Is this guy serious?

After reading this post, I was stunned. The ending is my favorite! This is a m4w post.

Alright - I'm Hispanic, I got a beard, and I'm chubby!

Dont like sorry hun, hit back.

I'm a sweetheart jerk. I love being a gentleman, but I'll be a pompous prick all the while.

I'm a little under 5'8. And from jump I consider myself someone that deserves love, I aint gonna settle for anythin else. I dont expect to fall in love with you, if we just have a good time, with some shared feelings then its more then worth it. But I want to at least believe the possibility of love is there.

I'm a simple man, that plays chess, listens to underground hiphop, enjoys cooking, holds true to his insane ideals, and philosophies the most mundane things.

I swear Hiphop, Anime and Comic books was my genesis... Music is something that is part of my life, as much as anything else. I always want to have a beat or a rhythm to my life, and music offers this. I love watching Saturday morning cartoons with a bowl of captain crunch mixed with some lucky charms relaxin in bed with my little brothers. I grew up reading comic books, I found myself shaping my identity around my heroes, this sense of nobility, honor and justice that could only be found in fiction, became my blueprint to how I wanted to be as a man.

I'm looking for a girl worth a damn I really dont got a race or size, or anything, just gotta be cute - Its that simple!

These types of people that create these ads are hilarious. I always get a great laugh from these flip flop people. To put this in a pop culture lens, Katy Perry would classify this guy as 'Hot N Cold,' which is exactly what this guy is. He's one end of the spectrum, but has episodes with the opposite pole.

I honestly can't find one aspect of this person that displays stability in any perspective. Everything that he says is contradictory. For instance, "[He's] a simple man, that plays chess, listens to underground hiphop, enjoys cooking, holds true to his insane ideals, and philosophies the most mundane things," Are you kidding me? He calls himself simple, yet still holds himself to insane ideals while being philosophical? I'll opt to not talk about the mundane part. I'm sure the point has gotten across.

The second to last paragraph is almost convincing that this person does not have an inner conflict about everything. When he says "I grew up reading comic books, I found myself shaping my identity around my heroes, this sense of nobility, honor and justice that could only be found in fiction, became my blueprint to how I wanted to be as a man," I thought okay, this guy has some moral fiber that doesn't contradict anything.

But then I looked back just to double check, and became disappointed. His idols are comic book superheroes. Fair enough, they're popular with millions. However, this person probably fits more into the villain classification than the hero. As he said, his heroes are noble, honorable and justified. What he did not say was order, which is the backbone for any superhero. Superheros are based (for the most part) around order, not chaos. Villains are more chaos based, while being noble, honorable and justified in their own right. This probably goes without saying, but this person's personality is quite chaotic.

My favorite part is easily his last statement: "It's that simple!" Hopefully people could see through that last ditch of 'normality' this individual tries to convey.
