No strings attached fun?

Posted on August 25, 2008 by sandrakim

I love looking through Gumtree to see what shit people put up there. Anything from jobs, selling furniture, tickets, pets, etc. In fact I found both my kitties and nearly a flat mate there.Today I was looking at their new redesigned site and noticed that they had a dating section. Curious, I scrolled through some ads (reading the funnier ones to my flat mate) and found this one:

All married ladies you bored,neglected,caring and appreciation?

Ad ID: 70090399
Visits: 2

I’m a married guy thats very appreciative, caring,great sense of humur, understanding, respectful, very discreet, indepentant, so no gold digger, like to and can spoil rotten, loving, can give great sensual massage, good listener, openminded, down to earth,easy going and would allways see to your needs first and see that your needs get the highs priority.

I’m available daytime also because I’m self empolyed. Would be really wonderful to meet with you for coffee or anything that you fancy that you missing in your life.

Lets make contact for very discreet, mutual and relaxing times.

The love rat

Now I am really sorry to point this out. But the guy says he is understanding, respectful, loving, etc. Except not to his wife clearly. What sort of creep posts an ad like this? Lets just say I was looking for some no-strings-attached fun there is not a chance in hell that I would pick this guy.

He gets 2 points for saying he is married (which I am sure most of them don’t). But does he think that there are people out there stupid enough not to see the hypocrisy of his statement. I wonder how many replies someone like this would get. He also directs his plea at married ladies, which makes sense because if you are both married you both have something to lose.

Some stats

The advert was only posted today and has only had 2 views so far (which obviously does not equate to contact). Some stats for the site are:

Nearly half of the adverts are for casual relationships. I can understand the girls-seeking-girls and guys-seeking-guys sections as I feel that it is probably more difficult to find a partner of the same sex especially if you are not quite sure you are gay. If I was gay, I would find it less nerve racking hitting on a girl online than, lets say, in a club if I hadn’t had any relationships with women yet.

I can also understand more mature people finding love online (my mom keeps begging me to set her up on an online dating website) because they might not be as social as younger people who frequent bars, clubs, and meet a lot of people at university. But it just makes me feel dirty and sad to see people asking others to help them blatantly cheat on their partners.

Dude get a backbone and divorce your poor wife or seek help
