Attractive Couple Looking for Acrobactial Midget – mw4w – 25


Smart, young sucessful couple is looking for a attractive, short female who is under 4 feet tall.
We enjoy being active and like to do things out doors. Boating, BBQing, camping, and anything fun.
Must be athletic or at least willing to do atheletic things like gymnastics and poses.
This will not be a sexual relationship, unless it leads to that in future.
No major health problems, 420 friendly is a plus. Must like dogs and mexican hats

Please respond with pictures to get pictures!
Hope to hear from your shortness soon!

My brain can’t parse the word “acrobactial”. I keep seeing antibacterial. “The Antibacterial Midgets” would be a terrible name for a band, though.

I think this came out of a conversation in which the couple sat down and said, “Are our friends diverse enough? Let’s see, we’ve got Mike — he’s gay AND African-American, so that covers two. Mindy is half-Asian — does that count? We’ll have to look for more Asian friends. Rafael is Hispanic, Sandeep is from India, and Björn is from Sweden. You know what we’re missing? A midget. Let’s put an ad on Craigslist looking for a midget friend/sex partner. Then we’ll officially be diverse and hip.”

I mean, let’s be honest here: who doesn’t need an athletic, weed-friendly, mexican-hat wearing midget in their lives? I know I do.

    Hmmm … seems to me they posted in the wrong forum. They’re looking for a pet.

    “420 friendly”? What’s that? Is that sort of like Formula 409, which is what they’ll use to clean up any midget messes? Or is that like 401k (or 403k, like in a previous ad), where the midget can start putting away her savings?

      Any surprise the couple that want a sombrero-wearing midget would be potheads?

        yes, 4/20 is april 20th.. national pot day! a day when anyone and everyone can smoke as much weed as they want, wherever they want… until they run into a cop.

    I can empathize though.
    I would really like partying and camping with a midget in a sombrero.
    I think my friends would too. I think i’m actually jealous of them for thinking of this first.

    And sadly enough “your shortness” keeps making me giggle too.

    So, um, just what kind of sexual athletic posing are they going to be doing with barbecues, dogs, and Mexican hats? O.O

    Midget? Isn’t the pc term now ‘little person’?

    And hey, smart, young sucessful couple, way to strike a dagger into the heart of all those lilmidpersons who may not be attractive, healthy or athletic, but are still yearning to do gymanstics and ‘poses’ with complete strangers.

    To me the best (most scary?) part is their denial that this will be a sexual relationship. Why else specify an attractive (with pictures) female who does poses? Unless of course Barnum and Bailey are advertising job openings on CL…

      My friend responded to an ad from a guy simply looking for someone to ride with him to Montreal and split gas costs. He got back to her asking for a photo. 😛 I’m sure this midget thing IS meant to be sexual (unless it’s just a complete joke) but I think a lot of people posting for non-sex things secretly hope to get sex as a side benefit.

      I dunno. Gigglebraxing has seen some debate and conflict at PAN. I dont know if it should spread.

      And there’s a difference between a lack of nesting features and being unable to use them properly.

        *resists juvenile urge to make jokes using the word ‘spread’*

        I think gigglebraxing is making a slow, but inexorable, foray into teh interwebs vernacular, we might not be able to stop it now.

        As for : “And there’s a difference between a lack of nesting features and being unable to use them properly.” cornflakes, you can just say I’m an idiot, you wouldn’t be the first. 😉

      Yep, the add is reasonably well written, and understandable. If you’re a pot head who travels with your dogs, I can see that you would want your new ‘friends’ to be comfortable with that aspect or your life. But Mexican hats? I just can’t get my head around why that would be important.

    Real or fake I admire the advertiser for coming up with something kinkier than I ever imagined.

    Unless they’re willing to watch something really simple, a balance beam routine while wearing nothing but a sombrero isn’t going to happen.

    My favourite bits:

    looking for a attractive, short female who is under 4 feet tall.

    As opposed to what, an attractive TALL female who is under 4 feet tall?!

    This will not be a sexual relationship, unless it leads to that in future.

    Er, OK, so what you’re saying is, the relationship will not be sexual until it is.

    No major health problems, 420 friendly is a plus.

    You can use pot, as long as you’re not one of those people who has an actual reason to use it.

    Must like dogs and mexican hats.

    What, together? I’m now thinking about a certain chihuahua. Given the ad, that’s the safest thing to think about here.

    This ad is SO specific between the height, athletic ability, mexican hats (seriously, wtf?!), dogs, etc…and then smack in the middle, they like to do “anything fun” as opposed to all those people who are 420 friendly, dog-loving, mexican-hat-loving, athletic, etc. that just hate doing anything fun. You say you smoke pot? Really? Never would have guessed.

    (I’m just really amused they have such a long list of demands yet thought it would be sufficient to describe themselves as smart, young and professional (clearly!) people who like to do outdoor things but really anything fun.)

    I’m told that dwarf is also correct, and that midget is considered derogatory/disparaging/otherwise a poor vocabulary choice.

    Crap, confused by nesting (no blame but my own) – this is supposed to be further up the list. Ta.

    i’ve usually heard dwarfism to define disproportionate dwarfism, where some parts of the body are disproportionate to others.

    Ok, I believe I can help. Judging by the 420 reference I would assume the ad is real and was posted by a couple that was really high, probably watching Wizard of Oz or Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and saw the midgets dancing around and thought it would be awesome if they had one of their own. The mexican hat is not a referance, if anyone has seen Jackass(I’m almost ashamed to say I have), you can see Weeman do a mexican hat dance. They are probably hoping to recreate the event with their hopefully new found friend.
