Flavor Flav might have better luck finding his match on Craigslist than Flavor of Love.
Calling all tossers, rag dolls and Stiflers: your match is waiting online. And you don’t have to answer eHarmony’s 3,287-question survey with the same question reworded 27 different ways. You like dogs or you don’t.
Whether you’re male, female, both or neither, someone’s interested on Craigslist.com. There is, however, no guarantee that that special someone has the spelling and grammar capabilities of a third-grader.
Craigslist is the leading classifieds service in any medium — with more than 30 million new ads each month, according to Alexa.com, the Web Information Company. The site gets more than 9 billion hits a month, placing in 56th overall among Web sites worldwide, reports Alexa.com.
Classifieds range from traditional buy/sell ads and community announcements to personal ads and erotic services. Unlike other sites like eBay, it’s free to post (most) ads.
The site does not (unfortunately) offer spell check to listers. Or an acronym dictionary for its less-sexually-adventurous searchers.
What you can find are people looking for friends, lovers and Tony Sopranos. Craigslist offers friendship, relationship, miscellaneous romance and, most interestingly, casual encounters.
You can search specific locations, with the closet being the Greenville/Upstate region, where all types are seeking all types — women for women, women for men, men for men, men for women, transsexuals for men and women, vice versa, and couples seeking all of the above.
Some can be picky: “I like a big Tony Soprano type guy who is bald or has a buzz cut, who can just toss me around like a rag doll.” Others …“You just must be disease free”… not so much.
Some know what they want: “I want a guy who loves Star Wars.” Some know what they don’t want: “If you don’t know what ubiquitous means, don’t read further.” And some don’t know what they’re talking about: “Can you do me right and touch the right spot?” listing title with the disclaimer that she’s “not an easy chick.” Really, ‘cause we’re not buying it Ms.-I’m-Placing-An-Ad-In-The-Casual-Encounters-Section.
Then there are those that are just plain weird: “I’ve never met a position I didn’t like,” “Cuddly cupcake seeking hard partner,” “Slightly bowlegged” transsexual, “Married but looking,” and a stay-at-home mom looking for “the nastier the better.”
To quote Flavor Flav, “WOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW.”
If you’re looking for a nightstand or a one-night-stand, Craigslist is your go-to site. Go get ‘em Anakin.
