My roommate Courtney is kewl. She's trying to find me a man. Judging from the criteria above, I must not be very difficult to attain. It is true that I enjoy felines, the occassional pepperoni stuffed crust, and some Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It is also true that I despise Chicago's very own shitastic Orgy wannabe gothic band Kill Hannah as well as whiny people. And I guess I do enjoy the taller gentlemen as well.

However, this is just what Court and I do when we have no money and need to entertain ourselves. Browsing the CL Missed Connections wasn't enough, you see, we needed to scope us some dewds for ourselves.

If you think the ad above is pretty ridiculous, that's because it is--and any person who would realistically seek love on CL has got mayjah probz, specially if they're ok to be on a boyfriend/girlfriend basis strictly on the minimal provided info above.

But we got responses.

Oh boy, did we get reponses.

Here's some snippets from the love contestants:

I'm a 25 year old, software tester working for the biggest telecomm company in America in downtown chicago. Indian by ethnicity. 5'11", hazel eyes, stable job...I don't do drugs or drama, I like goofy comedies and action movies. I'm in ok shape I guess. I used to be athletic (played for my high school soccer and basketball team) but a bad knee injury 3 years ago has left me unable to physically compete. I still lift weights and stuff, and my new years resolution is to get my knee fixed and start working on that "10 year in the making" dream of mine to get a 6-pack heh.

yeah, i have a cat. pizza hut is deliciousdevito cracks me up in sunny
i'm not whiny either

i had a buddy in college who's for real name was "danny devito." i think its a sign...... what are the other requirements in a man your roommate desires? how tall is she?

hi, yes, here is a pic for you. she is 5'6"? ohh then I think we're good, I'm 6'7"

how tall is she? is she cute? is she nice? **not the funniest application, however the email inquiring was sent from absurdlybadass@live.com so that's worth a date alone right there. . .

Is she oral at all? To give or receive?

Hi, Im lawrence and im 6'4"220# blue eyes. Employed and love my job,just looking,lifes short and currently single. What does she look like.

Still looking for a guy for your roommate? I'm 6' 4"


These were not all the lovesick romantics seeking my hand, either. Unfortunately, I am not looking to pursue a relationship with anyone, let alone these particular choosey gentlemen. But I guess I know when it's ready to hit the field, there are absolutely no standards on Craigs List. And all it takes to put a ring on it is to like cats, pizza, DD & hate crappy tunes and whiners. I guess that puts me in the upper echelon right there.
