I am getting so sick of Craig's List "Casual Encounters" readers...

I have a notice that I post to CL/casual encounters/m4m periodically. I describe myself and describe the kinds of guys I'm looking for. My "looking for" description is always "young, avg or slender build, no Bears — no exceptions". Seems pretty self-explanatory, doesn't it? Here are some snippets from some of the responses I tend to get pretty frequently.

> hi, i saw your ad. I'm 45...

Oh hai! I've gone back to alter my advert to actually define "young" for the old and/or feeble-minded -- a description which fits you at least halfway.

> hello sexy. i'm not yr type, but i'd love 2 play wit u...

then here's a tip: forward my notice to somebody who *is* my type, or just move along

>...if you're into slim & smooth guys, then I am not what you're looking for. But if you want a big ol' Bear...

Actually, I'd prefer somebody who can read, thanks.

> hi! i'm a sexy married gal with tight perky breasts...

THEN STOP E-MAILING THE M4M ADVERTS! YOUR POON IS NOT SO AWESOME TO MAKE ME ROOT FOR BOTH TEAMS!

What the crap, people?

OK, the last one is almost definitely a spam-bot, but the rest are very apparently from real people. Is my request really that difficult to understand? You know, it's shit like this that reminds me that Why Women Hate Men is funny because it's true. My gawd, I have it in my right mind to start a complimentary blog called "You Make Fags Look Stupid".
