Don’t believe them, Sakkie!

I’m sure you’ve all seen the advert by a certain “Dating Service” on this page: a half-nude young lady, posing with the sunset in the background. If you didn’t notice the sunset in the background, I don’t blame you…

The advert carries the catch line: BETTER THAN FACEBOOK. Now, to me, ANYTHING is better than Facebook, but I carried on reading anyway – call it research, if you like. (Or boredom.)

Last week there was the sunset photo of the half-nude young lady – almost wearing a G-string – with her thrust-out oily backside, staring over her right shoulder at the camera, as if to say: “Laat net één donner lag!

This week, there was another one: A photo of an unsmiling young lady, lying on her back on a couch (you didn’t see the couch, Sakkie?), with her knees pulled up to her ample mammary glands, and her whatsisname smiling at the camera. And then, the ad cautions: “Warning! This site contains explicit images of someone you know from Pretoria. View photos.”

Well, I never! This I’ve simply got to see! I live in Pretoria! Maybe they’ve got a pic of the neighbour’s voluptuous wife!

Click! I went. (On the advert, Sakkie!) This is what I saw:

“Have you ever dated Asian Women?” (*Last week it was Russian women.)

“Let me tell you... it's better than anything you have ever experienced before. These women are extremely loyal and family-oriented, and over the past 50 years have developed a fascination with “westernized men.” Many young Asian women are extremely attracted to Canadian/British/American/etc men. If you are over 25 and from Canada/UK/USA/etc, you will do very well. Being brought up in a different culture, our members are pleasantly shocked and refreshed at how aggressive these women can be in the pursuit of a man. Raised to be very selfless, one could say they make perfect wives. Treat them well, and you’ll never experience a happier relationship from a more giving woman.”

What a bunch of liars! Not even ONE photo of the neighbour’s wife or of anyone else that I know in Pretoria!

And not even ONE word about the Russian or Asian ladies’ ability to cook, clean, mow the lawn, repair the car, fix the plumbing, paint the roof, or put out the garbage! Nothing!!!

I wonder if I should report this “Dating Service” to the Advertising Standards Authority of South Africa…
