men.

[RaleighNCDUer]

3. if this is satire, it is very funny.

if it is real, it is even funnier.

[wtmusic]

4. "People see me as a socially inept loner.."

I think that statement kinda proves it. :rofl:

[HillWilliam]

6. "I have changed many girls' lives"...

"...and now they all have restraining orders"

:rofl:

[wolfgangmo]

8. It's a great idea.

That is if you are looking for women to rape with impunity.



Barf.

9. I'm so turned on. Hold me back. nt

[awoke_in_2003]

15. That's not a picture of Hank Reardon...

in my pocket- I'm just happy to see you

[Heywood J]

11. Here we go:

Really, nothing is hotter than an accomplished girl in a suit, as long as she is willing to settle down and have my children.

That's just special. You can be accomplished, but get back in the kitchen and make me some pie.

My individualism takes precedence at all costs, if not at all times.

Translation: you're on your own if you want an orgasm. I'm turning over and falling asleep.

12. "An objectivist would never use a dating website."

:rofl:

[hatrack]

13. "I am the most incredibly important and special person who has ever lived."

"If you were (hypothetically) of a stellar quality approaching my own, unlikely though that might be, I could perhaps be persuaded to spend some of my precious time and attention on the likes of you.

But since I am just too special for that, and a narcissistic prick to boot, I'm going to go and jerk off to page 487 of "Atlas Shrugged" yet again."

[awoke_in_2003]

14. "Ayn Rand ignited the fire within me"

someone's standards aren't too high :)

[Joe Bacon]

19. I hate to tell him, but Dexedrine doesn't put the fire out.

Dexedrine DOES burn you out a la his beloved Ayn as in Mine :rofl:

[caraher]

16. Seems quite real

Here it is.

What I like is that the main page for the site quotes the following from a salon.com piece on niche dating sites as if it were intended as a compliment:

“My personal favorite (niche dating and social networking site).”
—Salon.com reviewer Lynn Harris

Fuller context:

People with pets can go to KissyKat.com, which is for single animal lovers willing to use a site called KissyKat.com. There's also -- my personal favorite -- the Ayn Rand Online Dating Service (part of the Rand-admirer community "the Atlasphere"), whose members, fans of Rand-flavor reason and rationality (and perhaps Objectivism), would totally win a rumble against the "metaphysically minded people" searching for their "twinflames" at Astral Hearts Metaphysical Personals.

17. If you have to place a personal ad, you aren't John Galt.

99% of the world's Ayn Rand fans don't realize they are not the elite; they are the pate they eat.

[GOPBasher]

18. Umm, are these parodies? Or are they real? If they're real, they're so

funny that they can be parodies of themselves.

[Joe Bacon]

20. You mean the Free Market isn't providing a mate for these Randbots?

C'mon Randbots, you're all about that Free Market shit.

You're all floating around in your LAISSEZ FAIRYLAND!

You believe in that survival of the fittest shit, RIGHT?

So go ahead and apply those free market principles and compete for the stud or slut of your choice.

C'mon! Those who live by the LAISSEZ know life's not FAIRE :rofl:
