Comment from steevie
That is one heck of a story, Alexis! I could totally see where having that many responses from a dating site would qualify for the feeling of surreal.
Its one of those moments in life where too much is too much.
I really enjoyed your story. It made me chuckle lots
take care

LOL. hilarious. the story couldve ended on a stronger note but the turn of events and the twist in magnitude and proportion of your shopping day is fascinating. i hope its a true story or if its not youve done well to make it seem like it is because that makes it alot funnier. best of luck to you and may your future endeavours be as exciting, of even if theyre not this certainly makes for a great annecdote at a party. i also appreciate the simple, honest, writing style it suited the story.

Comment from Doc Holiday
Wow! I wouldn't have believed it, if I just had read it as a contest prompt, but to see your picture and to hear your testimonial; this is really funny!
On the positive side, and there are quite a few; you got a nice swimsuit, good story, and great P.R.!
Very well-done!

I think the PR side of things is the best thing about this because I can't really take the dating side of things very seriously, especially now! Give me a man who admires my brain more than my brawn any day! Thank you for your lovely review. Alexis x
Comment from Patrick G Cox
Hi alexisleech,
I think that's hilarious. I bet the dating site was delighted - what an advert.
I hope M&S comes up with something good for you.
Well written, funny and cautionary.

Comment from Narvik
Va Va Voom! You should've known that photo would have that effect. You have dicovered first hand that we men's priorities lie firmly below the neck.
Hey, super story, Alexis. Not only was it humorous and interesting, but very well-written as well. And congratulations on your new fame!

Comment from Spitfire
What a great story. And the picture is what made me read!
Long, but I couldn't stop. Unbelievable about the date site. Shows what these men are looking for! The whole event will be great publicity to sell you book. Use the picture on the back cover.

Comment from Spiritual Echo
Great experience and very well written. the whole thing is a HUGE ego boost, but apparenly one you deserve, mostly for your couragous posting on the dating site. But it sounds like you deserve the compliments, so just enjoy it all.
