Guy looking for love on Craigslist. First assumed he'd just be another beta for surfing there, but the more you read the more you're pleasantly surprised. (post from TBP; you know it's gold if they're complaining bout it)

This isn't a very good example. It's too stiff. He gets high marks for asserting dominance and displaying value, but I don't think he's going to produce any sort of chemistry. This is the sort of dude that gets played while he's at work, and consequently, produces a hole in the theory. There is one very important question you need to ask yourself: do you see this guy sitting and laughing with a girl? Do you see the girl having anything near what you could call fun? Don't just fall back on the maybe answer, just judge him on what he's put forth. Because I could see a woman being very miserable being with this man, even if she is provided for.

Holy quotation mark abuse.

I don't know what it is. Is it the fact that he's so blunt, straight to the point. Or is it the fact that he implies pre-selection with all of his standards for women? One example of a TRP line:

16) Question: I like to be "spoiled" and I want to know how much you are going to spend on me. How much?

Answer: You sound like a gold-digger or prostitute. My headline says "Gentleman" or "Professional" it doesn't say $ATM$ Machine. If you are looking for an ATM Machine to finance and "spoil" yourself look somewhere else.

I ended up loving this guy!

This guy is so awesome, I wanna message him.

This "guy" must be a "LAWYER," with all the "disclaimers" AND "rules" he puts forth.

You know the "ladies" love a "MAN" who can write an air-tight "contract." I'm surprised that "HE" didn't add a "space" for them to "SIGN AT THE BOTTOM" of the "page."

I don't see much in there that is offensive. He stated what he wants and said if you don't fit the criteria then don't bother. I'm guessing the only reason TBP finds it offensive is because they know he'd reject their bitchiness and not even respond to their email.

He's doing too much filtering too soon.

He's basically being lazy. He wants the girls to filter themselves. An FAQ is great and works well (from experience). Yes, he's frustrated, and I don't know the LA CL scene, but either he is getting such a ridiculous amount of CL mail that he has to pre-filter the shit out of it, or he's going to unattract his primary attraction. Any girl that is "whatever the fuck he wants" probably is going to stop pretty early on because she knows she has value as well. And he's not really presenting the idea that his value is so high that she needs to sit through a 30 topic FAQ to get what she really wants.

At one point I was thinking it's a scam to get peoples personal info and pictures. No Reasonable CL responder is going to give all that on the first email. "Pic, name, etc, etc". You know how easy it is to identify someone with just a name OR a Photo. You typically don't need either to just run a few google searches to find what you want on someone.

I'm going to guess he will get a shit ton of automated spam and no replies from real women. I posted what was essentially a much shorter and less confrontational version of this ad, and that's what happened. (See below.)

As the title says, I'm looking for someone whom I can take home to mother. To be more clear, I'm looking for a woman in whom it will be worth my while to become invested emotionally, financially, and otherwise, over the course of many years. I live in [city], [state], but I am by no means restricting my search to the local area. These are some attributes that meet my definition of wife material. If you meet these criteria, then you probably understand why these are my criteria. If you don't understand them, or if you disagree with them, then I'm probably not interested in anything you have to say.

Age 18 to 25
Slender, feminine, and pretty
No tattoos or body piercings
Not a party hound or drug user (including long-term prescription pain medications or tranquilizers)
Has not slept with more than 3 other men
Never married, no children from a previous relationship
Has domestic skills, or is willing to learn them
Will put our children ahead of career goals and personal fulfillment
A one-man woman who will stand by her man and make him proud
