The Craigslist Experiment I: M4W

Maybe I'm a dick. Whatever. It got THREE responses. Here are my ground rules for all future Craigslist Experiments:
* I will post all of the responses
* I won't post pictures, but I will put a notation if a picture was attached. If you read a response that you find really funny and want to see the picture, let me know.
* I will post no contact information to protect their identity.
* If they put a link to their Myspace page in their response, I will remove it (even though it may be tacky and ultra-funny).

This is the ad I put on Craigslist in the Men Seeking Women section. I attached a picture of a dude's foot in a sandal so that people would think there was a picture attached:

You + Me + Ankle Bracelet = FUN (27)

Let me say up front that I used to have a problem with stealing stuff. Usually it was small. To make a long story short, see the following equation:
Me + Neiman Marcus + Lawsuit + Settlement = Ankle Bracelet

I really am a wonderful person and am totally rehabilitated. As far as the ankle bracelet, I'm not confined to my home, but the judge required I wear an ankle bracelet in case I enter Neiman Marcus or any of the other co-plaintiffs' stores. It beeps sometimes, but you won't notice it after a few minutes unless we get too close to one of the stores I'm not allowed to enter (but I can totally wait outside while you shop).

YOU: You must like all things French. I'm a total Francophile. I totally love any movie with Audrey Tautou. Tell me you love the film Amelie and we might have ourselves a match made in heaven! You should be less than 6 feet tall. No exceptions. I *heart* nerds. I *heart* nonsmoking, college graduates with no children or eating disorders (haha). You love a good movie. You're not out of place in a club OR art gallery.

You're not too picky when eating, and enjoy a good meal. You are annoyed by processed foods, but can still enjoy them (like, I hate Twinkies but they taste so good!). You love organic and natural foods, but have trouble enjoying them sometimes (ie. sprouted wheat bread).

You're between 22 and 39 years old, and won't look like a hussy in front of my parents.

ME: I started my own marketing company that sells cutout life-size Jesus Christ promotional materials, usually for retail. For instance, if a store is having a sale, they might order a couple of cutout Jesus signs that say, "I have faith that these are the lowest prices in town!" or, "What would Jesus buy?" I work really hard and come home tired each day because I put a lot into my day: meeting with clients, creating new designs, working on production issues, going to the gym, etc. We're going through an especially busy time because we're about to come out with our Ghandi line ("These prices are low enough to fight for!"). It's actually a booming business and my schedule will probably get even busier. You might think it's crazy that I'm looking for a relationship when I'm so busy, but I feel that life is best when shared with others.

I'm not really religious, and hope you aren't either. I find it a major turn-off when people I'm dating force their faith on me.

I went to college at Eastern New Mexico University, but my roots are mainly here in Southern California. I love to travel, and can go pretty much anywhere (except the state of Wyoming (arrest warrant for something I didn't do, but that's a really long story--haha)). I enjoy cooking, going to concerts, and playing the banjo (it's a rockin' instrument!).

Send me a pic, and I'll send you one in return. If you want a response from me, write me a thoughtful and intelligent response. ;)
