Have you guys ever looked at the love for sale section on Craigs List?
It is by far some of the best reads ever.
I wanted to share a funny one that one of you sent me this morning,
Heres a guy that basically is near 60 and he wants a young hot plaything to be at his beckon call.
I love men who cant deal with aging and expect some young hot woman to be totally turned onto them in all ways.
Give this a read and share with me any Craigs list experiences you may have had.
And read it all the way through and check out his code word at the end!!
It should have been sugar daddy!!!
Hello, I am seeking a pretty and slender, affectionate and special Latin female in her early twenties for friendship, love, and possibly marriage…..
I am fond of Latin people, their mentality, culture and emotional generosity. I lived in Spain for a long time, also in Mexico and Colombia…..Born and raised in Germany, I have some German earnestness and solidity, a Latin soul, and an optimistic Southern Californian mindset. I speak English and Spanish fluently (and a few other languages).
If you are dreaming of an unusual man, in all modesty here he is: I have traveled all over the world, am highly educated, open-minded, romantic, faithful and noble, with a very soft heart, stable values and deep feelings. I would like you to have the same human qualities. I will give you all my love, treat you with respect, and adore you with passion. I am divorced and totally independent. Being 58, I feel very young and enjoy a healthy lifestyle. I am 5 ft., 11in., 170 pounds and in excellent shape. I don’t have children and prefer that you don’t have either. But I like children and imagine that at some point I will have a family.
I am fascinated by languages and my hobby is my profession: I have my own language corporation in Los Angeles. My other interests include writing short stories and poems, reading, studying, thinking, meditating, and dreaming, traveling, psychology and personal growth, ethnic music from all over the world, especially from Latin countries, salsa, samba, flamenco, jazz and blues, outdoor activities by the beach and in the countryside, but also quiet hours at home, personal, totally candid conversations, and relaxed and intimate times with my love….and so much more….
I live in Southern California and in Germany….and am able to offer you an interesting and fulfilling life. I am totally independent, so we can live here or in Europe.
Let us reach our dreams! I hope for your friendly message (with photo)
P.S. I am not into virtual affairs, online chatting or endless texting. Our goal should be to exchange phone numbers and get together in person as soon as we feel comfortable with each other.
In order to avoid unwanted messages I would request that you include the code word LOVE in the subject line of your first message.
I will answer any message that includes the code word and your picture. THANK YOU!
Hehehehe, more than anything, the way he’s marketing himself ( which sounds too good to be true ) is so pathetic !
I found many online profiles this way.There’s not even one bad thing about these guys in their words, but then they leave huge hints like criminals do.They dictate terms like do only this to get my response, and they dictate the means of communication.
Apparently he needs a very young woman than him, also to dominate her totally, so she’ll be financially dependant on him, and won’t know how to protect herself from his stupid smartness.
He could have a grand daughter her age ! Yuck ! I’m not a fan of male or female cougars ! They suck !
My brother’s girlfriend was looking for a coffee table on craigslist, she opened the ad it said “Will trade a coffee table for a handjob” She couldn’t stop laughing. Btw, They took off the adult services on craigslist…
58 and he’s not even found a woman to start his family??? He’ll be dead by the time the babies even born. I don’t get it…Why not just put a hooker on the payroll. Makes way more sense to me.
Wow – my point of view here seems like it may be different to most others…. I say, good on him!!! Why not?
I have spent a long time living between here and Indonesia. A few of our friends have the Western husband who is older by ten and even up to nearly thirty years older. I did find it very uncomfortable at first however over time, these couples have become like any other couple… enjoying life, doing it tough (especially with the age gap and cultural differences), then choosing to do something about it, mostly choosing to be together and learning how to be in an intimate relationship.
The men do seem to go into it with a preconceived idea that these women will be more docile and submissive. While the women on the whole seem to think marriage to an older Western man is an easy ride out of their current situation (which they imagine is materially poor)… both always get a shock – any relationship requires work!!!
Any relationship can be wonderfullly rewarding when you both choose daily to be present in it (and learn how to be in a relationship).
Haha, looks like the man is bragging about himself and overselling himself also. No mystery for the woman to find out about him.
I find the missed connections quite entertaining.
Cathy, have to dis-agree you on this one.A person should start a relationship for good reasons, not ‘coz someone will be submissive or ‘coz someone will provide financially, even if she’d prefer men her age, otherwise !
This is not going to be a relationship, but a business contract kinda thing. Sure, they may work towards it, but that work will be huge, huge and very huge !
Relationships should be easy, not add more and more pain to life.Ofcourse every relationship will have down times, but this sorta thing will never go up.
Hence, I agree with Bob !
Any man who thinks he wants a woman who will obey his every order, so he can throw some money at her and show his power is kidding himself and the girl, if he thinks it’ll be a “relationship”. Same goes for a girl who wants it the easy way, marry a rich,old man so she can enjoy her life without sweating too hard. It’ll only be a contract type of thing and it’s doomed to fail. Failing doesn’t mean they’ll divorce or stay apart, failing means they suffer terribly in the ‘relationship’ and they’ve to work toooo hard at it.
A relationship to me is one where there’s respect,trust and communication.ALL Three.If one is missing, other two would also fall apart.
You’re a hypocrite, David. On the one hand you teach how older men can get younger women, now you bite the hand that feeds you and say 58 year-old guy/younger women don’t mix.
Let me tell you, I have had plenty of 20 something women hit on me and I’m 62, they can’t believe my age, I have to pull out my I.D.. My last three gfs were 15 years yonger than me.
I was thinking about buying your product but you can just shove it.
Or maybe you will man up and retract any advice that helps older guys land younger women.
I doubt it.
P.S.: you won’t have the nerve to print this, but that’s OK, I took a screen cap and sent it to friends who I have formerly told you were cool. You just lost about $5,000 in business. Karma’s a bitch.
See not only did i print this but i am going to reply.
1st you post without your name so that is pretty gutless.
And I was once cool and now i say something that you twist around and I am no longer cool in your book?
A 60 year old man does not belong with a 22 year old woman….no maybe for a night but cmon long term its got almost zero shot at working.,
Did i say 15 years was too young?
Never said that those were your words not mine.
My example above was 60 and 22.
So you decided to twist my words and throw this back at me.
As for the so called business i missed from posting this cmon now……5000 dollars of business missed because you emailed people telling them i was no longer cool.
Is this high school?
Are you really 60 because you are acting like a kid here.
Read the blog.
Dont twist my words and feel free to post a comment again.
Wow, Cathy J I always love your positive attitude on all your comments, but I’m going to have to disagree. This man’s expectation are too specific. His detail of his “fantasy” woman is well, just that, a fantasy!! If he would have said I’m looking for someone young or someone very young at heart that would have changed the whole vibe of his post. Without that, it’s just plain creepy!!!! What do you think?
I like most of what you have to say David. At your best, you’re very inspiring; however, I’ve noticed that many of those things you say are not consistent with other, often more positive, things you say.
That’s not all that unusual since a lot of people contradict themselves including myself, although I have always made an effort not to since noticing the tendency in others and how much it irritated me. It can also muddle whatever useful larger message someone may have to communicate.
You’re recent blog on people thinking that something is too good to be true, compared to this blog about the Craig’s list love seeker is a case in point .
I realise that there are likely better ways to acheive his objective (even a subscription to “Dream marriage.com might stand a better chance of success), but the poor schmuck is doing the only thing he can think of to get the kind of life and woman he desires.
I don’t know that you’re being consistent with a lot of your other more positive material about pursuing the lind of life one desires, if you disparage the guy for taking the only course of action he can think of.
Of course the odds of him forming a successful long term relationship with a woman who is so much younger are not great; but is that any reason to not try? Moreover, can it be said with absolute certainty that such a relationship won’t work?
I don’t know if it’s helpful for you to deliver very inspirational messages about trying to obtain what you want out of life and living fully, blocking out monkey chatter and concerns about what others think on the one hand, and then deriding someone when they attempt to do that brcause it doesn’t fit with what “you” believe is acceptable or probable.
I suppose you could point out to us what you think such a person is doing wrong to acheive his objectives and why you believe that those objectives are unlikely: but you contradict and undermine a lot of what you have to say if you ridicule a person’s desires and disparage whatever attempts that person makes to achieve those desires. Desires which could merely be a longing for beauty and companionship in what may otherwise be a bleak and lonely existence.
Just a thought.

What is this man doing wrong.
He is what people call an ageist.
If an amazing woman who was 50 presented to him he would look at her and pass.
I have lived in LA and NYC my whole life and this type of man is not looking for real love he is looking for trophy love.
Real love cannot be ordered like a pizza pie.
I have worked with a ton of these type of men and everytime they meet a woman that always want to know her age.
I have seen it so many times they are all excited about a woman and the second they find out how old the woman is they run if its not the super young age that they want
Also think for a second and really read what he wrote.
It is all very superficial.
What i teach is how to connect deep and real with people and this is why i spent my time talking about this subject,
This is not real this is all based on looks and fantasy,
People like him use c list as there only hope because in day to day life the fantasy women that they crave ignore them everyday,
hope this clears it up
David is right–these 60s guys dating 15+ years younger are hypocrites. If you cannot date someone born the same year, look in the mirror-beauty and youth by association or proxy don’t exist, except in your deluded mind. I love thephrase “younger women approach me”. Yeah right, in this youth worship culture,they bypass their peers because they want an uncle type–if he has money.
