YSaC, Vol. 319: At least he’s a self-aware dumbass.
shy me – 22
I’m a dumb ass , now i have to take a bus cause they took my dl(got one month left), have abit of a problem with a head and some of my friends tell me im an asshole ,got no front teeth, live in my parents basement ,never finish or if i think about it never stared the school that would explain my spelling(i thik the last homework i did was in 3 grade) and on top of it all just lost my job(god that looks bad)ha but so far in last six years that i spend in canada over all i did allrigt, i’m 5.11, 165pounds,still got my 6 (not like its matters)im white ,well fit ,grey eyes,with dirty blonde hair,intelegent inaf to realize the level of my personal stupidity,sick and tierd of the mind games shit,will not lie or betray.
If some one ask me what i’m looking for in the girl i gona have to say that she must be well fit,able to think(i hate stupidity) and she cant be to much of a bitch everything else dont realy matter
So if u think u can deal with the sad reality a have just presented send me an e mail and we go from there
O ye i do have good sence of humor (i can laugh at my self)
This is like a litany of personals sadness. Lost his drivers license, his friends think he’s a jerk, lives at home, dropped out of school, unemployed … wow. At least he claims he can laugh at himself. What’s the line from Hedwig and the Angry Inch? “I have to laugh … because I’ll cry if I don’t.” That seems apropos here.
I think we might actually have to start that “I can’t imagine why you’re still single” tag. That’s a bit long, though — any suggestions about a shorter tag name?
How about an “Always a bridesmaid” tag? Or perhaps “eHarmony Reject.” Maybe he needs to check out that “spider milking” ad, I’m sure that opportunity will fix all his woes.
“Surprisingly single”.
But he won’t be for long, with a personals ad like that. I mean, he’s intelegent inaf to hate stupidity in girls. Oh that reminds me, is there a ‘hypocrite’ tag??
“intelegent inaf to realize the level of my personal stupidity”
I honestly have no idea whether this is ironic.
Awwww, this kinda makes me like the poor guy.
Er, not that I want to date him, but…
Self-evident single.
~ ~ ~
He knows he’s stupid, but he hates stupidity. Hrm.
I just jumped into the text of the ad without reading the header and it wasn’t until halfway in that I realized it was a personal ad. Up until that point I thought maybe it was a rant and rave or … I don’t know … but a personal ad? This guy isn’t selling himself, he’s just curious to see who would actually respond. So sad!
How about “Amazed you’re available.”
How about “single why?”
“justifiable singleness”
It took me too long to realize “infa” = enough, and not infant.
“you’re single?!”
Still single?
No front teeth, *and* he has a problem with a disembodied head insulting him? No good! I mean, you could handle one, but not both.
Um, I’m getting a feeling of “this is a fake ad.” He spells well enough sometimes, but then his mistakes are so obvious. At the end he is saying that he doesn’t like stupid girls and that he wants them to have a sense of humour. Perhaps the whole ad is his “sense of humour.” I mean, if you’re that stoopid, then, surely, you’re unaware that you are? At least I hope this is the case…
i knew my ex would end up on craigslist
Says a hell of a lot about YOUR judgment, kt.
Hahhahahaha!
To the first comment, I mean.
Any idea what “still got my 6” means?
p.s. I’m onto you YSaC. You start getting popular, gain a lot more viewers, then go all “corporate sellout” on your layout. You’ve changed man…wearing ties, trying to look all professional….you used to be cool, dude.
I assume that he means his “six pack”, or his abs. He does seem to ramble a bit, so who knows for sure.
I was thinking teeth:)
I was thinking “six” pack as well. Proud that I can speak “sad reality” … NOT.
My tag suggestion is “Ookin pa nub”. (Anyone else remember the “Buckwheat Sings” sketch from SNL? Just me, then? Okay).
Either that or “…And s/he’s SINGLE!”
OPN? …in al da wong pwayces…. LOL
Wookin pa nub in all da wrong paces, wookin pa nub in too many spaces… loved it! Doesn’t Buckwheat get shot in that one?
“That explains it.” should be the tag. hah.
How about “Darwin at work”? People like this should not reproduce for a reason…
how about “Single?? SHOCKER!”
tag: “You’re single? Really?!” though I liked “Single? SHOCKER!” “Amazed you’re available” and “Justifiable singleness” too
I hate it when men lack front teeth AND have problems with a disembodied head. That’s when you know you got problems. Well, and when even your friends think you’re an asshole…and when your remaining “selling point” is a six pack that doesn’t matter…
nice Hedwig reference!!! “you Kant always get what you want” 😉
If it were grandparents’ basement instead of parents’, and if the guy could spell, I would think it was someone I know. He often writes overly-honest Craigslist personals in search of a woman who would take him at face value, and not as some kind of boyfriend fixer-upper project. Come to think of it, I know a lot of people whose Craigslist posts *should* be on this site, but aren’t yet for some reason.
I think it is time to start anonymously sending in your friends posts!!! I want to read them:)
Agreed — the reason they’re not on the site is because nobody’s sent them in!
“Where do I sign?”
How’s about “Oh, LADIEEES!”
“Bachelor of the Year”
I got it! Tag: “Single? No way!”
Got a problem with a head? What does that even mean? I know people have suggested he has a disembodied head, but if you have a disembodied head you might not want to bring that up until the third of fourth date.
This guy sounds like a fabulous redneck. The kind who would hang a rebel flag in his window instead of curtains. The kind who would combine a motorcycle and a riding lawn mower and use it for transportation. What’s the picture that’s been all over my e-mail inbox? Oh yeah, the one where someone has made a barbecue out of a campfire and a shopping cart.
I feel bad for someone with no front teeth. It’s not like you can hide that fact. You can understand the crusade for universal health and dental care.
I actually feel sorry for this guy. This is the only post that didn’t make me laugh. What’s going to happen to him? The rest of his life, what will it be like? It makes me a little depressed for him. I’m not sure why. haha?
Just discovered this site yesterday. I’ve been reading through it, laughing and snarking. Then you quoted ‘Hedwig and the Angry Inch.’ That sealed it. Site love!
Does anyone remember those old ‘Lowered Expectations” videos from Mad TV? Those were fictional and still not as bad as many of the real ads on craigslist. Fact is stranger than fiction.
You’re single?!? Score! Though eHarmony rejects I think is a winner.
“…have abit of a problem with a head…”
i’m gonna be wondering about this all day!
My guess is that “problem with a head” is loserese for “psychological difficulties”. His grasp of English grammar is so diminished that he mixes up the simplest pronouns. This does often happen with people who speak English as a second language, and/or are developmentally disabled.
I’m in agreement with Pademelon & katie. I think “Single… Really?!” sums it up.
