CNBC babe Erin Burnett makes a complete fool of herself.

CNBC's Erin Burnett knows what she likes in a man, though it's not clear she actually likes men as anything more than people who can buy her stuff.

She wrote a piece for Men's Health magazine entitled "8 Ways to Impress Me." Her "8 Ways" aren't impressive, they're pretty sad. They pretty much boil down to "give me stuff and stay away."

It's one thing to think this way, there are no doubt many people out there who do, it's quite another to tell the world.

Here's one example:

[tralfaz7]

What a complete and total fool! "Buy me stuff and I might like you." Either she's really tight with her own money or they don't pay her very well, which we know isn't the case.

[toddlintown]

Hey honey. I’ll give you stuff if you give me stuff. Let me show you my stuff.

[toddlintown]

Men’s Health magazine is a rag for male conceits and guys with more hair than me.

[cripplecreek]

There’s no one less attractive than a beautiful self centered conceited b**ch.

[devane617]

She is a duck...Lots of makeup hides all the yellow stuff, and paddle feet.

[cripplecreek]

Love the picture tag though. LOL

[freekitty]

Not much there in that empty vessel.

[zencat]

Sounds like Erin got the talking points memo from my ex-wife.

[the invisib1e hand]

hunh. i used to think she was cute.

[TexasMatty]

Isn’t this chick the Street sweetie that Rush had on?

[goodnesswins]

okay....what freeper put the byline on the arrow....when you place it over her picture....LOL

[lesser_satan]

I’d hit it.

[colorado tanker]

"give me stuff and stay away"

Gee, that's not much of a deal. Even a prostitute would let you stay for a while.

[Bobkk47]

One of the things that would impress her is to buy her round-trip tickets so her parents can fly to Australia and New Zealand. What kind of wussie (I won't even say "man") would do a thing like that. For What!?

[Tijeras_Slim]

I’d hit it.

She'll itemize the invoice.

[RightWhale]

She doesn’t appear to have youth going for her anymore, and appears also to be somewhat emaciated and dry. It’s a crisis.

[HIDEK6]

Not much there in that empty vessel.

That says it all.

[chiefqc]

Keep thinking that way so when you get old, breasts touching your knees, butt draging on the floor and nobody wants to be near you you’ll see how moronic your views were.

But alas, it will then be to late.

[Othniel]

Used to read MH years ago. It was really good: insightful articles, work out & nutrition stuff, how to handle emergencies, and it was well written. There was a lot of funny stuff, too. Then they got a new editor who didn't understand marriage, or commitment, or fatherhood, and it all went downhill. Don't even look at it in the store anymore, as it's a mere shadow of its former self.

[2harddrive]

But, is she HOT??? Pics, please.

[Politicalmom]

Choose better next time.

My husband brought me a pomegranate for our anniversary, and I loved it. :)

[exit82]

What do you expect from a girl that thinks the President is a monkey?

Hey, Erin: IRON MY SHIRT!

[nhoward14]

Ladies and gentlemen, the next Maureen Dowd!

[Petronski]

Your post reminds me of an old old joke.

I remember the first time I had sex, it was a very tender moment. It was so special, in fact, I kept the receipt.

[pissant]

They make fine one night stands....if you are into that. LOL

1 Timothy 6:10
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

I can see where a woman may wish to be able to see that a potential mate can be expected to support a family. This is ancient wisdom. The list above is however a hedonistic mess and intensely narcissistic.

"Edify Me"

Will it hurt?

[P.O.E.]

She just believes what she sees on TV commercials

[ArrogantBustard]

Some blogger's RESPONSE

Warning: Crude, rude, and socially unacceptable. But funny.

[cripplecreek]

That reminds me of a girl I used to work with.

One day she bragged to me that 5 guys had asked to marry her but she turned them all down. I asked her “why?” and she said it was because she didn’t want to marry them. It threw her for a loop when I said “No, I mean why did they ask to marry you?”.

[winner3000]

This guy’s response is the best! LOL!

ping for home

[bahblahbah]

Oh please, leave her alone.

[loreldan]

And I thought my wife was high maintenance.

“8 Ways to Impress Me”

1) Fidelity
2) Babies
3) Let me stay home to raise your babies
4) Love the babies
5) Be sweet to me
6) Protect me
7) Accept my love

[LonePalm]

She's not even worth me cooking dinner for her.

Here, iron my shirt.

The chef is here. Good eats for everyone.

They pretty much boil down to "give me stuff and stay away."

I'd give her some "stuff" and leave. In fact, I'd leave right away. I have no problem with that...

[geezerwheezer]

Stupid bimbos like this one give guys like me gas! Tell her to wish in one hand and spit in the other and see which one gets full first.

[MarineBrat]

That’s pretty bad. She’s obvously used to being rich. It would be an interesting study in human nature to see her suddenly looking for a guy who could provide her with macaroni and cheese.

[Xenalyte]

Why? She’s a twit and deserves opprobrium and mockery.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Why? She’s a twit and deserves opprobrium and mockery.

What's the atomic number of opprobrium?

[papasmurf]

LOL. Thanks for pointing that out.

[steve86]

See what Wall Street and big money (anywhere) does to people?

[Robert A. Cook, PE]

Her eyes are crooked and unsymmetrical.

[Lancey Howard]

How’s that punch line go? “We already established what you are. Now we’re negotiating.”

[ArrogantBustard]

Her skull is about to implode due to the very hard vacuum contained therein.

[steve86]

It would be an interesting study in human nature to see her suddenly looking for a guy who could provide her with macaroni and cheese.

With the way the credit market fiasco is developing she may be happy before long with just the macycheese and skip the guy.

[Robert A. Cook, PE]

Well, yeah, sure.

But you’re a girl.
