Does It Have To Be Knuth, Or Is Cormen, Leiserson and Rivest Okay?

Pseudo-intellectual Craigslist personals in A2 getting on your nerves? Maybe Troy is more your speed. “[D]on’t be smart,” the poster requests. “I’m looking for a woman who doesn’t pretend to be smart. I’ve tried to meet ’smart’ women only to find that they have little social grace or street smarts.” Could it be this guy after realizing that understanding and laughing at his Gödel jokes are two different things?

  5. “If you are sociable and have common sense AND are pretty in the face and in-shape in the body”

    I guess he wants her “stupid in the brain” as well.

  6. Certainly he will not have any problem finding unintelligent people in SE Michigan - I think I’m surrounded by them. And he certainly has a lot to choose from.

    Like this woman.
    Or this one.
    Or even this loser.

  7. But I have to ask…what is AAiO doing hanging out in the casual encounters and M4W section of CL??? Eh? Maybe I’ll have to post an ad “28 yo str8 prof swm iso NSA sex w/ AA h8trs” Maybe I’ll throw in a joke about the time I calculated the Greenhouse-Geisser correction factor with my penis.

  9. What the hell do I know about these things? NSA = No Strings Attached, right? Or is it Normal Sexual Activity? I don’t know the CL lingo - but you should definitely check out the rants and raves section to see the true crazies come out.

    The Greenhouse-Geisser trick I can only pull out with a statistician - you have to know at least a little linear algebra to get it. I’ll shut up now.

  11. you can only pull out with a statistician? ha ha ha

    sorry, that was a funny typo

    I thought NSA stood for National Security Agency. You know, the Spook Department. I thought you were trolling for spy sex (which, by the way, I think might also involve some linear algebra).

    Well, you know, all that A2-hating gets lonely sometimes…

    NSA sex does not officially exist. You have to call it “DOD sex.”
