Girlfriend left me, wife left me, car wrecked, house flooded, tree fell on boat, parents suing me, SWM, 55, warm, friendly, trim, nice-looking, seeks bright, attractive, slender woman that likes a great sense of humor among other things. Call xxx-xxx-xxxx or xxx-xxx-xxxx.

Found in a small community weekly paper.

1. Seems he's trying to play to his sense of humour...

No doubt he'll not get much in the way of a reply. At least he's honest I guess and some people go for that I suppose? The fact that it's in a small community weekly seems even worse though, who uses the classifieds in those anymore?

7. Oh my....

I'd certainly be curious.... it can't be real. I'd call him using one of those disposable cell phones.

8. I would have until I saw 'attractive and slender' ....

Translation: "I'm a shallow jackass who thinks I'm better looking than I really am and I want to get laid."

As an aside, I met someone VERY special thru a personal that he posted as a joke. He described himself as a part-time grocery clerk, part-time grad student living in the shitty part of town, no car, chubby, borderline alcoholic who reads a lot, watches foreign films and smokes (several things). "My friends tell me I need something, although I'm not exactly sure what. A cat, maybe."

I LMAO'd at the ad & responded. He said I was the only real person who did - altho he got a couple porn bots - and after a few meetings at a local pub to discuss anything & everything, I was hooked & we started hanging out for real. No marriage, but it was a wonderful relationship and now is a great, long distance friendship.
