new york craigslist > manhattan > personals > missed connections
no offense, but im a really good looking black guy, and you're...just not. no offense.....you said hello to me as tried to stare my way out of it, hope you find someone.
WELL. This ad stood out to me because the poster seems to have completely misunderstood the concept of the personal--it's used to find love (or more often than not in the case of Craigslist, sex, or someone to pee on) but NOT to publicly turn-down someone who has cruised you on the street. There's something pathologically egotistical about such a post--the assumption that said street-cruiser will be searching the Missed Connections section for you, for instance. I would venture that secure, normal people do not feel the need to post on Craigslist about it every time someone they aren't into appears to be into them (I certainly don't, and I'm not even that secure or normal). Also, a note to PostingID 1294653953--"no offense" once means it will offend whomever it's directed at, but let's them know you are at least aware of that and possibly apologetic--"no offense" twice just means you're a douchebag.
