My name is Gigi. I’m mostly a writer and strategist, but I also do websites, drink fine wines and buy polka dotted things with some frequency. Obviously, I also blog. Read More.

Hello Ladies,
I’m 25, single, with a BS in Outdoor Recreation, and own a vehicle. I’ve lived in Denver for one year (moved from Michigan) and looking for someone to share experience with. I live for climbing (tree, ice, and rock), and skiing. I’ve got a very dry sense of humor. Hiking, snowshoeing, backpacking and camping are what I enjoy on my weekends.
I must apologize I don’t have any single friends under 30. I’ve got a close few friends all in which are other over 30 and single or under 30 and in long lasting relationships… thus I’m the young-an of the group or the 3/5th wheel.
I think both of you are very beautiful from your photos and both of your descriptions intrigue me. I’m not much of a road or mountain biker, nor a world traveler. I love to find a small place where there are less people to engulf myself in its majesty.
If either one of you would like to meet up or would like to do a two on one date to see if one of us connect I would enjoy a chance at meeting both of you. If nothing else maybe we could become friends.
Best of luck to the two of you,
Jeep Guy

Dear Jeep Guy,
Please explain to me why being single is not a given. Why waste your time typing it, when I’m assuming that your response to our ad implies that you are. The men who should take the time to type something about their singleness status are those who are not single. They should also provide an essay as to why they are in the dating ads if they are not single. And then they should expect to be made fun of on the internet. And probably hated.
Your email was otherwise rather well constructed (of course, ignoring the grammar, spelling and punctuation parts, of which you might be diagnosed with comma tourettes). But I am a bit baffled by your photo, I’ll confess. If there’s a story, do tell. Or not.
Love, Gigi

Roommate #1’s take on this: That should be a requirement for using the internet: you have to have graduated from some sort of high school institution. This would cut down on the idiocy that people were subjected to online. I mean, in America we have certain places we usually keep those people…
Me: …like, prison?
Roommate #1: (laughing)…or rural communities…
Me: Or prison…hahaha.
As a special treat, which I have not yet been able to upload to YouTube or Vimeo, I’ve recorded a live critique of one of the more recent Craigslist responders. A man who might be anorexic and who cracks himself up. With an exclamation point.
