Please Look Other Side (Craigslist Catch)
I posted on Craigslist something like 200 years ago and, apparently, the post is still alive and well on the site. I say this because I get emails about twice a week still. Most of them are utterly bizarre (today I got a picture of a guy groping some girl and in his email he wanted to know if I was bi) and the one I’m about to share is no exception to that rule.
I’d also like to mention that his “best pictures” included him wearing a Disney’s Goofy character hat. Obviously, I took my pants off straightaway:
hey i’m sending my best pics i hope u like em i dont look the same but u ask for
i’m latino, i work maintenance” handy boy” and other tons of things but i like to read about all i’m sagittarius i love to spend time out and my days have of every thing, i’m 26 years old
i like to have any kind of conversations i never even try drugs or bad records in my life i used to drink like every body in hs but now only wine and today is my pizza, salad, red wine, dark chocolate night a good movie too
if you don’t like long term relationships please look other side.
if you like drama too
please be hones thats gold
wow. just wow.
Clearly this guy is a fabulous catch… did you email him back yet
The definition of a “hone” is: “A tool with a rotating abrasive tip for enlarging holes.”
So… can someone please clarify what is meant by “please be hones thats gold”? And why in world a guy would ever feel compelled to say this to a woman?
Thanks.
I weep for my people. This is not an example of a good latino man; at the same time it is a very common plague that hits the internet of America.
Dear in PA:
If it makes you feel better, this kind of stupid email has absolutely no race bias. In fact, most of the ridiculous emails I get are from sad, lonely white boys.

Beloved,
Obviously. We’ve already planned the wedding date.
You’re invited.
sooo…
maybe english is his second language, and he is not proficient at typing either? or adept at using punctuation? possibly even, as in my case, he finds capital letters to be of absolutely no use unless his writing is formal or he expects it to actually be published. personally, i think contacting a woman might be grounds for a more formal writing, or perhaps even spell checking and proofreading at the least.
as far as the “hones” phrase, i believe he may have meant to type “honest”.
i am not defending him. i am merely aghast in horror that without due diligence, i might be that guy or just a sad, lonely white boy.
