The Trolls of Craigslist

Posted by Princess MoMo on Aug 20 in Epic fails, Men, Online dating

 

Have you ever wondered who replies to craigslist personals?  Apparently, a lot of people do.  I posted an ad under the women seeking men section on Friday night around 10:15 p.m. for entertainment purposes.  (I’ve posted on there in the past, so I was prepared for the influx of messages I was about to receive.  Based on my experience, I even included a “no dick pictures” disclaimer.  Shockingly, the disclaimer was effective, as I did not receive a single dick pic – unless you count the one picture of a guy’s boner covered by his boxers, Anthony Weiner style photography.  Seriously guys, most girls don’t find pictures like that appealing.  It’s true: Your penis can cock block itself!)

 

 

 

Despite the lack of pictorial representation of Princess MoMo, a vast majority of the respondents included pictures, and several even included their phone numbers.  These messages continued from 10:15 p.m. to roughly 2 a.m.  I replied to one a little after 1 a.m. because the guy didn’t seem retarded and he visually appealed to me.  Not surprisingly, it turned out he sucked.  (That exchange is the last one in the series of nonsense below.)  Without further ado, I present to you the trolls of craigslist…

Hey,

Im a handsome fella. A charm that works, wicked smile, and a subtle sense of humor. I live in Hillsborough. The only issue I can see is being 3" under your ideal of Mr Right's height.

If you want to make an exception – no pressure – we can trade pics. But you have to send your first. :)

 hey there I a white msle 5 ft 9 185 in good shape and good looking ………. 40 ish . I live in manville …… meet for a drink somewares…………… let me know. i have a face book pic if your interested.phil

 

 

Hey are you still bored?

Hey whats up?

 

I saw your ad on CL and sounds good…..


I'm Jimmy, 27, living in Edison, NJ…..I'm a very happy and optimistic guy, independent, professional and educated, non-smoker, easy going….


I love hanging out at the beach, long drives, workouts, going out to restaurants/bars, love music/movies,pool, bowling, rafting, tubing, traveling, etc etc….

So how do you usually have fun? Tellme more about you….

Attached are all my latest pics….Can I see your pics?

 

 

I will be in NNJ next week on a business trip. Not looking for a "booty call" or casual sex, but I'd like to find someone to join me on a date — or multiple dates if all goes well. You can only spend so many lonely nights eating room service in a hotel room, right?

Anyway, I'm originally from the Northeast and get back there pretty frequently, so if we hit it off, don't think this will only be a one-time thing.

About me: I'm 5'9, white, attractive, athletic build, college educated and have a great sense of humor.

Worst-case scenario, you get a free dinner. Best-case, well, who knows?

I've included a pic below..

My dear darling angel,
    Sorry, I can get  very sappy sometimes…. I just wish to express my feeling that love is not about body parts, it's about epic ethereal connection. I love you just for who you are, not for any otehr carnal reasons.

    Hi. I'm a college student from Camden New Jersey. If you don't mind, darling, I just wish to share with you some random thoughts of mine. I have gradually come to the conclusion that romantic relationship thrives and blossoms most gracefully when the inamorato ( the male lover) and the inamorata ( the female lover) shoulder the burdens of life in unity and love each other through intense mutual support. I always have this fantasy: that one day, I can live with my beloved princess. I have this dream that we can both become successfully in accomplish our academic, career, and personal goals together. I will try my best and I pray , upon  devotion and gallantry, that i can at least bring joys into my beloved darling sweetheart's life. you know, to be there for each other (especially considering the fact that we are all in the same shoe of college life) and to encourage each other toward achieving our visions. 
 
Something about myself and my philosophy. I don't know if you mind or not, I'm an Asian-American boy.  I'm 20 years old ( sorry I'm not 24 or older, but can't love transcends ages???) and very soon I will be going to Rutgers.  I'm a biology major and trying to go for pre-med. I believe that love is supposed to spiritual and elevated.  It's not exclusively sexual. It involves self-sacrifice and dedication and commitment. Its quintessence is the perpetual flame of ardency and passion, otherwise, romantic relationship will quickly degenerate into a disillusionment without that fervency. This is my vision a highly idealized romance : that the lover will always be active and humble in carrying out the duties of serving his beloved. He will do the household chores whenever he can, he will cook with his beloved (  which a wonderfully intimate experience), he will not yell at his beloved, but always stay calm and cool and above all, empathetic. Finally, I passionately believe that  attentive listening is a virtue to be cultivated. If I can ever be privileged enough to be in a relationship, I wish i could train myself to quick to 
listen but slow to utter.
I like long walk and conversation.In fact, I know it may sounds weird and bizarre, one of my dream in the future is if I can be blessed to be in a tender relationship and live together,  I would love to just sit down, you know, and share feelings and frustrations about everything together. Shares our ups and downs together. You mentioned about fun  .I also truly believe that you know, in this life, one of the best fun is to spend quality time with someone you love.
 
forgive me for my long letter because i believe it's best way to fully capture my sentiments.
 
may love and peace be with you
 
Truly hope to hear from you soon. I wish we can call each others so that may be we can go on a date ( btw, I have never been on a date before. please forgive me if i conduct myself awkwardly). if email does not always convey the information, we should exchange phone numbers because you know sometimes how you can better say somethings better through interpersonal interaction than through dry words.

 your most humble brother/lover/friend

P.S: sorry ,i don't have picture right now because I'm afraid I'm not handsome…  but I do have my profile picture at facebook. I mean, I look okay.I'm just so afraid my appearance ( kind of dorky, wear glasses, wear plain shirts, looking uncool) might not be extremely handsome…I just want to be honest and truthful upfront. But  If you want to see it, I shall comply. please tell me in the next e-mail and I will send it to you when we trade pictures( I'm still trying to figure out how to upload image in email)  or we can meet each other- which is far more better, you know, at least I can dress myself more presentable.. ( that way, you can see truly what I look like…) But please forgive me for my ugliness in  deep contrast to your boundless beauty. 
 
I sincerely pray for and yearn the day when we can meet each others sometimes and get to know each other. Words from email cannot always adequately express the depth of emotion….
 
love

Specimen:

Hey there…sorry I am just getting this …Hopefully you werent too bored tonight…I liked your description…a lot….and you made me laugh completely out loud with no dick shots comment…I still cant believe guys do that…it just doesnt compute with me…at all

Anthony

 

Princess MoMo:

Hi Anthony-

 

What are you doing trolling around C/L so late?  Tell me more about you, including height, location, profession, age, etc.

 

Specimen:


did you just call me a troll? and who exactly are you? I just answered a couple of ads…which one was you?

 

Princess MoMo:

I see.  Casting a wide net…typical cyber troll behavior.

 

Specimen:

fuck you…for you to even think like that..you're a dude…I hope your fucking family dies in a fire…go fuck your self

 

Princess MoMo:

Wow. Actually, I'm the total opposite of a dude.  You're quite defensive.  Your initial message misled me into believing you may actually be a normal guy, but that was silly of me to think.  Have a great night and good luck in your internet endeavors.  What waste of looks you are…

 

Specimen:

I mislead you? exactly how did I mislead you? I only reacted with my disdain AFTER you called me a fucking troll..and you are either responding from bridgewater nj ad or the  "Me" post…which one is it? or has the cat got your tongue…troll boy?   you dont speak as though you would be from the ME ad…which leaves the bridgewater post…and where does wash dc fit in? or dont you like that I know that?

 

Princess MoMo:

FYI, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet)

 

Specimen:

you're a dude…you can send manuscripts from ancient fucking egypt…you never addressed the dc thing…which means YOU are the fucking dc troll…dude

 

Princess MoMo:

I'm impressed with your stupidity.

    I actually found that last guy to be quite amusing. And the reply that stated “the worst case scenario was that you get a free dinner. Best case, well, who knows.”. Kept my lunchtime interesting.
