No, not at all, I disagree.

Bollocks.

I'd rather stay single than have a relation with a "normal" woman. Boring, boring, boring. You might as well play Ludo instead of chess.

Just to comment on an extremely vital aspect of your post: if you want to get fancy with your ø's, the Danish spelling is København. However, the place has a perfectly valid English name, Copenhagen, which you should use when writing in English.

Edit: oh damn, someone was ahead in the nitpicking queue.

But, just a detail that doesn't look right in my Scandinavian eyes:

But everything else that you write I read with most interest!

Perhaps you come from a long generation of exceptionally intelligent people. Average intelligence may be higher than the general average in your pedigree. Perhaps that is reflected as a different average for your family when it comes to attraction.

50% off at Kohl's actually saves you 50%

Two for one actually is a great deal that equates to half off, or in a sense, two for one

We'll also send you this for free when you purchase that

or even worse, we'll send this to you absolutely free and you pay only shipping and handling

and, of course, if you aren't 100% satisfied, you get a full refund (minus shipping and handling)

Wrong thread? 😉
