Laura has been staying home, trying to avoid contact with the guy who has been plaguing her and driving her crazy. But then she hears from a friend that this guy has been already contacting other women on one of the local dating websites.
This sets her off in a fury. As I discussed in the last post this jealousy emotion must have its roots in some kind of adaptive behavior, perhaps of not having to waste precious resources on other people's children or something, but in today's highly communicative society it quickly leads to trouble.
Laura's response was to put her picture up on the same site. Under the picture she writes that she has just broken-up with a scum-bag and that she feels the best way to get over him is to have a very quick sexual encounter with a stranger. She wrote that she thinks doing that would cure her of thinking about him, and that the stranger would not be expected to stick around, or have any other responsibilities.
Within four hours she had 215 concerned, sensitive men volunteering to help her get over her lost relationship.
It's nice to know people care.
At this time Laura has not yet chosen the lucky winner. She may be re-thinking the idea.

Oh, no! Quickly talk her out of it!
I've been told more than once that the best way to get over a man is to get under one.
Fortunately, I've never taken the advice but judging by Laura's reaction and the overwhelming response, seems like it's a rather popular 'antidote'.
My father would say "she's cutting her nose to spite her face." I used to do that a lot too. [shudder] Thankfully it's gotten so much better...
Ha ha. All I can do is laugh.
I'm sorry, is that rude of me? But it speaks to the nature of both men and women and it IS kind of funny!
People are funny! It is amazing what you can do online to attract people towards you...it is kinda scary.
Success can be the sweetest revenge but she needs to look at how she defines that success.... perhaps in having a more meaningful relationship. Her knee-jerk reaction sounds like she was acting based upon how she perceives he defines success.
Who can blame the 200+ guys.
