Denver's resident love doctor is in... the buff

• I look foward to working with her in the future once she PAYS ME BACK MY MONEY! Mike Barbour, Founder Microight Laser Co.

• It has been my pleasure working with Amy for the last 2 years . She is smart , attractive and has a desire to help others . I look forward to working with her in the future. Go Amy . Mike Barbour , Founder Microlight Laser Co.

• Dirty and low are these comments about Amy! How dare you judge her in such a way! There are always 2 sides of every story and you should be ashamed! Another misrepresentation of Amy and what she is trying to achieve. These last comments of Amy are not relevant and I wouldn't believe one word from such an ugly tone as you have written! Amy offers wonderful inspiration for women all over and we should be applauding her efforts! Great job Amy! Your listeners love and support you!!

• Seeking love advice from Amy is like seeking financial advice from Bernie Madoff. She is the Harold Hill of Denver--hope all of you enjoy those trombones before she moves onto another scheme. Ask anyone in Denver who she has scammed and lied too over the years. But if you want to believe in a woman, who chases around 24 year old athletes at 2:00 in the morning--she's the one for you.

• Stephanie, It's pretty pathetic to go on a public forum and attempt to 'air out' someone's laundry. I hardly think BS is coming out of her mouth because I personally know several people that have benefited and value Amy Rubin and Amy's Heart. Obviously people on here are passionate because they believe the writer of the article was out of line. Now you, are also out of line. We all face challenges dating, that's the whole point of her insight. Didn't you mom ever teach you if you don't have something nice to say, than don't say anything at all?

• Dear Melanie... As someone who knows Amy very well, I am amused by the outpouring of emotion against your article. AMY RUBIN IS A FRAUD!! She recently had to settle with a friend of mine, who she owed over 4000 dollars to for her recent failed business venture--Microlight Laser. As for Microlight laser, they have sent her a letter from their attorney accusing her of embezzeling over 8000 dollars. If you don't believe me, call Microlight's attorney's and maybe, although doubtful, they will tell you themselves. Her personal love life is a train wreck. She ran up a guys credit card for HER FRIENDS on a date. She also went to Vegas and asked a guy to go with her for the sole purpose of him paying her way. I feel bad for all of you that listen to her show and believe the BS that comes out of her mouth. She is a gold digger, and will likely remain single for the rest of her life because of her narcasitic psycotic, and delusional behavior. Do yourself a favor, she might mean well on her show, but she doesn't believe a word that comes out of her mouth because she doesn't practice what she says. She is a con artist, who has conned all of you.

• Dear Anonymous, Cynicism does not look good on you at all. The comments shown above concerning Amy Rubin (a new talk show personality) are written by people who actually know Ms. Rubin for who she truly is and not for the outright fabrications that the article writer put in her attempt at story writing. Trust us, we are not known for making a fuss about anything. Amy is not nor has she ever been an astrologer (although what you have against astrologers, we have no idea). Now, I do have do give you the �feel good� comment. Amy definitely works hard to guide her listeners to a more happy place in their lives (although, I don�t know what you have against people making other�s lives better either). Actually, you come across as a fairly negative individual. Perhaps, you would do better to listen to Amy�s show and just maybe, she could make you feel better about yourself. This might help you to be a little less fussy and work toward helping others rather than question Amy�s friends and wonderful listenership. Oh, as a last insight for your benefit, Amy is not a psychic. Let�s be real, if she was, would she have talked to the writer of the article who miswrote everything she said to her?

• are you people really making all this fuss over an astrologer/psychic feel-good talker? Really?

• Dear Melanie, I have just completed reading your article on Amy Rubin of Amy's Heart. I am confused by your article and would love for you to clarify certain issues. The first issue concerns the "buff" comment. Although Amy's photo is suggestive, she is certainly dressed in this photograph. So why do you say that she is naked? Secondly, is it your opinion that single women are by their very nature, "pathetic" if they are struggling to find themselves and be more attractive and sensual to men? Finally, as a professional journalist, do you feel that your job is to enlighten your readership on those people who may have an answer for them or is it to silence those persons whom you judge to present a different style than your own? Amy Rubin's delivery may differ from one that works for you but is it fair for you to dismiss her message as negative because it does not meet your criteria? If you are a journalist then you have failed to accomplish your job. If you are merely a critic with an axe to grind, then you have every right to your opinion but you have done many single women a disservice by painting Amy Rubin in a negative and ficticious light. I look forwward to reading your comments on Amy Rubin in the future. Perhaps you might wish to get to know her and learn more about her prior to writing a second article. Thank you, Concerned Readership

• Hello Melanie, I would like to leave a comment about the article that you wrote about "Amy's Heart" and Amy Rubin. I have never been so insulted in all my life. I can't believe you would be so hurtful and negative with regards to such a beautiful and kind woman. I am not sure what you were thinking. You might want to take another look at yourself. I think you really made yourself look pathetic. I think you really missed the point all together. Nice! Not impressed, Jill

• I am disappointed that a woman has such a negative attitude towards another woman who is simply trying to help people. Your tone and sarcasm were very apparent in the article and it was fairly obvious you had an agenda. Whatever happened to unbiased and objective journalism? Your article failed to mention that many people (I guess in your opinion, pathetic single girls) have benefitted from Amy�s advice. For your information, men listen to Amy�s show, too. None of us are pathetic. I found your article to be very shortsighted.

• Dear Ms. Asmar, After reading your article, I was struck by the overt hostility inherent in your commentary starting with the claim that Amy was photographed naked. How do you know that? Were you at the shoot? I doubt it. Thus, from the very beginning your article was devoid of facts to support this claim. Then you proceeded to cast dispersion on what you suggest is her lack of the appropriate educational credentials. I was not aware that there were academic requirements for discussing or writing about human relationships. I have always thought that experience was the key requirement. Whatever, hopefully you will not have to experience similar negative claims about your journalistic credentials and skills, notwithstanding what appears to be an exceptional amount of material to work with in that regard. And, finally you suggest that her audience consists primarily of "pathetic" females hunting for men. Again, what is your source for such a suggestion? You offer none other than your opinion. But, you offer it as fact and not opinion. Obviously a very low bar for a claim of journalistic professionalism. Thus, I can only conclude that you were either trying to be sensational or humorous and that you failed miserably at both. Sincerely, Tom

• Dear Melanie, I am so pleased to see that so many people support such a beautiful, smart, kind person on her quest to share her positive outlook and vibrant knowledge with all the great women of the world. I find it very bothersome how you have such a disregard for single women and Amy. I hope that this article and the comments that you made will make you think twice about your harsh words and negative thoughts about life and love.. I find you very cynical and toxic. Very disturbing, Alex

• Attention:Denver Westword/Melanie Asmar I am responding to the article regarding Amy Rubin of Finding Your Hearts Desire. It seems to me that the entire point should of been that Amy Rubin is a possitive, loving and supportive individual. Amy has a special gift that she shares with "us girls". She shares the love that has been given to her and helps woman from her own experience and education. May woman be content knowing there is a woman such as Amy Rubin giving her loving support. Call her a "Love Doctor", "Goddess", "Girlfriend", or "sister". Amy Rubin as a unmistakable good advisor in the area of relationships. I consider myself just one of the girls. Yes, I feel talented and proud of different accomplishments. However, when it comes to "man" issues, sometimes it is just nice to get a fresh perspective from Amy. Let this settle into our bones, and allow our soul the freedom to love, sing and dance. I hope Amy Rubin continues to encourage every one of us to remember that love is available and we deserve it. Let me remind woman that we should be on the same team and start supporting each other from the example that Amy Rubin has given. Sincerely, Carrily H

• Dear Miss Asmar, You're a jourlnalist insofar as you write for a fairly well distributed local publication, albeit free. Because of this I suppose the old maternal maxim of silence unless you have something nice to say is lost, afterall there are papers to sell, or in your case there are ad spaces to sell and papers to give away. Heaven knows if it wasn't for Westword I wouldn't know where to go for a girlfriend experience tranny massage. I have the utmost respect for the freedom of speech and the press, and since I'm not the subject of the article I'm not offended. I will add however that I did not enjoy this article and I'm excersizing my own freedom in telling you so. It seems to me that you had the opportunity to write about a local businesswoman who had let you interview her in the hope of mutual benefit, maybe not the case I don't know but I'm your audience and that's the way it came off. While we have already established that I totally understand you're entitled to write whatever you please about your subjects, this article reeks of betrayal and sarcasm. Why betrayal? Except for the questions you asked an automated website feature you haven't listed a single question that you asked Miss Rubin in person, only responses that you've received. This gives me, the humble reader, the impression that Ms. Rubin was not aware of your attitudes towards her, not given an inkling that a more guarded approach to her answers be taken lest something was rotten in Denmark. So Ms Asmar, I can't fault you for wanting to further your career, there's no doubt you're on your way to being a journalistic heavyweight with the likes of your green elephant penis story in this week's edition. However, when you pick on the kid in the playground who wouldn't hurt a fly and who's only shortcoming was to try and help people, you don't come accross as a heavyweight but as a plain old bully. Yours Faithfully Andrew Redfern

• As a male listener of Amy's Heart on Soul's Journey Radio, I do find this article not accurate, poorly written, and definitely does not show Amy in a good light. Perhaps you should've met with Amy in person and gotten to know her a bit before writing this article. The great thing is that Amy Rubin has loyal followers and fans who would all discredit this article; she is an inspirational, genuine, and caring woman who loves helping others. If she was in a perfect, committed relationship, how would she give advice on the trials and tribulations of love? Amy, can't wait to hear your show this coming week. I hope you discuss these "pathetic" single girls!

• Ms. Asmar, I am dismayed by your article on Ms. Rubin. As a business professional, I know Ms. Rubin, her savy, energy and acumen. She is none of the adjectives that you chose to misrepresent in your article. Further to the point, you fail to understand the mission on which Ms. Rubin is involved. She is perhaps the best person to speak with single women who find themselves lacking self worth and a partner as she has overcome these challenges and can best understand from where these women are coming. Her decision to choose the photo that the magazine is using is spot on as she demonstrates that a woman can be sensuous and passionate about their lives and partners. Sadly, you blatantly fabricated the fact that she is "naked" on the cover. She is wearing clothing and your decision to state otherwise was nothing more than a vehicle to energize your ficticious article. As I am new to Colorado and have never heard of you nor read your column, I now see that you are not a viable source of information. Ms. Rubin offers single women a much needed resource for support and I hope that you will take the time to retract your statements and afford Ms. Rubin a fair chance to help others. Sincerely, M. Hurwitz (Arvada, CO)

• Hey Melanie: From the tone of your article, it sounds like you really need the Love Doctor. Sarcastic, hostile and nasty isn't gonna turn on your cute co-worker, and FYI Amy isn't nude and she's actually VERY "psychic". And, her show is wonderful and helps lots of people. Really Melanie, you should give Amy a call and see if you can make an appointment!

• I read this article and as a Business women I felt that Amy's article was written with alot of heart and soul. I am offended by your article and I think it is sad that you are degrading a person who is trying to spreading a positive message. I think the world needs as many positive messages especially right now in a time of hope. I enjoyed her article and maybe you should take another look at yourself in the mirror.

• Wow Melanie, Way to really insult all the single women in the world! This a beautiful women who really placed herslf out in the spotlight with her inspirational words and you tossed her under the bus. It sounds like you are the jaded one. I am so dissapointed in your article. Shame on you for beating her up! I think she is magnificent! Her show is really great too!

• I think the message of 'love yourself' is profound and something that most women need reminding of. Listening to Amy's show has personally challenged me to love myself first which is something I have neglected for many years. Thank you Amy for your positivity and your beauty both inside and OUT.

• I am offended by your article concerning Amy Rubin. Amy is a kind, generous soul that is doing something that helps encourage and uplift her audience...(which is more than I can say for you.) Another inaccurate, rude article by the westword.

• Dear Melanie Asmar, If I'm reading your tone in this article correctly (which is hard NOT to do), you've just insulted all single women. Not only have you not portrayed Amy's Heart, Soul's Journey Radio and FindingYourHeartsDesire.com accurately, you've also minimized the amount of inspiration and support that has been given to women all over the world thanks to Rubin. From what I hear, you did an interview with Rubin and have completely either misinterpreted or taken things out of context. I have listened to many of her shows and would have to agree. What a shame. It is hard enough to put yourself out there as an entrepreneur but publicly opening you heart, opinions and experience is a whole new level of being fearless. Melanie - for future articles, do your readers a favor. Be factual and precise. Apparently when you throw your opinions into things it skews the accuracy. Let's try to build each other up rather than knock each other down. Good Luck.
