Yesterday we mentioned newly divorced single mom Cheryl Mercuris, of the Tampa Bay Mercurises, was looking for a new husband. To that end, she’d invested her (own) money (she’s a “direct marketing entrepreneur”) in a $250,000/week rental in Bridgehampton. At the time, any of you scoffed at this flagrant waste of money but Cheryl, a “a self-made millionaire” knew you gotta spend money to make money. And following yesterday’s personal ad in the Post announcing her presence out East, Single and Ready To Mingle reports the plan is paying off in spades.

“It was worth every penny,” S&M said. “I’ve never had more fun, and I’ve never met as many exciting people and such friendly people — not to mention the publicity.” She has apparently been “inundated” with phone calls and emails from “guys looking to cozy up to her,” including but not limited to:

* A guy who may work in a boiler room: “Cheryl I saw your article in the post I’m a young guy working in the brokerage business right here in Long Island,” wrote one of her many gentleman e-mailers. “I would like to show you around.”

* And a 29-year-old investment banker who is also a former college basketball player. “I was reading the Post today and saw your picture in an article and thought that you are very beautiful,” he e-mailed. “Next time when you are in Manhattan I would like to take you to dinner or just drinks. I know my age might scare you but I am a very mature, hard working businessman. I am tall (6′ 7) so not sure if that scares you,” he wrote. “Let me know if you would like to meet for drinks or coffee one day.”

    Nicely done @7.
    I know there’s this guy that can bench around 250. And he’s pretty used to going out with chicks and not getting with them. Maybe he can almost bang her too.

    No.

    At the center of the “but her face” (or more colloquially “butterface” or “buttaface”, as you opted to use) paradigm is the idea that the referenced individual is attractive in all respected “but her face”.

    Your use of this phrase in reference to Cheryl Mercuris, (of the Tampa Bay Mercurises) seems indicate a failure on your part to comprehend the subtle nuances inherent to this phrase and proper its usage, or a tragic frame of reference to which you are apply it (or perhaps a third option: have the vision and judgment of a hammered David Paterson). In any event, the best course of action is for you to check yourself, lest your wreck yourself

    There’s an important phrase that we use here, and think it’s time that you all learned it. Act as if. You understand what that means? Act as if a gold digger 25 years your senior would be actually interested in a guy with gel in his hair and a leased 2006 3-Series. Act as if putting two references to “scaring you” in a four sentence email doesn’t scream creepster. Okay? Act as if.

    She is the CEO of Quality Resources which she received in her divorce settlement many years ago (not recently like the original article states). The telemarketing firm her ex had was raided by the feds and shut down and she came pretty close to the same fate (do a little internet searching on her and the company & you will find all kinds of, not to flattering info on her. Unfortunately, they’re business practices are not what I would consider very ethical and the employees are treated very poorly. For example she will be laying off approx 75 people at the end of the month, just to replace them with individuals that will work for less. So while she is spending 500k trying to find someone who likes her up north, b/c everyone down here knows of and about her. Her employees are getting the shaft.
