There's something a bit unsettling about Snowden's girlfriend...

[jmowreader]

This is a picture of Lindsay Mills, Edward Snowden's girlfriend:
?6

Now, this is a picture of Edward Snowden:


This just may be old MI suspicion rearing its ugly head, but really pretty girls like Ms. Mills tend to not date ugly guys like Mr. Snowden no matter how much money they have. Especially since this particular ugly guy doesn't seem to be able to keep a job. Those girls tend to prefer really cute guys who'll make their girlfriends jealous.

As a doubled agent, he could have been assigned her for a number of reasons.

What I'm saying is, Snowden looks like a spy to me. This is a HELL of a lot deeper than you think it is.

[Floyd_Gondolli]

1. I'm no fan of the guy

But I'm not sure he could be considered ugly. Ugly is pretty subjective anyway.

[Little Star]

2. I personally think he's kinda handsome. n/t

[arthritisR_US]

53. Ya, I thought so too. n/t

[Honeycombe8]

111. Me, too. And she's just a pole dancer, isn't she? nt

[Little Star]

115. Googleing says she was once a ballerina....

But DU says that's a lie. So who knows

[Honeycombe8]

143. I don't mean to denigrate pole dancing. What I meant was that she's no supermodel.

The OP sounded like she's some supermodel beauty and he is "the beast." She's just a workin' gal with, I guess, a good bod, and he's pretty cute, I think (haven't seen his bod, but he looks tall and slim w/o being skinny, so....sounds good).

[Mojorabbit]

136. So do I. nt

[ohheckyeah]

3. I don't think he's ugly at all.

Even if he were, I know a lot of women who date men less attractive than they are.

[Skittles]

4. ? I don't think Mr. Snowden is ugly

whatever else he is, he is NOT ugly

[Butterbean]

5. I don't think he's ugly.

JMHO, but give him a shave (I prefer clean shaven men), and he's actually kinda my type. Glasses, that sort of intellectual geeky look. *shrug* It's what I'm attracted to, and a lot of women (attractive ones) are attracted to that sort as well. My husband is that type, minus the glasses.

[Nay]

6. Huh. I don't consider Snowden to be ugly. And I don't think the girlfriend is especially

pretty. (Speaking as a female here.)

[pacalo]

120. Same here. I think he's better looking than she is.

[Schema Thing]

7. He's not ugly, and to a lot of people, she's wouldn't be considered "really pretty".

Although I find her attractive* in that picture.

[BeyondGeography]

8. Oh for the love of Don Logan

&feature=youtube_gdata_player

[zappaman]

30. God, I love that movie!

Everything about it.
And who knew Ben Kingsley could be so frightening?

[BeyondGeography]

37. Someone on the cast, forget who, said Kingsley was the last cast member to arrive

at the filming location because he was working on another project. So they threw a party for him and he spent the whole night in-character as Don Logan.

It's a film that survives multiple viewings, for sure.

[Tom Ripley]

59. It also gets a lot of love from me.

[JI7]

9. that is a lot of sexism there

and i think they are pretty equal as far as looks go

[LondonReign2]

10. HO.LY.FUCK

Did you forget the sarcasm tag? Or is this really how low you've sunk?

[Sanity Claws]

11. He is not ugly.

He is far more attractive than many men I know. He also seems to dress okay and is well groomed. Nothing wrong with this guy's appearance.

[HooptieWagon]

12. What does she have to do with anything?

[KG]

13. maybe she's a size queen and he's hung like a donkey. spies usually are.

and she has a bunch of boxes in her garage...

And once she went to Olive Garden and didn't bat an eyelash when she was seated next to a pitbull nursing a baby and smoking at the same time.

[Whisp]

15. Snowden is not ugly, don't be silly. n/t

[Th1onein]

16. Edward Snowden is HAWT!

Major HAWT. Make no mistake about it. What puts the "major" in that "HAWT" is his idealism and bravery.

[marions ghost]

44. Yep

--brains and courage. I would add big picture thinking (ie. wisdom).
So much more attractive than anything else. Totally agree.

[pacalo]

121. He comes off as sincere, too.

[Comrade Grumpy]

17. Oh, for fuck's sake! Please stop this prosense, er, I mean nonsense.

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

So why is it okay to post all manner of vicious comments about ProSense on this board like it's normal or something? Anyone else would be crying foul. This little clique gets away with the nastiest behavior I've ever seen, and then proceed to high five each other like they just scored a three point shot at the junior high championship game.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Jun 17, 2013, 05:44 PM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Nothing wrong with this at all. The alerter should be sanctioned for wasting our time.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: Agree with the alerter.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: If Prosense is entitled to his whacked opinion so are the rest of us.

[bluesbassman]

50. Yep. Wonder who's going to "leak" that info...

[Aerows]

54. Just wait

There's more to come.

He's probably got a weird fetish they will dredge up first, of course. He's probably into latex, chocolate syrup and the smell of burning tires.

[LondonReign2]

103. I thought you said weird stuff?

[GeorgeGist]

20. She looks kinda derpy to me

not that appearances are relevant to spying.

[Aerows]

40. I wouldn't kick her out of my bed

but I wouldn't go out of my way to get her into it, either.

[Whisp]

21. fail.

[demmiblue]

22. You are in the running for the "This Takes the Cake" award. n/t

[Lint Head]

24. I'm not in tune with the "ugly" part but I do wonder if this is a set up. Who revealed her as the

girlfriend in the first place? Was she just seeking attention or did someone clue in a media source that she was his girlfriend. She just all of a sudden appeared when the story broke. Men and women can have quite a few girl friends. If she was not his wife or he her fiance', how imported is she to the story other than they knew each other? Something is not right with the premise or this whole thing. It has nothing to do with whether he is a hero patriot or a treasonous traitor. Thought that does matter. Things in life are never as 'cut and dried' as they seem.

[okaawhatever]

58. They were living together so her name and info would have come up pretty quickly. Also, she had

quite a few online posts in her blog so it was an early source of info about their relationship and what Snowden was up to. We also have the mystery factor. Did he just up and dump her? Did she know? We forget, something like his up and leaving her would strike a chord with a lot of people. Almost anyone will have an opinion about that.

[pacalo]

122. She became important to the story when it was learned that she was into pole dancing.

[cali]

26. lol. stupid on parade.

I don't even know how to respond to this but I will say that not only do photos often not capture sex appeal but I've known quite a few beautiful women who fell for "ugly" guys.

Oh never mind, I'm ashamed of myself for even responding to this idiotic op.

[Puglover]

78. Me too. I am holding out hope this was meant to be funny.

God teh stupid is thick on DU these days.

[zappaman]

28. You win!

Silliest post of the week...possibly year.
Congrats!

Then well played

[totodeinhere]

31. NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden becomes overnight sex symbol as the internet brands him 'geek hot.'

"He can blow my whistle" was trending on Twitter. So apparently a lot of people don't agree with you that he is ugly.

[warrprayer]

32. China is calling him "Handsome Snowden"

He was a male model at one point, apparently

<snip>

NSA leaker Edward Snowden has reached hero status for many Chinese internet users. His Chinese fans on Sina Weibo, China’s version of Twitter, have posted Snowden’s old modelling photos and “Snowden Handsome” is the first result to come back when his last name is entered as a search term.

33. Sure, he's no Warren DeMontague.

But, then, who is.

[Luminous Animal]

114. I like your earrings.

[Warren DeMontague]

123. Of course you do.

I had them surgically enhanced.

[BainsBane]

124. I prefer my earrings natural.

but to each his own.

[Warren DeMontague]

127. Why make the earrings larger

when you can just make the head smaller.

[BainsBane]

128. That's quite a fetching look

This one really knows how to accessorize with style.

[Warren DeMontague]

131. That's why I'd never make it as a Karen

Might be able to make it as a "Bob", tho.

[Monkie]

34. if you had kept up with the digging into his life, and her fathers comments

his friends from the "internet scene" he was in said he was interesting and good to talk too.
and just because you think she is pretty does not mean she thinks she is pretty?

if you had kept up you would of noticed her father has spoken about him and their relationship too.
and sent his love to edward, but i guess he is a agent too?

Her father, Jonathan Mills, told reporters on Tuesday evening outside his home in Laurel, Maryland, that his daughter was doing "as well as could be expected, and that's all I have to say". He described 29-year-old Snowden as "very nice. Shy, and reserved".

"He's always had strong convictions of right and wrong, and it kind of makes sense. But still shocked," Mills said, describing his reaction to the news about Snowden. Asked if he had a message for Snowden, Mills said: "Just wish him good luck and he's got my love."

35. Want to know why the "10 things about Snowden" crowd is a laughing stock?

It's bullshit OP's like this.

You've done more for the credibility of those who support Snowden with this thread than a week's worth of hit-pieces.

Bravo.

p.s. Thank you!

[LondonReign2]

105. +1

Those who yammer about her being a "pole dancer", about his degree of friendliness as a neighbor, and about his degree of attractiveness then turn around and want us to take seriously their criticsims of his actions.

[Hekate]

36. There's something a bit unsettling about your assessment based on looks

She is not spectacularly pretty, just young and good-looking.
He is not ugly, and in fact I find him handsome.

Now, when the genuinely homely Henry Kissinger married Nancy Maginnes in 1974, there was a lot of talk about how did a homely guy like that catch such a beautiful woman. They must have a lot of interests in common, because they are still married after almost 40 years.

Prior to that he went through a spate of dating Hollywood actresses like Jill St. John, which provided a real contrast. The snarky observation at the time was, "Power is an aphrodisiac."

[MichiganVote]

39. Time to put your shoe phone down now Mr. Smart.

[Catherina]

41. How weird are the attempts to discredit him going to get?

Double fail because he's a very handsome, and well-built man. This is really unbelievable. I'd erase the OP if I were you. Especially that part that mentions your past MI affiliation because that analysis is downright embarrassing.

[KoKo]

49. I thought it was Clever "OTT" Satire of the Anti-Snowden Posts....but, maybe not...

Given some of the ridiculous posts about Snowden around here.. Maybe someone has sunk this low...but it's so OTT...

[Union Scribe]

76. If it's satire, it's brilliant.

Because it sounds so plausible as a real post at this point.

[penultimate]

134. Previous posts by the OP with regards to Snowden suggest it's not satire or mocking.

I

[Android3.14]

42. I get it now, thank you for this insightful posting

This explains why it is okay for the government to spy on innocent citizens.
Plus, I just have to say that I am in awe of your skills.
Totally.
Fricken.
Amazed.
"Looks like a spy"?
You should join the CIA. Just think, you could single-handedly pick out all the spies just by looking at pictures of their girlfriends.
Is it some kind of superpower?

[markiv]

56. 'he could have been assigned her for a number of reasons'

but by your 'logic', that would have compromised his cover?, after all, if such an untrained, but highly sohisticated person like yourself can spot it, couldnt trained NSA agents have spotted it also?

He was working on muscle tone, lifting weights and reducing body fat ... and his girlfriend certainly is fit.

They seem both to be into reduced body fat.., BMI, and good for them.

Sub-literate, half-educated, absurd posts that do nothing other than make implicates based on one's own history of being rejected by attractive women are unsettling too.


Not that I'm referring to your post, of course-- as yours seems is certainly not what any school child would consider half-educated.

Were you going for a joke? I hope so.

[Puzzledtraveller]

86. When I saw her I couldn't believe how much she looked

like a former girlfriend. She was a cheerleader and even though she was in her mid twenties she still had a body of a gymnast. But they are also very similar in facial appearance, eyes, hair. She was a gamer and very big into Twilight and fantasy in general. She was a server at a Buffalo Wild Wings and she was in nursing school.

[Vanje]

This pretty much exposes the whole Snowden motivation.

...because this is some funny!

[Quantess]

92. Is this a joke? Sarcasm?

Besides, those two are well matched in looks, in my opinion.

[KoKo]

96. It's SO OTT...I think it's a very Clever Stealth Move...

If it isn't the OP should have a couple of Jury Trials...IMHO.. but, I'm not Alerting...because I still think it might be SATIRE of High Order...

Just Saying.

[gollygee]

93. I don't think he's ugly at all.

Weird speculation.

100. What the fuck is this bullshit post all about?

So much misanthropy. Is this DU? WTF, dude?

[marions ghost]

102. SATIRE

mocking all the recent emphasis on Snowden's girlfriend as tho that really tells us jack about him.
With an evil dash of sexism.

Do NOT take this seriously.

[penultimate]

132. I was thinking that at first too, but a quick search of DU and the OPs username

shows that he most likely isn't posting a satirical post.

[marions ghost]

138. Seems to be on the right side of this issue

as far as I can see. Anyway, how can you take it as anything but satire? Unless the OP thought the sexism element was going to enflame. But the whole thing is so ridiculous that it still demonstrates how shallow the info about a person like Snowden is. I just take it at face value and find it laughable in its clever ambiguity. You can take it either way. Even if it's intent is questionable, it's funny in a South Park sort of baaaad mess up your head kind of way. I get where you're coming from, but the post is within the bounds of what's allowed here, so try to laugh.

Thanks for the input.

125. BS

Firstly, Snowden isn't ugly. Secondly, look at the women considered the most beautiful in the world, like runway models, etc. . . How many of them date really good looking guys? Not many.

[alittlelark]

126. Snowden is not unattractive.

Freaky OP

[LoveIsNow]

129. I reject your premise.

Seriously, the first thing I thought when I saw his picture was that he's pretty cute. Certainly nowhere near ugly.

That woman, on the other hand, has man-deltoids and no bosom.

[napoleon_in_rags]

130. A six figure salary in a recession adds a lot to his face...

Even more money adds more. Remember Ana Nichole Smith's millionaire husband?

[penultimate]

133. I'm ugly and I've dated very attractive women.. I don't make six figures either...

Then again, I also work for the CIA, NSA, MI8, FSB and Mossad. At least that is what my business cards say.

But for reals, is Snowden really considered ugly? He looks like a normal looking guy to me, and his girlfriend looks to be about the same too. Also, not all women (or people in general) only go for looks. Believe it or not, but personality goes a long way too. I suspect your feelings might stem from your own personal issues and takes on how women and relationships work.

it's so weird that people are actually posting these unsarcastically. lolol.

[JoDog]

141. Snowden looks like the kind of guy I usually am attracted to

Speaking generally, most guys will not voluntarily go for a "geek chic" look. If they look a little geeky, that means they are a little geeky, which is just fine by me, who sees "Game of Thrones" and the personnel dynamics of the USS Enterprise as a perfectly acceptable topics for pillow talk.

As for Ms. Mills, no one outside of a relationship can ever know what the dynamics of the attraction are. Perhaps after years of dealing with jerks, Snowden treated her well and did not put her down for being a trained dancer who turned to a youtube channel to pay her bills. That means a lot to women.

[adric mutelovic]

142. What a bad thread

You think Snowden is ugly because you don't like him...and assume readers of your thread will think he's ugly....and assume people believe that pretty girls never date ugly men...and assume this flat-chested girl is pretty....and assume that when a pretty girl is with a man who you think is ugly, it's because she's a spy. Weird.

It's just bad logic that Socrates would be unproud of.

If I could unrec, I would.
