20. Yeah, there are crazies out there

and I'm betting dollars to yen that at least a few responses were trying to counter-troll her...

I've just never understood the whole "let me make a fake ad with a hot photo so I can laugh at all the pathetic male responses" -thing...

Like I said, with the male-female ratio so far out of balance it's a big enough pain in the ass trying to find *real* ads on most sites (and a bigger PITA trying to get a response out of them)...

Nevermind the fact that this stunt has been pulled dozens of times before by bloggers--There isn't even anything particularly new or interesting in what she's discovered...There used to be a site (maybe it's still around) dedicated to nothing but showing screencaps of bad/sad/pathetic ads from dating sites, and the bad/sad/pathetic responses they got from their fake trolling ads...
