The Interesting People Of Craigslist

Sometimes I like to peruse the personals listings on Craigslist, because, to put it simply, people are insane.  Here are a sampling of some of the personals still listed today on the Humboldt County Craigslist.  Sadly, some of my very favorite ones have been removed or expired, so we don't get to read about "why y'all afraid of bbws" (seriously, that was an actual one a couple months back.  I may have gotten the spelling or lack thereof wrong, but you get the gist).  Do not despair, though!  There are still some entertainingly bizarre people who want your hot lovings!  Before you ask, no, I don't put my troll pants on and reply.  I merely observe and laugh.

• Some men are refreshingly direct. 

• Others are impressively confident.

• Some requests are remarkably specific, yet vague at the same time.

• Desperation is a bit of a theme.

• I really don't think that "Barely Legal and Confused" would make a good title for any gay porno.

• I made you a date but I eated it?

• Do you really think that if your mother sees your post, she won't be able to puzzle it out if you use 1337? 

• Of course, it's not just guys who want to get in on the Craigslist action.  Some girls know what they want, too.  In this case, that means "whit boys," possibly with "tats."  Punctuation is a turn-off.

• I guess Humboldt County doesn't have a big enough population to have enough garage band bassists for everyone.

• See what I mean about desperation?  This poor lady is so desperate, she's willing to settle for off-brand genuine guys.

• Again, though, others go right for what they want.

• And sometimes those wants are a bit disturbing.

•  Humboldt County has some stereotypes, and its residents will do them proud!

• Right, there's that other stereotype about the area too.

• Persistence isn't one of the local stereotypes, but maybe it should be.

• Vegetarian... hippie... redneck... hick... things?  Ah yes, Humboldt County.

• It wouldn't be the internet without flamewars.

• Or spambots.

• Spambots that incite parodies that are almost as bad, that is.

• Of course, there are a few truly reasonable posts.
