I just posted the following ad on Craigslist for my girlfriend. Does this make me strange? (heeheehee)

Ladies and Bois, Butches and Femmes, "Womyn" and Grrrrls,

My girl is left all alone to fend for herself on nights when she'd like to be kickin' back, sippin' a beer and playin' a little sloppy pool, so I'm looking for a pool buddy for her. Now, it's not that you HAVE to be a pool date, really...you might be a 420 aficionado, a sporty dyke, you might just want to hang out and check out the chicks on the patio somewhere while enjoying the oh-so-rare Bay Area sunshine. Believe me, whatever you do, if she's there, it'll be a good time. She's smart, witty, HOT, funny, sporty (soccer and softball mainly, but she'll chase any ball you throw for her), and just a generally great chick to know. Oh, and remember girls, she IS taken, so fun-seeking FRIEND types only. You're not gonna get sex from either or both of us, so get your minds out of the gutter and write me back. Tell me why you think you'd make the perfect gal pal for my perfect gal. Who knows, you could actually make a new friend (or two).

Extra points for the rich (you could buy her drinks), the well-endowed (what can I say, she's a boob man!) and folks who don't take themselves too seriously, but have good hearts and don't mind listening to her blow off a little steam about the wifey now and then (C'mon, we all need someone who will tell us we're right and they're wrong, don't we? ;)

Oh, and P.S. she's not shy or illiterate or incapable of posting her own listing, I'm just a controlling bitch who thinks I have much better taste and will know the right friend for her when I find you.
