Crackpot analogy #9992

[unbibium]

You know that slimy, icky feeling you get whenever some financial institution tells you you're "pre-approved" for some line of credit that you didn't ask for, you don't need, and that would probably bog you down in debt in the long run?

Well, sometimes men pre-approve women, and it gives them the exact same feeling.

Pre-approval might work in college, when you're naïve and confused and a little hung over, and the offers are coming at you from all sides, and you figure you'll take one just to see what the fuss is about.  But to anyone else, it's like a turd in your cereal.

Only eight more and I'll hit 10,000!

Aren't personal ads all sort of like pre-approved credit card letters?

Nah, I think they're like any other ad in the paper.

Pre-approval in the courtship process usually manifests itself as, for example, following her around like a puppy dog, being overly flattering, being overly forgiving, giving her free stuff all the time, etc.

Imagine if a credit card company wrote you a personal ten-page letter and made you a mix tape. What kind of ass-reaming interest rates must they be charging to be making money on that kind of pitch?
