Craigslist is running a legalized prostitution ring. I've suspected this for months but now, now I'm sure of it.

Every other ad in the Men Seeking Women section involves an older gentleman promising to "take care of the whims and wishes of a college co-ed." I was more than a little disturbed by these postings so naturally I decided to post an ad of my own.

My CL ad titled "I Want My Sugar Daddy" reads:

Me–22, 5′10, brunette, a delight to be around
You–over 40, successful, knows how to show a girl a good time

This can be beneficial for us both. Let me know if you're up to the challenge.

Within ten minutes of going live, there were 15 emails in my inbox. Here's a choice few:

Hi,

I'm interested in the ad you placed and would love to be of help. Let me start by telling you a bit about myself. I am a generous and successful male looking for a someone to pamper and spoil. I would like to meet someone who is bright, articulate and playful. I'd like to spend relaxed time enjoying your company. Please tell me about yourself. You will find me to be a gentleman. If possible, please send me a description of your appearance or a picture. I am sure we can work out and arrangement which will be mutually satisfying to the both of us. Looking forward to your response and to meeting you soon.

Mutually satisfying…I like?

Liked your ad. I’m 49, single (no kids). very successful (had a rewarding career on Wall St). At 49, you might consider me too old for you. Plz consider:

1. Physically, I’m in great shape (work out 4-5 times);
2. Mentally, I’m sharp as a tack. Finish the hardest crossword puzzles in minutes. In pen.
3. Emotionally, I have the spirit of a 12-year old boy.
4. Mathematically, if you average my chronological age (49) with my internal clock (of about 25), you end up with a blended average of 37 years old. Just right, I’m sure you’d agree.
5. I love spoiling the special woman in my life. You sound like you could use some spoiling.

I’ve recently returned to NYC after years out of town, and had some amazing experiences I’ll tell you about. I love smart, funny, challenging women. I love (and collect) art, music, dance, travel, great restaurants, loud clubs and quiet, intimate times.Let’s meet for a drink—who knows? Here’s a pic in a more formal moment. I know-pretty ridiculous, but the only one I have on-line. I promise not to dress this way when we meet. If interested, let me know and send a pic.
Richard

Hmm–Richard sounds nice but what about….

Mark D–you make an interesting offer.

hello there.

Aim to please, huh?

Nice ad. I think I might be what you are looking for perhaps …
… I am a handsome, confident, Ivy-educated, adventurous, athletic, West Village residing financier with a mischievous grin and a rogue's charm. I peruse CL for fun on occasion and, in the midst of doing that just now, saw your ad and it caught my eye. I am ideally interested in meeting an intelligent, sophisticated, stylish, feminine woman who has her own life, but who is looking to meet a very successful, high powered man who will spoil her totally rotten. Interested?

I LOVE being spoiled totally rotten! Especially by rogues!

I also received a couple of responses that were not so encouraging of trying to find me a sugar daddy.

You are a grown woman I suggest you buy your own shoes and advertise under Erotic Services like a proper Ho would. You are a prostitute. Get over it.

Oops.

After reading through a plethora of these responses, especially the ones from MARRIED MEN, I have decided that there is a reason women don't trust men. I placed this ad pretty late at night too so that means these pervs were just perusing the internet late night, one window open to Craigslist and the other SororitySluts.com.

At first it was funny that I got so many responses. but upon further thought I don't think it's as funny. Just mostly disturbing now. Still, I don't know–that message from Richard was pretty intriguing. And I've always been one for dating guys with salt and pepper hair.
