I have no feelings towards Chancellor Silber’s comments on the ratio of men to women here at BU. I don’t notice it in class or on Commonwealth. Perhaps I don’t notice the difference because I’m in heaven, and I am in this amazing land where “Brazilian supermodels” go for a “George Costanza” like me. I am writing this letter in response to Dena Libner, who, if you didn’t know, is having quite a rough time of finding a semi-cute guy to neck with. Apparently her problem springs from the fact that all the “unattractive men” are dating “hot women”, which is making it tough for a girl like her to “score”, the meaning of which is ambiguous. I haven’t been at school here for long. I’m a transfer student, and between me, you and the wall, I don’t have babes flocking to me (even though I am fetching and sassy all at the same time). Perhaps it’s my lack of Diesel jeans and shoes. Maybe it’s because I don’t have the fall Abercrombie catalog (which is sooo last year). I think the real problem is that I can’t relate to the girls here. I don’t know anything about makeup, or shopping. I retract my last comments, for I do not want to make the same mistake Ms. Libner is making, that being a special way of alienating a whole population of people at this school. The point is, you can’t make judgements on what you don’t know. Maybe I don’t know what I’m talking about because of my poisoned Costanza eyes. Perhaps the problem is Ms. Libner herself. She may not think that personality is important in someone because she does not have one herself. That could be the reason she is having a problem finding someone decent: no one wants to talk to her. I’m not trying to personally attack or get into a mudslinging argument. It’s just that the appalling stupidity of Ms. Libner’s article took me by surprise. But thank you Ms. Libner, for sharing with us your sex life. Also, thanks for reminding me that my mind has not rotted to the extent of others.
P.S. I may rock hard but I am not made of stone
