I accidentally met a model through craigstlist????

[Dapper Swindler]

This is kind of a funny story I'd like to share.

Disclaimer 1: This story contains references to craigslist and the blasphemous "online" dating scene. The Dapper Swindler is well aware of the problems and thoughts DJs have and should have about such ways meeting women. The topic does not need to turn into such a discussion. Thank you.

Disclaimer 2: The Dapper Swindler is not a real DJ, nor is he really much of a normal, healthy, adult male. He is a rAFC or what he likes to call a LIG (lacking inner game). Keep this in mind and there is no reason to point this out to him and make fun of his skillz.

So I recently moved to Chicago right? I found my apartment through craigslist. I noticed that you can also meet friends and women through craigslist. That's great because I don't know a soul here. I'm not afraid to meet a stranger, it could be interesting right? So I create post on "strictly platonic". I throw in some subtle DJ moves in the post to get ladies interested (if I could DJ only through writing, I would be a master), even though I was really just curious to meet people and not necessarily wanting to date. In fact, I even said that I didn't need to see a pic because I didn't have one to share and it's on "strictly platonic" anyway so looks shouldn't matter. That totally worked, I received a dozen or so responses. I reply back to a few e-mails and try to get some numbers.

HINT: If you're going to ignore everything DJs tell you and go with online dating, NEVER EVER use an instant messenger. Don't even use e-mail if you don't have to. Get the number and cut out all that bullcrap, it's a waste of time.

So I make some phone calls and a lot of the girls seem nice enough. I met a lot of them. Unfortunately, even though I really said looks didn't matter because it was platonic, it was starting to get annoying after the third girl or so...how can I put this delicately?... looked like someone who would put an elephant to shame. Dang, that wasn't delicate. (with the exception of a polish girl who was, even by DJ standards, at least an HB7).

So anyway, a few weeks later, I have about two girls left that I haven't met yet and only spoke too on the phone. Angie and Jen. They are both pretty friendly and responsive to me. I decide to give it one last shot, but if I do this again I WILL REQUIRE A PICTURE! I called Angie and spoke for a while, maybe we'll meet next week.

This evening I called Jen. I may have called her twice before, about a week apart. Jen had a friendly, confident, bubbly voice. She was a realtor and was very outgoing. It doesn't hurt to call right? Even if she is another hippo-skirt (not delicate enough?).

So we're talking on the phone and it went something like this ...

Jen: blah blah blah, realtor stuff, blah blah Halloween blah blah

DS: blah blah blah

Jen: So blah blah I'm on my way to this bar where I'm supposed to work tonight blah blah

DS: I thought you were a realtor?

Jen: I am but I also promote this vodka at events blah blah blah

DS: Um, wha?

Jen: Yeah I'm a spokesmodel for this vodka at big events it sucks but sometimes you get to meet celebrities blah blah Jennifer Aniston blah blah went to a party at David Schwimmer's blah blah

DS: duh wha?

Jen: It's kind of a crappy gig but it's all my agent could do.

DS: der der agent?

Jen: Yeah, my modeling agent. I'm a model, didn't I tell you that?

DS: No! (don'tsoundimpresseddon'tsoundimpresseddon'tsoundimpressed) Uh.. LET'S HAVE TEH BABIES!!11 (SH*T!)

Note: I didn't actually say "Let's have teh babies!" but upon consideration I think that would be a killer opening line to shout at some girl at a club. Try it out. She'll either laugh or run away screaming, either way is good.

So I don't know what to think. I've still never actually seen her so who knows if she's real model quality or not. Maybe she's a "plus sized" model or something. Why would a model respond to a craigslist post? Did my line about not worried about looks appeal to her in some way? Maybe she is too often judged based on looks? How could she "forget" to tell me she was a model? We must have spoken on the phone over several calls for a total of 45 minutes. Did she purposely not tell me because she didn't want me to think of her that way?

One thing that I'm sure of is that she is NOT lying about it. It may sound like she possibly is when I tell the story but I could tell if she were lying. Trust me. I'd stake a bet on it.

So maybe a funny story. Interested to hear your thoughts and I'll update as this develops.

she's a model ....and? ask her questions about her personality.

"OK we already know you're good looking. But are you adventurous? Do you like doing crazy stuff...i like girls who are adventurous bla bla"

make her qualify herself to you

don't put the ***** on a pedestal

Oh yeah, Jen the Vodka spokmodel..I know her!

She is a plus-sized but it's in all the areas that count..if ya know what I mean

Yeah, I think your listing on Craig'slist probably did attract if her if you said looks don't matter, she is really tired of people always drooling over and and just loving her because of how she "looks". Which is another reason she never tells anyone about her modeling until she feels she can trust them.

P.s. Your lucky Jen doesn't know you post here, she wouldn't like what you said about fat girls looking like elephants, because she has a lot of friends like that..in fact one of her best friends is pretty big. Dont' worry though, I won't tell her about it.

What? You don't know her. Why do you talk like you know her? I'm confused. What's going on here?

I've met a number of girls off craigslist...some of them were definitely attractive so I don't doubt she is a model. Just meet her and have fun. Don't try to figure out why women do what they do...just be happy a model fell into your lap.

Did she swallow your c-um yet?

My point exactly, I don't know her but nobody else does either. Which is why we can't really tell you all those questions you were asking. Is she a plus-sized model? Did she like the fact that you said looks don't matter? Who knows, who cares? The point is, your meeting new women in your area which is definetly a good thing. The only way you'll know all these answers is when you finally meet her. Just remember, try not to be all nervous and excited just because she's a model, like you were on the phone!
Do something like what Riddler said and make her try to qualify herself.

P.s. most importantly, let us know how things turnout!

she sounds like a wannabe model. thats what kind of girls go to clubs and hand out promo material for alcohol companies. but chances are shes not ugly. they usually only hire good looking girls for that. definitely not some hippos. so i say go for it.

Ah, okay. I was totally confused by that post. Yeah, I don't expect you guys to answer those questions; they're sort of rhetorical and suspenseful to the story. And sadly, this is probably the most interesting thing that's happened to me in a while.
Definitely, my only hope is to not be impressed at all with what she looks like and explode with subtle negs all over. I'm going to try calling her tomorrow.
