Hahahaha, some of these are so funny!!!

I stopped using CL for backpage.com quite a while ago….

“The things I’ve seen in war caused me to become slightly introverted, and a little more shy than I was before. It’s been harder for me to meet a nice girl since.”

That makes me sad…if I didn’t have a boyfriend I’d take him out.

Oh by the way, I met my boyfriend online! So miracles can happen!

these also gave me a wee chuckle…

“The dental hygienist told me today that I have great teeth. She was surprised to learn that I have never worn braces.

I’d like to build a relationship based on trust, understanding, good sex, and great teeth.

Please send a picture of your own great teeth in your reply. ”

Behive hairdo!!!!? Clearly she was not being literal! And worse still, hopefully not figurative! Imagine, a rich guy (that does not own a car) and has fake russian accent! Or worse, a British accent said to be French! YIK-IES!!

Cocktail shaker? Has this become the almighty symbol of the nightman? I know of no such male! One who can fluff about under a sexual guise of eccentricity while also be the very adequate monsieur of a far-away abode. He who is this and still the very sophisicated that has worked his way up the rungs of mixing and making all that dines!

At the end, though… I guess there are worse names than dreamer…

Wow! This says so much about that person! Does it not? I find that with the possibly foolish trait of gumption, that it says a lot!
Once, in an agency with which I used to work, I was speaking to a girl from Switzerland, and she was saying that she had a friend who flatly refused to speak or at all associate with people who were not clearly wealthy. Funnily, such adds as this remind me of that moment… that kind of realization that although we are all human, we can all be very different. wow!

wow, yeah… some of those comments are fun to read. I feel sorry for those people. Man, that guy who said … just be sane and conversationalist, can you imagine his life? so sad!

I wont make fun of them, but sometimes they seem funny as things to advertise..

I just wanted to let you know MSM that I copied this post(not the comments) to show someone a good example of a blog on the internet. I was trying to explain to her that if she does not tell us that her conversation was actually from an article, that we will not know. She proceeded to share with me that the long-standing custom on the internet is to entitle your recorded conversation or article in any way you like, and that the link to the actual place, like craigslist or L.A. Times does not actually need to be seen in the link, nor does the link need to be specified as a link.

I was so confused!
Good job on the format, and funny sutff!

OMG. I’m seriously laughing out loud at all of your great comments everyone… this is hysterical. I know, can you believe these are real?

I guess my community has a ton of weirdos. Live in a big city, so that’s probably why.

Okay, I just went to my area’s site, and it’s full of nothing but PREVERTS. Seriously. I guess, at least they’re honest.

Yech.

I know someone who does stuff like that! He usually scours match.com with similar lines except he’s a bit more open about what he wants: he pretty much tells people he wants a one-night stand and gets it. YUK! I can’t imagine actually thinking that type of behavior is acceptable let alone participates in it.

“Rich, divorce WM with 2 children but you’ll never meet them because I just want meaningless sex for the night… nothing more.”
