I received the below email note yesterday, and I wanted to clarify some things for my readers.  99% of the time those who comment on my daily musings are supportive of the content I post.  There's that 1% of comments that can truly sting, especially when attacking personal character.  However, I understand that along with posting in social communities, you take on this very risk.  I get it, I really, really do.

1. This blog is a very small persona of the person I truly am.  It is one facade of me...the satirical, the cynical, the sarcastic side.  This is not an in-depth dissection into all the various components and life experiences that make me, well me. 
2. This blog is supposed to be written in the vain of being a Singleton.  End of story.  I don't go into diatribes about my child hood, my upbringing, my career, my other hobbies, etc.  While there are definitely mentions of them in this blog, I don't find the desire to write about those aspects of my life.
3. This blog is not supposed to be taken 100% serious.  I poke fun of situations, people and often times myself.  Sure, there are some posts that have an edge of seriousness to them (30 Truths) and there are days I write about my inner conflicts surrounding Singledom, but for the most part this blog is supposed to be taken at face value.
4. I am sorry I lost a reader.  But, I am not sorry about anything I have divulged over the last year of posts.  If I've made one person in the last 12 months chuckle, laugh or piss their panties with my stories, humor or writing style then I have done my job.  If I have made one reader ever think, "hey, I'm not alone" or, "wow, that's happened to me too, I can relate" or "hmmm, she's definitely got some good advice here", then I have also done my job.
5. If I have offended anyone along the way, my sincerest apologies.  That is and never will be the intent of this portal.

With that being said, I leave my current (dedicated readers) with this to chew on.  If only the person was ballsy enough to provide his/her real handle and/or email address.  So, Anonymous, if you are reading this, below entails my response to your concern(s).

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Celebrity Captions":

I understand a little bit of cynicism, and standing up for what you want. When I first started reading your blog, you were funny. The more I read, the more you come off as a stuck-up bitch. In one post you said you wanted a man who wasn't "worried about the emblem on the front of his car." Then you give that guy shit who had a picture in the Target parking lot in front of his car, because he wasn't impressing you?
You can't have it both ways.
Not to mention how you freak out on people CONSTANTLY. I get that a lot of guys on the online dating sites are creeps, but wow...you just attack everyone. The guy who said he had a crush on you, the guy who was three hours late that you proceeded to flip out on because you weren't comfortable enough to go to some parade on your own? Really???

Like attracts like. How you expect to get a kind, giving man when you come off as a rude, selfish bitch is beyond me. You shouldn't have to change yourself, but for God's sake, stop attacking anyone and everyone that tries to approach you. It's a pretty big freaking turn-off.

Maybe if you went out with friends instead of sitting alone at your computer tearing other people to shreds, you could actually find someone who might ALMOST meet your ridiculous standards.

Honestly, I'm not trying to be a total cunt. I feel like you COULD be happy...you just have all these walls up and no one is impressive enough to knock them all down. No one is perfect. Assess your own flaws, and remember that life is a bitch. People want a woman who they can relax with, not someone who's going to rip them apart.

I say this sincerely- I really hope whatever needs to click, does, so that you can be happy.

That said, I won't be reading your blog any more. 

Of course, I will take the opportunity within social and public platform to state my rebuttal.

Dear Anonymous,

Wow. You got me. Damn and I figured the blog was all serious all the time. Crap, I've been figured out. What can I say?

Every single post is full of really deep intellectual stuff.  OK so really....

The blog is a persona. The guy who was three hours late to the parade was my ex. The guy taking his picture in front of target was also showing off his luxury car ---- (read) this was the point I made that he felt the need to impress the ladies with a car.  Not my style.  Now do you get the point about how I don't car about the emblem on your ride?

I certainly understand your frustration with the blog but realize these are snippets of time that I write about. These are typically not life altering issues but quirky stupid insignificant things that happen to me.

I've dated a lot of nice gentlemen full of grace and stand-up character, however this blog is about the quirkiness of being single.  Did you get that?  Did you see the header on the blog title?  IT READS:  A DELICIOUSLY CYNICAL VIEW OF LIFE AS A SINGLETON.  

I am disappointed you are no longer a reader but, I respect your decision to un-commit to this blog. I do wish you weren't anonymous. Which leads me to believe if you won't come forward and acknowledge who you are, there's a slight chance I know you IRL.  If such is the case then you know enough about me to understand this is a satirical blog not meant to be taken seriously. 

Chances are I know you...Chances are I don't.  Needless, I am going to continue being me.  I am going to continue to write about the silly, the absurd, the random, the antics of dating, the ridiculousness of it all.  And if you ever care for a good laugh, maybe you'll come back. 

Fondly,
American Bridget(Jones)
