Self-construction instead of mass-production.

Oh Craigslist

I love craigslist. I am on it everyday looking for clients/jobs. Sometimes a person will post something super ridiculous. This happened today; and I laughed really hard. Here's the ad that was posted in the "creative gigs" section:

title: need to hire date-female (Denver)

This is immature, but I need to hire a pretty girl to make my roommate/want her to be my girlfriend, jealous. You could come over and watch a movie or something while she was here. Maybe hold hands, something alolng those lines. Nothing sexual by any means. I am a nice, decent looking guy. But, she's driving me nuts and I'm desperate. I could pay you $150 for a few hours of your time. Not to be shallow, but please include a picture. Thanks.


and then someone posted a reply post:


title: re-need to hire a date-female (Denver)

Instead of staring things off by playing games, why not just put it out there? Sit down and say, "I really want this to be more than just roommates" and see where it goes.


How ridiculous is that??? And why is someone giving advice via post? Why wouldn't they just reply to the email address to send along advice. Oh people. Thank you for entertaining me.
