Twinkster Et Al

In retrospect, the men who reply to Craigslist ads are NOT the same men who read the NY Times. Not even close. Here is a sampling of the initial responses I received. (In other words, the emails I didn't write back to!) Please feel free to laugh at any and all of these guys, and remember --- I'm dating the losers so you don't have to, but even I have my limits!

Hey to be upfront I'm looking for a fwb only cause of our age gap difference but I have a taste for older women and I live close and just a real cool guy to hangout with though not so pushy for benefits unless ur wanting it too. Lets be friends who cares lol I'm 20 btw

So to be clear, you're looking for a "friends with benefits" except without the benefits? WTF?

If you don't work at Disney World, you have zero business wishing me a magical day. Also, I am terrified at the thought of whatever your three businesses may be. Code for drug dealer???

Wow. Just wow.

Hey beautiful ~ I'm a philosophical poet didn't you know it~ really I love words they have there own little solar sytems~ I love music too especially JAZZ~ just looking for cool not crazy but fun open-minded people~ give me a call ~ what part of life intrigues you the most~ I hope you get back to me~ my favorite food is probably sandwiches cause you can make them athousand different ways and even if they suck you could dip them in a thousand different very tasty condiments~

Sandwiches. Your lead-in is sandwiches? Jazz I could've gotten on board with. Poetry (even though you suck at it) still might've hooked me. I have never wanted to date a man for his affinity for ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, or whatever 997 condiments remain.
