Adventures on Craigslist

Technically you must be 18 to follow those links. Just saying.

So I was looking at hyperbole and a half and looking into advertising (i hit 200 page views about an hour ago! But I'd probably only really consider ads if my readership expanded past facebook friends) and then I was thinking about online dating for some reason...? Probably because of this thing in English and advertising... Long story. So I got to thinking about craigslist, and I decided to see how weird it got. It got pretty weird. Here are some of the most interesting ones:

"I used to be jailbait and now that I'm old enough, I'm seeking someone who wants to pretend I am."

I think she meant pothole, but maybe her child is going to be born mentally handicapped. Her life became a horror novel when she found out the torture dungeon was not for sexual purposes. Anyway that's an awful environment to raise a child in.

"I want to teach children that this is not how you write nor how you find men who aren't going to  murder you in an alley. Sometimes I repeat myself repeatedly. Sometimes I repeat myself repeatedly."

"Do dating exist?" is really the most important question of these crazy times. I'm holding back the, "this expansive picture depicts my nethers" but it appears I've gone and done it.

If you're looking for honesty and a sense of humor (though she sounds pretty serious), she's got it.

She's 33 and has poor grammar. She's also probably the best catch on this website, which isn't saying anything. Except that everyone else is weird(er). I'm currently having my people build a robot that talks about personality as well as age and height. He's going to get all of the tail.

"Edit: My preppy, handsome, professional dog is looking for a preppy, handsome, professional man." Who actually calls themselves preppy?!

So yeah, that was probably the most ridiculous procrastinating I've ever done since I have a lot of homework, but that's what tomorrow is for, right?!
