 A fried in need is a friend indeed.
I am not going to hide it or deny it, I am facing foreclosure. Are you?
If you think about it, if we pool together, we can save on house, either mine of yours, whichever it's better, we can co-own it, buy it back from the bank at a discount, and then once the market turns, we can sell it, make a lot of money, and we could go our own ways if we want to.
But why not trying to fall in love while we are roomies and co-owners?

I am a tall, long haired blonde, BBW, two great kids, gainfully employed in the beauty industry.

Sheesh.

I'm sure guys will be rushing to take up this deal. Skip the relationship, skip the marriage, skip the divorce -- just buy some gal a house. A "BBW" which is apparently Craigslist shorthand for a fat girl. With two of somebody else's kids (where's he?).

On the other hand, from what I've heard from women that have used Craigslist for dating, she's about to get a barrage of filthy and disgusting propositions. Complete with Johnson photos. Craigslist is a good way to buy a piece of used exercise equipment or get rid of a cheap car (I've done both) but I read the personals mostly for entertainment. And along come ads like this that remind me how sad the whole online-dating enterprise really is.  

This isn't the most mercenary ad I've seen by a long shot, nor is it the most hopeless.
