The "Wanted: One Male Bed-Filler", lady speaks! LOL, and she left a comment on my post about her 'ad' on craiglist (which as it turns out was a joke):

"Mary said...
Glad you liked my ad, but it was only a joke.

Why do so many guys think it's real!? Ha!"

Next time, I'll make sure to say that I'm joking and not serious about really applying. Although, I thought I made that pretty obvious in my post.

Hey there Mary, thanks for dropping by and for leaving your comment. I too dug around and found your blog and this post of yours:

"I'm totally inclined to check up on suspicious behavior. Wondering where things were coming from, I googled "wanted one male bed filler" to see where my ad had ended up. I mean, my Peru article went off to all sorts of weird places...

Upon googling, my bed-filler ad ended up on a blog (listed on Oct 19th) called Limberthing which calls itself "The best, the worst and the weirdest of online dating." Their take on it was that of furniture... um, alright.

Then comes the random blogger (posted Nov 14th). The dude wants to apply. I'm still flabbergasted at how many men wanted the job...?

Then there's the hater forum known as reddit.com

And this page.

If only I got paid for the exposure."

What flabbergasts me is that 'Mary' was surprised at how many men applied for the job. I mean come on, what did she really expect to happen? You put an ad like this on craigslist and you're flabbergasted at the responses? I'm surprised (and flabbergasted) that she didn't get a few women applying for the position as well (or maybe she did? LOL).

If I were interested in a 'bed-filling' position posted by an anonymous lady, then I may as well have taken up the anonymous lady who made me an offer (over the phone) to give me, if I remember correctly, a chocolate and vanilla tattoo! Don't ask, it's a long story and I'm not telling. :-)

Call me old fashioned (and crazy like a fox), but whatever happened to meeting a girl face to face, having a nice conversation, going out for a drink, then later on, maybe a dinner and a movie and letting it develop from there? Oh shit. I forgot, this is the 90's, not the 40's or 50's. Heck, it's not even the 90's, it's the 00's.

Boy am I getting old. After telling folks this, most people I know then tell me: "Amit, you haven't even seen a star pitch yet," or some variation thereof.

LOL :-)
