A guidebook to her heart ... ... or a whole list of dealbreakers?
It's like the job application from hell.

No wonder she hasn't found herself in a successful relationship. She's crazy, in an annoying way.

I am a single, free-spirted,

HAHAHAHA!

Looking at craigslist personals, sometimes I'm amazed that anyone anywhere ever gets laid at all.

Hehe, it's a spoof... but a deadly accurate one.

I think it's a kind of strategic error some fall into. Some guys will look through the ads and answer selectively, but some guys will just spam every ad in the hope of getting some action.

So, annoyed at all the inappropriate responses, they go for ever-tighter lists of restrictions, not realising that they're actually filtering out everyone except the guys who reply to every single ad...

I thought it was a joke but I wasn't completely sure.

I had to look up "420 positive".

Actually, I really respect this poster. She says in the last paragraph that she is willing to hear from people who match SOME of these requirements. She's not asking for all.

It's really obvious that she wrote these requirements based on past peeves. I think it's refreshing to see someone put this stuff right out there. Whoever dates her will know her preferences, and perhaps be mindful of them because she came right out at the beginning. No passive aggression in this lady.

Lori, I had to look it up too and then felt like the old out-of-touch dork that I am when I read what it was.

Ha! I like this part:
-name must not begin with an R, a J, or a B (Js are negotiable; Rs are not. Bs should consider that if they treat a cat nicely, it will respond accordingly; but if you scare it by approaching too fast, of course it will attack)

-must agree to watch "The Hills" on MTV on Sundays but hate that bitch Heidi, she is everything wrong with womankind

What!!! Heidi rules! Guess I'm not her one true love.

Wow, too bad it's a spoof. Otherwise, this would have been perfect.

Did she forget to specify an age range or did I miss it?

Reading this was akin to:

- walking face-first into a wasp's nest
- having tinnitus
- wishing someone would take the annoying metal thingy out of the dryer that's making that irritating rhythmic sound

She forgot one also -

The man she's hoping for must not only love cats, but be open to the manic, pleading yowl that can only come from a cat who's trapped with a woman this completely nutbar.

She would have be buy me the fullblown Adobe Acrobat before one stitch of my clothes comes off.

I'm sure there's a man out there who will fulfil every one of those criteria. Unfortunately, it's probably her brother.
