Then why do some people treat it as a hostile takeover?

Oh well, at least Reuters has now picked up the story!

If you go on to the HK CL site, there is a similar sort of ad by a young lady named Jomie. She is very serious and an actual person. Her post is throughly entertaining....there are now over 40 ad's on HK CL mocking her! Quite entertaining....

Spot on, climber.
The [other forum] personals are great for long lists of demands from local gals. "Must not suck thumb or chew finger like baby" was my fave, buried within an 800 word list of rules from some gal seeking marriage. Yeah, can't wait to skip down to the altar and recite that lot ...

This was the best personal from a local girl I ever saw. Jeez, talk about demanding and hard to please. Ya think she could narrow her criteria down just a wee bit more?

Some of the qualities I am looking for in a man are that you should be WHITE (CAUCASIAN) between the age of 25 and 35; Blue/green eyed with blond/auburn straight; short hair; tall and athletic/thin; Cute, attractive,caring, generous, honest and faithful; has no/do not want any children;loves animals; love to spoil and pamer me!

I reckon you're just upset because you fall outside the criteria, sylvesterjay

And she still knocked you back? That's just mean. I'm sure you're better off without her

[sylvesterjay]

a woman that demanding would be impossible to please and I could tell from one read of her profile she is too high maintenance and waaaaaaaay too much work to even bother approaching. besides I'm happily taken by a wonderful girl that spoils and 'pamers' me.

I wonder, is that a cross between pamper and hammer?

I think it's all a matter of perspective..
I'm not ashamed to say, i was raised in the creme of Sydney society. Attended the best schools and all that jaz.. the women in my life ranged from stunning to very plain...but they all had one thing in common: wealth.

Not to sound elitist, but this woman's problem is simple: money marries money. That's why the so-called 'plain' looking women on the upper east side are married to millionaires, and the gorgeous gold-digger is left trawling craigslist for a rich husband.

Her only ticket into wealth and privelege is making it herself. That said, she doesn't sound like she's got the brains, or the drive, to make herself rich. She wants the easy option; So similar to the many women I've met while working in Hong Kong...sad yet bloody hilarious.
