Ain't No Other Brother Cooking These Delicacies

suave parisian seeks naive american girl - 36 (Upper East Side)
Date: 2004-12-10, 3:45PM EST

Eventually, you get tired of trips around the globe, Upper East Side penthouses and expensive suits. I hail from France, and if anyone can get tired of having a willing Columbian model for a wife, it is I. My life bores me immensely, and purchasing a new car in the vulgar American fashion will do nothing for me; I have more automobiles than most men have underwear.

This is where you come in. I am seeking a young, impressionable girl, preferably hailing from the backwoods of this god-forsaken country, to become my mistress. I will provide you with a tasteful, well-appointed apartment at least 15 blocks from my own. I will take you to restaurants where you will have difficulty even pronouncing the appetizers properly and, every month, will whisk you away to some exotic location, where we will dine on expensive local delicacies and fall asleep to the sounds of the ocean. I will purchase expensive gifts for you, like handbags crafted from alligator skin and dresses crafted by the greatest designers in the world.

Of course, I expect you to accomodate me in every conceivable way. You must never question my judgment, and I will become extremely angry if you mention marriage. I love my wife and have no intention of leaving her. Also, keep in mind that I may become bored with you. Should this occur, be advised that I will have one of my many rich associates find you a synecure somewhere. I am a monster, but hardly heartless.

Cream of the Crop:

Apparently, girls are not proponents of the "cluster bomb" approach to Craigslist. Nevertheless, the simple fact that EVERY LAST RESPONSE was serious makes this, in my mind, a resounding success. At least I now know that, ten years from now, when I am rich and bored, there will be young, nubile women willing to degrade themselves for the opportunity to be my mistress. Or, as Toh says, "There are a lot of prostitutes out there."

interesting.
i will send you a picture from home tonight..
would love to meet for lunch tomorrow.
Me too. I assume you want me to pay?

thought your post was 'interesting'..
i'm an ex-model.. quit two years ago. never had the personality for it.
Some would argue you never had a personality.

i read your post.
i am new to this site, but i think you are the only man (on this site any
way) who could handle me.
it would be a mistake for us not to meet.
Handle you? If by "handle" you mean pay your bills, you're probably wrong.

I am a 20 year old American girl, currently living in Manhattan. En plus, je suis etudiante de francais. I loved your posting, and couldn't resist replying. I am 5'7", 117 lbs, athletic ( l like dance and yoga). Here are some pictures of me...hope to hear from you!
You are beautiful. Unfortunately, I am actually a college student living in Chicago with virtually no income. However, I am really French! Or half-French, but don't let that stop you.

So, when I read the craigslist posting I wonder if
this is someone's real life or a mockery for truly and
completely naive american girls. How many people fall
for this? If it is true thought, how many people dont
take it seriously and pass up this offer?
Apparently, no one. Everyone knows the French do things like this.

Please be advised that marriage would not interest me, especially in a strictly business relationship.
Yes, that's what I usually tell my clients.

And the real winner:
HI
