I realize there are decent folks using Craigs List - but this one is a perfect example of the apparent scum that's ALSO out there.
(I have edited out the standard boring stuff, where he works, what he does...etc.)

Hey Ladies,
I'm looking for someone attractive, intelligent (college educated and with a job of some sort), with no kids, not married (single), 20 to 30 years old and fun
This seems to be way too much to ask for in ST. Louis. Where are the good looking intelligent women, that are single and want to have a good time?? Also, by this point in life, I think men and women should NOT live with their mommy and daddy. I probably sound really mean and/or superficial here, I can be sometimes, but generally I'm shy, quiet, pleasant, and I like to have a good time with ladies
I can't stand the posts by women here stating they're what every man wants in bed, and then they tell me later that they're "over 160 lbs"! That's just disgusting to me! Maybe I enjoy company around people that take care of themselves and their bodies, physically and mentally?? If you're of the correct weight for your body type, that's a plus, checkout and google any "BMI calculator" to see if you're of the correct weight for your body. Some people might call this "skinny," but I call it the correct weight, not overweight or obese like the average disgusting american in the USA lately.
I'm also looking for someone that is NOT taking drugs of any kind, besides the OCCASIONAL coffee, wine, beer, antihistamine or aspirin (alcoholic substances are tolerable to me if you do it socially at like clubs and parties, not alone at home on a regular basis). Hopefully you're either not smoking, or seriously considering quitting sometime very soon, and are serious about that.
I'm a 24 year old, orignally from st. louis, white (lately I like to say "euro-american"), non-smoking, non-worshiping-presbyterian, non-drinking except socially, 5'10", 172 lbs (restarting my workout routiene after a fractured leg) guy, that is single, available, never married with no kids, and fun….
Do you have what it takes?? Ladies with pics get faster responses.
Some might call me shallow to post things like this, but I think dating someone that's married, fat, ugly, with kids, that lives with mommy and dady, and is uneducated, and unemployed is something I'm just not interested in.
************************************************************************************
Me again - I'd also like to note that this guy has already generated several nasty responses from women in this dating category. I can't see why. He sounds like such a charm. (sarcasm)

Must be Patrick's brother in St. Louis!

There's a guy in my city who wants a woman for an ongoing rel'nship based solely upon sex. He doesn't want to hear about your day and he doesn't want to discuss his.
LOL!!!
Ya know, Does he have to be so insulting? That's what really gets me about this kind of profile.
I know! Even back in the day when I *was* at a "correct" weight, I never would have gone out with someone who had an attitude like his!

This will probably surprise nobody, but I don't really see what's so "scummy" about this guy.
He's WAY too blunt, and has next to nothing for tact, but what's so bad about what he wants?
He has a firm idea of what he wants in body type. He doesn't want a supermodel; he just wants someone who's "of correct weight for their height". Nothing wrong with that.
He has a firm idea that he wants someone who is intelligent (although "college educated" does not necessarily equate to "intelligent"). Nothing wrong with that.
He wants someone with a job and who doesn't live with their parents. Nothing wrong with that.
He doesn't want someone who has children. Nothing wrong with that.
He wants someone who is attractive. That's extremely variable, of course, and there's nothing wrong with that.
And he doesn't want someone who uses drugs or smokes, and who only drinks occasionally in a social setting. Certainly nothing wrong with that.
It appears to me that this guy's biggest sins are that he doesn't post much at all about himself, that he comes across as overly demanding (until you read these "demands"- none of which are particularly unreasonable), and that he dares to call a spade a spade and point out that the average American is overweight or obese and he doesn't want that.
Well, he might not get many dates, but to call him "scum" is a bit much. If we are to take him at his word, he's single, he doesn't smoke or drink, he's in pretty good shape (5'10" and 172# with a broken leg is pretty good compared to the average) and he is "fun".
He doesn't sound like much fun to me, but he's a heck of a lot better than the charming, witty, smooth-talkers who turn out to be married drunken drug using player types cheating on their wives.
I look at it this way- if it were reversed, and this was a female posting her wishlist of demands about a guy, and they were equivalent to this dude's list, I probably wouldn't email her but I certainly wouldn't be offended or call her "scum".
>>There's a guy in my city who wants a woman for an ongoing rel'nship based solely upon sex.<<
Only one guy like that? :)
Well, at least he's honest! LOL
It's a shame that there's a lot more men who are like that than there are women, but don't kid yourself- there's women who're like that too.
(It's a shame because if there were rougly equal numbers, the rest of us wouldn't be bothered by the "no strings just want sex" people.)
Can't really understand it myself, but if it floats their boat, more power to them. I just hope they stay away from me and my friends who don't like like that.
It's the use of words like "disgusting" in describing women he considers overweight that make him scum.

That's exactly why I would never in a million years date a guy like this. Personally, I'm in the normal range on my BMI, I'm employed, don't use drugs, etc., but when a guy refers to other human beings as "ugly," "disgusting," and so forth, that's when he loses me and a good portion of the female population as well. With that sort of an attitude, he can figure on being single for a very long while.
There's being honest and diplomatic, and there's being a jerk. This guy comes across loud and clear as a jerk.
