I love your work! Wasnt sure how to get you to see this or the group so am putting it here: “matched”

With someone on an app and the usual, where did you grow up, HS, college, blah blah blah.

His respnse to my Catholic HS (he listed he is Catholic) was this:

“Ah, Catholic schoolgirl, interesting”

I think that is a B2B and super creepy…thoughts?

ABSOLUTELY super creepy! Imagine going with "pedophile vibes" as your way to appeal to women 🙄

I B2B but not before I replied with some choice words: (probably shouldn’t have wasted my time but couldn’t help myself!)

"Catholic schoolgirl, interesting"..what does that even mean? I think I know, and that is so creepy...you are why online dating sux... and why my dog proves to be a far better and smarter companion...

Hope you find the bimbo you are looking for...

I found this in Facebook and found it fascinating. How people meet their other half: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/Y1TdrxmN1Epj2MqM/?mibextid=WC7FNe

Hello Jennie,

I too want to congratulate for you ‘work’ and believe it is far bigger than you may have even planned.

Since being a member and now subscribed to your six week course, I have realised that your words have empowered me to bring all of your ‘rules’ into every relationship of my life.

Five months ago it was published in The Sydney Morning Herald that:

A woman is being violently killed in Australia every four days this year.

https://www.smh.com.au/national/a-woman-is-being-violently-killed-in-australia-every-four-days-this-year-20240424-p5fmcb.html

To get to the point, I believe that your words, which are taking off the blinkers in society, will allow us to begin to stand up for ourselves, and recognise when a relationship is abusive, build women’s self esteem and confidence to know ‘they’ve got this’. To give women tools to recognise abusive relationships and be able to leave feeling empowered.

I live in a village with my mother and a neighbor told my Mum that an elderly man in the village said to her: “the only snake you need to be worried about is the snake between my legs”. This is a new man to the village who moved in with his wife.

You, Jennie, is ‘waking’ us all up and the sleazy, inappropriate conversations need to be called out.

I APPLAUD you.I believe you are called for such a time as this.

Kind regards and Thank you,

Gail Robinson

When will you offer your class again? I discovered you in August, right about the time you started the last class, and couldn’t take it then…

Jennie, I found your FB page right about few months after deciding (yet again) that I was going to make time to try to find someone, and everything you write appeals greatly to me, a self-proclaimed communication facilitator (I am a sales rep for many small, independent, U.S.-made greeting card companies). It was right about the time you launched the last rhetoric class, which I very much wanted to take, but I was too busy right then. When will you offer the class again?

Did you see Tawkify’s latest ad campaign? Blatant appropriation of your content. “Find Your Needle in a Haystack.” I realize imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but . . .
