i made a personal ad on craigslist

[rachmiel]

no one replied

my understanding is that the men-seeking-women ads have like a 0.5% return rate.

you have to do the (stupid) thing our society has set up at bars/parties/whatever--guy approach the girl, not vice versa. so check out the w4m ads and realise that the hottest ones will prob be getting about 1200 replies.

i'm completely in favor of women pursuing men, particularly me.

 

[xfer]

agreed but 90% of women just won't! or, do every now and then, just enough to think "i approach men!" when they, broadly speaking, don't.

 

[FalseTodd]

broadly speaking!

 

[rachmiel]

women come at me plenty but im trying to find a vegan one

 

[xfer]

indeed, aysha approached me when i met her! and i don't think i've ever approached a woman actually.

 

[FalseTodd]

yeah i never do either or i wait until they have made their interest blatantly obvious to all except dumbass here

after they have made their interest blatantly obvious i still generally wait.

i use that waiting period to don a tophat and other festive attire.

i respond to craigslist personals in the strictly platonic section. i met one guy for drinks. he was really nice, and someone i would be strictly platonic with. i should probably send him an email to tell him i dont hate him i'm just really busy. right now i am emailing with two guys from my neighborhood, who i assume are planning to take it to 'the next level' (you know, 'in person') with me. they are both clever and interesting in their emails and one of them is CUTE. today i was contemplating posting one of my own looking for other socially retarded depressed jerks to be friends with.

sometimes it's good to be married. the dating world is scary.

 

[minxnim]

i gave up trying to find anyone vegan. or anyone MACROBIOTIC VEGAN for that matter. what a nightmare that was.

 

[minxnim]

p.s. craigslist scares me.

 

[azal]

I wish avi was my husband.

 

[avi]

we can dream

 

[NAD]

i'm not a big fan of the dating world. which is why i'm currently trying to get back with a girl i was with a few years ago. actually, she approached me back then and approached me this time as well, so perhaps that is why! assertive women, step forth to the lazy dude!

 

[rachmiel]

someone responded!! she's 24 and lives in somerville.

 

[xfer]

post her myspace page!
