What do you think of this guy's "ad"?

[edger]

Sounds like a buisiness arrangement to me. He's just stating what women actually DO.Maybe the blunt statement of the facts is a little over the top,but if you were moving to a new city for a couple months;would you want to buy the furniture or rent it. the social stigma qould be less than getting arrested for soliciting[which is what he is doing].

Not much different than marriage and he's holding that hope out there-so she doesn't feel like a HO and can justify it in her mind. I think he's more of a DJ than many of you are giving him credit for-he knows what he wants,what he is willing to give up to get it, and doesn't care what society thinks about it. IF I had a job where I was working 80 hours a week and moving to a new town? I can see where I would find a live in maid/toy worth looking for[with a minimum hassle factor-he just ran the ad instead of bar hopping another couple hours a day]


I value my time at $100/hour, so the fun times you spend chasing women 10 hours a week,I figure cost me $1000

Prostitutes, you gotta love 'em. All a man needs to do is front some money, and the sex can come so easy, although in this case, the guy needs to be offering a little more than what he already is, if he wants a nice piece of ass.

We'd need to see a picture of him and his life to know for sure what he has to offer[women give it up so easily now-as compared to 20 years ago] A Hollywood wannabe waiting tables may think it's a great idea-she can spend more money on acting classes etc. There are plenty of women that are that cold and calculating.

I can and do go out and pull women,I'm just cognicent of what it is costing me[opportunity costs]. If I had more opportunities[younger and more energy], I might think about an "arrangement" like that because I's still come out ahead financially. You know-build your life,not worry about women[cause you've got it covered].

Obviously the guy's thinking he can run an ad and get his heart's desire. Like magic! Dream on. You know the kind of chick that's going to answer that ad, if it does ever get answered? An irresponsible chick that amasses debt wherever she goes and leaves creditors stuck, lets things slide into disrepair and rot, is probably getting stoned all the time, she's going to turn his place into a pig sty, eat all his food, steal his money and give him a disease or two until she decides to skip.

The cost to him, to run this ad, is nothing. In the event he finds an attractive, sane chick that will take him up on this, he just got a great deal for himself.

So what if he pays her rent? Men and women in relationships of all sorts pay each other's rent all the time, and often they hardly get any sex at all, and if they do get sex, their partner is often ugly.

Maybe this guy has got deep financial resources, and doesn't want to spend time chasing women, at all.

So if her share of the rent is chump change to him, and she's attractive, a live-in FB isn't such a bad idea.

Somewhat appalling. At least he is honest, though. He gets points for that.

It's not about the dollars and cents that makes this ridiculous.

It is about the mindset that led him to make that ad.

There is a good reason why girls who see this ad online will think he is a loser.

^^^^^ That's why. No matter what his predicament is or why he posted the ad, it just seems skeevy and any girl with a good head on her shoulders would avoid this situation like the plague. I just keep thinking... he went through unusual measures, (posting an ad online looking for someone who will agree to this sort of thing), that he probably is an extreme and potentially dangerous kind of person.

He does get points for honesty, though. Best to be upfront and honest about what you want... it could be the key to getting it.

Unless she was unemployed and REALLY needed a place to stay....

I agree that this isn't the best way to go about something like this, but on the other hand, your personal reaction was probably based on the fact that you are at a secure place in life- a lot of people aren't.

I think the chances of something like this working are slim, but the situation itself isn't entirely uncommon. For sh!ts and giggles, awhile back we were talking about Craigslist ads on here, and I decided to run an experiment. I posted on the "Casual Encounters" section, and did get some bites. You wouldn't THINK that women would resort to such measures when sex is so readily available to any semi attractive woman, but surprise surprise! There are good looking chicks on there who are just looking to hook up.

The slight chance of success of posting this kind of ad and the craigslist thing I just mentioned probably has a lot to do with the anonymity factor. A woman knows that if she hooks up with someone in her circle, the rest of her friends are likely to find out. Same goes with the roomie situation. If she can find an "arrangement" outside of her normal social network she will be less likely to be perceived as a h0.

Best to be upfront and honest about what you want...

May i please see your data for this belief?

It is my experience that no one chooses this path, which seems odd if it's so effective.

 

[Jitterbug]

If he really does have a nice place, there are plenty of desperate backpackers willing to take on the offer.

 

[Scaramouche]

I agree with SodBuster and Jitterbug.....Sure he will get someone.....although maybe get robbed and a dose of the Clap into the bargain.....It is interesting though.....If he lived in my City I would contact him and try to meet for a chat.
