I'd like to meet a firefighter.

I find it odd that I don't know any firefighters.  I just feel like I should know one.  So I posted this ad on Craigslist.

I'd like to meet a fire fighter please.

I'd like to meet a fire fighter between the ages of 24 and 34.  Preferably one from up north with a thick Bostonian accent.  

I am 24, and I look great.  I have a college degree and a job.  I'm hilarious, and I love to drink, so please respond if you fit the above description. 

I will need to see some sort of pay stub to prove that you're actually a fire fighter.  Also, please send photos

Thanks!

Of course, I would not really feel comfortable meeting some random person from Craigslist, but I just thought it was funny, and I wanted to see if anybody would respond.

Well, in a matter of hours I had like 15 replies.  Most were either boring or perverted.  One was very hateful.  Somebody was really pissed that I asked to see a pay-stub, and said that I'm making women look bad and that they hope the guy will punch me in the face with his thick Boston accent.  Gesh...I didn't know people took the Craiglist personals so seriously.  Take a joke, people.

One response was my favorite.  The guy attached a photo, but I feel like I should let him remain anonymous.  Here's what he said:

Hi,
 
Nice to meet you here. I am [name] 25 M india currently working in Raleigh as communications engineer and living near by [location] at a hotel . I am new to Raleigh feeling bored in week ends i lke to go out and party in week ends and may be like to be with you in home if you like and you can stay at my hotel room too.
 
I am 5.6 medium built ,kind honest looking for real friendship and more :)- if you like me :)-really i liked your post

i am basically from india if intrsted pls do call me @ 919 ***-****, we can meet if you are intrested .
 
I do not have car it will be gr8 if you have an car :)- looking forward to meet you darling

My favorite part is when he asks if I have a car.  Plus, I find it very endearing that this guy has offered to let me stay at his hotel without even seeing a photo of me...and being so forthcoming with his whereabouts and phone number.  Now, that's having a big heart.  I don't know if he is really as lonely as he says though.  In the photo he attached, there was a bed in the background with, what appeared to be, somebody's feet hanging off it.  I just hope he does find somebody to hang out with.  Oh!  I just realized that this guy isn't even a firefighter.  I must have skimmed over the communications engineer part.  Hmm.  Can't blame a guy for trying...I DID make myself sound pretty appealing in the ad.

Anyways, I took my post down a few minutes after gathering all my responses.  I didn't want to flood my inbox with porn and spam...or other further emails full of hateful insults! 

I guess my venture into the world of CL Personals was not a success, and I am positive that I will not take that route the next time I'm trying to meet a man in uniform.  I think I'll just loiter around the fire house up the street from me...or maybe I'll put my shih tzu in a tree, and call them to get her down.
