BREAKING NEWS: Gawker/Dealbreaker Uncover Huge Ivy League Douchebag

BREAKING NEWS: Gawker/Dealbreaker Uncover Huge Ivy League Douchebag

Gawker and Dealbreaker are writing about the sad saga of John Fitzgerald Page, Wharton ’88 and Ivy League douchebag extraordinaire. This is usually our territory, so we feel a bit jealous/remiss in bringing you sloppy seconds.

As it were, these are excellent sloppy seconds. Here is an excerpt from an email Page sent to a potential Match.com date:

So next time you meet a guy of my caliber, instead of trying to turn it around, just get to the gym! I will even give you one free training session, so you don’t blow it with the next 8.9 on Hot or Not, Ivy League grad, Mensa member, can bench/squat/leg press over 1200 lbs., has had lunch with the secretary of defense, has an MBA from the top school in the country, lives in a Buckhead high rise, drives a Beemer convertible, has been in 14 major motion pictures, was in Jezebel’s Best dressed, etc. Oh, that is right, there aren’t any more of those!” 

The 36-year-old Wharton graduate currently lives in Atlanta, where, if his website is to be believed, he banks/models/personal trains/acts/beats Vayner’s records for personal development etc.

Our favorite part is the Napoleon Dynamite-like “Skills” section, in which Page describes some other things he’s incredible at:

Soccer (State Championship Game), Bowling & Archery (State Championship Match), Baseball, Skiing, Swimming, Weightlifting (Bench & Leg Press/Squat over 1200 lbs. combined), Golf (Hole in One), Volleyball, Football, Billiards, Softball

DIALECTS & ACCENTS: English, Southern, New Yorker, Aristocrat, British, Irish, Australian, French, Indian.”

Our only consolation in getting scooped by Gawker on our own beat is knowing that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of Ivy League douchebags we have yet to reveal!

    I’ve never heard people name their ability to speak in accents as a salient characteristic of their personality. No legacy for this guy!

    The official language of India is “Hindi,” fellow d10. Sorry. Does sound a lot like “Indian,” though, and it is common practice in English for the demonymic adjective to also be the noun for a country’s language (eg, “English”), so the mistake is understandable.

  • Dr Mish, Princeton ’84

    As others have noted, Indian is not a language, but Hindi, Bengali, Urdu, etc. are.

    This is what happens when people attempt to extend their activities into areas where they are clearly lacking in talent. He can’t act worth a damn, not even act like an Ivy Leaguer.

    -Half Indian, non-Hindi-speaking, American English fluent, B-School prof. Hoping to extend my own talents someday into film directing!

  • i make coitus

    Not to mention how remarkable it is that he can do an “aristocrat” accent . . . I assume he’s referring to ancient Greek aristocrats, Muslim Sayyids, Middle Ages European nobility, and hundreds of other aristocrats all wrapped into one accent.
