Creepiest Craigslist hookup ads
Yes, these ads revel in glorious creepiness. There’s just something about the joining of social ineptness and classified ads that causes an author to be amazingly oblivious to what people might think.
I love how they rated various aspects of these ads, then came up with a probability that the poster was going to get laid.
But getting back to how people see things…
There’s a guy who calls me when he’s had a couple of bottles of bubbly, once or twice a year. We talk at length, of course mostly about him. That’s a good thing, because the last call lasted 7 hours, and at the end of it I was totally fried. There is no way I could ever talk that long about myself. Bleh.
But anyway, he has this story he tells of how he posted an ad on Craigslist looking for… Y’know, I’m not sure now what he thought he was looking for, but my feeling is that it was an eligible female, even though he considers himself to be of the ts-loving gender persuasion.
Of course, he’s not GAY. He placed an ad on Craisglist with a photo of his car and another of his naked body from the waist down. But no, he’s not GAY.
