Men Who Don't Read the Personals…

Posted by gigigriffis under dating misadventures, love&, oops

but DO respond to them!

These examples are of men who responded to our double date request and, somehow, didn’t understand what we meant when we said "TWO" men. For your reading (and making fun of) pleasure, our NOT favorite responses:

1.
My name is Craig, I am 29, 6′ 155 with blue eyes. I have a good job a car and very open minded. I enjoy photography a lot, hiking, cooking, being outdoors and spending time with friends and making people laugh.

Craig apparently doesn’t want to tell us that he has no friends. Because it is sad. It is also sad that Craig cannot read. Poor Craig.

Obviously, Roommate #1 and I did not explain well enough when we said double date and "two" in our ad. Because really, what we meant, is that guys who don’t know interest can’t be intrigued should write to us as if we posted a single person ad. Obviously.

Hi

I recently moved to Colorado last year after completing my Grad school in California.

I love meeting new people and making new friends.

Here’s a little bit about me.

1. I turned 26 on May 8th. Yup I’m a Taurus!
2. I love the outdoors. I bike,trail run and hike a lot. Also I’m training for the Boulder Boulder on May 26th.
3. I practice yoga.
4. I’m always smiling and very funny!
5. I love to travel and see different places.
6. I have a British accent. I studied in a British school for 14 years.
7. I have a wonderful smile (I do have some captivating pearly whites).
8. I love to cook and proud to say am an expert in the culinary art :-)
9. I play a lot of sports.
10. And I’m so so addicted to Ice cream :)
Well that’s me in a nutshell

Message me whenever you get the chance. Look forward to hearing from you.

Cheerio

Dear California Boy: Obviously you do not understand that, just because you are from California (and we know what that means about the size of your ego), does not mean you get to date us both. Love, Gg

In an effort to not overwhelm you with the awesomeness that was our responses…I will save the rest for later. For now, dear men of craigslist, please note that, though it may be difficult and sometimes words like "two" are very hard to understand, we do expect you to read our post before writing back.

Love,

Gg & Roommate #1

  1. Emma Said,

    Classic. Hope it works out though and you get to go on your double date with TWO guys. I’m guessing they’re just hoping that you’ll pick them and then pick one more separately? Boys are dumb.

    Did I ever tell you that I responded to some ads on Craigslist? I’ve actually made a few friends that way and haven’t encountered anything horrifying as of yet. I also might be getting a free website out of the deal. Oh, speaking of which… You’re a designer… I don’t suppose I can inspire you to design a logo for me if you have a little spare time at some point in the near future?
