Craigslist Chronicles: The Good, The Bad & The Crazy


Maybe it's  because Ive just joined ok cupid (which I fully plan on doing some blogs about later, stay tuned) but I've been very curious about the pursuit of love online. There are soooo many reputable  sites available for us now days to reach out and meet "the one"...

So today, the evil genius in me thought it would be funny to search through Craigslist ads because I knew I'd be bound to find some straight up ridiculousness...which I did...and here lies The Good, The Bad, and the Crazy from the Craigslist's personals pages (Women Seeking Men)


The Good
50 First Dates

(in case the text is too small, it reads: Greetings, Men of Craigslist. IM a BBw single mom who just turned 39 and is more than a little annoyed to see 40 looming in my future. My childs as reached teenagehood and a measure of independence, and i've decided to celebrate the last year of my 30's by making it a goal to have 50 first dates before i turnd 40. Wanna help?
 
For the visually inclined, Im 5'6, 210 lbs (size 16-18, xl), with medium length blognde hair and fairly good breasts. I like movies (sci-fi and action mostly), blues bars, white wine , shows, great conversation and lots of laughter. Becasue Im trying to expand my horizons, Im totally open to trying new things. You can plan YOUR ideal first date, and I'll probalby be games. Im fairly intelligent, open-minded and fun if you like sarcastic humor.
 
If you'd like to help me "go out" of my thirties witha bang, and if you love first dates, email me and tell me what kind of first dat you'd like to take me on. It doesnt have to be fancy, just looking for fun ! Extra points if you dont suggest dinner and a movie)


I like that this poster was original and specific. She's made it clear that she's not looking for anything serious, but just a bunch of fun dates with different guys. LOL at her calling her own self fairly and intelligent and having fairly good breast. wtf?

The Bad

(in case the text is too small, it reads: It has been too long since I have been with guy. Maybe we could ge together for a drink sometime soon. Maybe it will lead somewhere, maybe not.)
 


This poster is unclear of what she wants, and also desperate for human interaction but she's just so damn nonchalant about it. I love the 'maybe it will lead somewhere, maybe not' part...Im guessing it wont.
 
 
The Cray-Cray
 
Brother Husband?

(in case the text is too small, it reads:  Looking for a brother husband. A man willing to be in a real relationship with me I am married. And not looking to change that! At some point I would want the person to live with me and my husband! There will be no sex between either men only pleasuring me seperate or together. IM not looking for someone who only wants a one night stand so Please if your only looking for a hook up keep scroling! Also if you want to have your onw children Im not for you either. I already have my own and can not have no more! If this sounds like something u would like send a pic and informations about yourself and we shall see where it goes.)
 
 

This poster was just plain ole creepy...I wonder how many non pyschopath killer men are responding to this one. I guess it's not for me to judge...I'll just mind my own business on this one.....but if someone turns up missing...
 

 
 
 

I'd be lying if I told you browsing through the Craigslist ads wasnt really entertaining for me, but oddly I felt sadness for some of these posters. I want to respond and tell them CL might not be the best online spot for love, but hey, what the hell do I know.
 
I think I'll keep these #craigslistchronicles up...and y'all feel free to send me some when you see a funny one

In conclusion, Rihanna described Craigslist dating best with "We found love in a hopeless place" lol
