Adventures in Craigslist

Yesterday I made the mistake of posting an ad on Craigslist. I decided to take a more self-confident approach than usual, basically advertising myself as a good catch (which I am!). I’ve already received three e-mails telling me that I’m self-righteous/not that special, and I’ve received 1 penis pic.

The penis pic e-mail said “I might be to[sic] tall for you but thought I would give it a try. Here is my pic. I hope you send me one of you if you are interested. 29 6′ 5″ 220 11c very romantic.” And then there’s a huge photo of the guy sprawled out naked on his bed playing with his wee wee.

I decided to mess with him and wrote back: “Since you’ve sent me this I take it you’re giving me permission to post it on my blog. It’s a blog showcasing perverts on Craigslist.”

He responded: “I am certainly not a pervert. Just answering your ad looking to meet guys. And what is a “blog”? What a strange response form you.“

What is a blog??? haaa. I love it.

Then another e-mail from him a few minutes later: “You do not have my permission to use my pic in any way. It was for your eyes only. I thought you would like to see who you are talking with and i was hoping to get yours in return. You sounded nice in your ad, but your response is just weird. Glad I found that out before we met. I am looking for a long term relationship. I guess you aren’t. Good luck to you.“

Glad I saw your penis before we met too, moron! Jeez.

Sigh. Other than that I’m getting a lot of responses from divorced men with children. I’ve never gone down that route before. Not sure about it.

I also got a response from someone with the exact same name as a guy I went to grade school, Sunday school, and high school with. In fact, I was certain it was the same guy because he didn’t include a pic at first but mentioned his hair color and height, which are similar to the guy I went to school with. But alas, it was not him. I was actually a little disappointed because I saw that guy a few months ago and he was hot. Darn.
