So I was on Craigslist… (oh good grief, I know what a toxic wasteland it is, just get off my case already.)
So anyhoo, I was on Craigslist in the strictly platonic section, and surprisingly enough, I find an ad by a girl looking for someone to accompany her for pleasant conversations and the best hot cocoa she could find in the city. She had read an article listing the best 22 places to find hot chocolate and was planning to check them all out, and her ad was an invitation to join her on her chocolatey journey. I thought it was the most adorable thing I ever read, and promptly sent her an email.
You think I got a response? Of course not.
So you know what, hell with it, I’ll go visit these places myself and sip my own damned cocoa. I managed to find the article she was referring to, so now I can make my own chocolatey journey through the city, probably starting New Year’s Day. New Year’s Day is the best time to go joyriding around Manhattan too, practically everyone is in bed with a hangover while the sober, smart ones among us have the whole city to ourselves.
So I’ll just have to dance alone as usual, but I’m not going to let that stop me from having a good time.

Sounds like it would have been something really fun to do, too! One thing to note on Craig’s List and women, is that we get WAYYYYY more responses than men do. A good male friend of mine and I posted Craig’s List ads on the same day one year and he got 2 responses, both spam, and I got 372, of which about 350 were real people. So, don’t take lack of response for lack of interest.
Three hundred and fif…
I see now what I have to do. I must exterminate half the male population in my state.
Maybe I can find a virologist who can develop a virus that only kills single males and ugly women. What a better world this would be then.
Yes, 350, not sure why the response rates work out like that, but they do and I live in a relatively small area, so I couldn’t imagine if I posted it in a more metro area… OH MY! Luckily, I have a good screening process in place and that helps narrow the responses down really quick.
Good luck with that virus… but please keep it on your side of the country, some of us are still looking for some decent, single men over here.
I’ll have the virus programmed to only take out liberal metrosexual suckbagging girlie boys. That should ensure minimal impact on red states. :-D
Ok, I thank you for that. One must be careful of the total impact before releasing harmful viruses into the general population. Lucky for me, I am not into liberal metrosexual suckbagging girlie boys. :)
Good choice on taking the hot cocoa tour yourself. Merry Christmas, Linc, and Happy New year coming up!
Merry Christmas to you as well! God bless us everyone.
