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 :-)

"Wanted: One Male Bed-Filler
Date: 2007-09-16, 11:58PM PDT
I’m just another busy person always on the go. I recently moved to a new place and bought a fantastic bed that I love. While so caught up in my day to day life, I have not had time to develop a romantic relationship lately. But when I come home at the end of the day and get in bed, it feels very empty.
I have thus decided to take applications for a bed-filler.
This is NOT a sex thing. If anything, it might be more appropriate to post this in the housewares section… but anyways.
Me:
-25 years old, straight single female
-5’8”, blond, hazel eyes, thick/curvy
-often restless/occupied when I get in bed; in need of soothing, relaxation
My bed:
-1 full sized bed, located in nice room in nice basement suite
-clean sheets
-2 new pillows for sleeping – none of those annoying throw pillows
-1 blue fleece blanket decorated with reindeer (don’t ask)
-room temperature kept cool as to facilitate snuggling (see below)
I require:
-one straight, single man
-between the ages of 25 and 30 years old
-minimum 6 feet tall, 6’2” is better, 6’4” is most desireable and also the maximum height sought
-must practice good hygiene, smell pleasant and regularly manscape if his body hair is excessive in volume
-piercings and tattoos to be considered on individual basis
-must enthusiastically cuddle, snuggle and spoon me
-must NOT scratch himself excessively in the morning and NEVER Dutch-oven me
-must limit alcohol intake to 2 beers on any night he is acting as bed-filler
-must seek medical consul if he consistently snores when not drunk, sick
-should occasionally play with my hair
What the successful applicant receives:
-the satisfaction of helping me sleep better
-sleeping with a girl who’s hair always smells nice
-free dream interpretation in the morning (just a weird gift I have)
Applicants who can demonstrate ESP skills, thus knowing which nights and at what times I need my bed-filler without my explicit request, will be given priority in the short listing phase. Amusing and/or insightful pillow talk may be rewarded with kisses or tea (to be decided at the discretion of the bed-filler).
Thanks and good luck!"Labels: craigslist, funny, life
