Curbed LA: Craigslist Adverts: Know What You Want

Craigslist Adverts: Know What You Want
Friday, May 26, 2006, by jwilliams

This posting on Craigslist for a roommate is decidedly straightforward. There's not much to say really. The home is in Hollywood.

$400 - Looking for smoking hot boy to share house
Reply to: (redacted)

I'm looking for an incredibly beautiful man to share my house. Why does my next roommate have to be a gorgeous boy hung like a pony? Because I hate my job, that's why.

I spend everyday dealing with complete cockbites, only to come home and deal with one more cockbite fucktard, and I'm tired of it. For once, I want something to look forward to, and it's certaintly not going to be my job.

So if someone has suggested that you look like you like boys, even though you don't, (or better yet, you swing both ways), then you may just have what it takes to be my next roommate.

In all fairness though, it will take more than just being a scorching hottie to be my roommate, it will also take $700 every month. You will also have to put up with the following:

My friends will always be over to check you out
I will always be trying to check you out
I will move all of your food to the bottom drawer of the refridgerator, just so I can watch you bend over and get it (Oh, yeah! Get those apples from the crisper, you dirty boy!)
I will make every attempt possible to "accidently" bump into you as you are on your way out of the shower.
I will constantly try to get you drunk so that I can advantage of you. Sadly, in attempting this, I will get myself much more drunk than you could ever be, and promplty get myself taken advantage by someone much less desirable.
I will make you play 20 questions with me, and every time I will be thinking of you naked in the shower.
I will never make eye contact with you, because I will be staring at the bulge in your pants.
I will hound you to be part of my amateur photography collection.
I will eat all of your food (I'm lazy and cheap as well).

If this sounds reasonable to you, write a 5000 word essay on why you would be a good roommate for me. Then, throw that out and send me a hot picture of you instead. As long as you are hot, I really don't care what you do. You could be a herion addicted, neo nazi, kitten-killer, but as long as you look like one of the boys on the european runways.

And please be a non-smoker, single and extremely hot.

You can be smoking hot, but you can't be a smoker. Some of you are so shallow.

Sounds like any renter had better be prepared to be exposed to a variety of STDs, perhaps (and worse of all) even HIV.

What? How does one infer that you'll be exposed to STD's or HIV from that post? She/he (it's unclear) wants a 'hot boy' to look at and harass. Where the hell do you get promiscuous out of that? Sorry Glenn but that's ridiculous and presumptuous.

Tony, the tone of the posting (if in fact this is a legitimate post) suggests someone who is extremely preoccupied with sex and sensuality. That's not a value judgement BTW. Now I will agree nothing in the post explicitly demands sex (although the poster does say s/he will try to "take advantage of you"). But for you to think that actual sex is not on this person's mind is a bit naïve, don't you think?

what everyone's missing is the near 200% price increase in the ad - $400 becomes $700. So you're sorta getting taken advantage of in one way or another...
