Letter to a Redhead

Greetings and salutations.

Those that are bored have many avenues to rid themselves of that boredom. Some will inevitably turn to reading personal ads to laugh at the absurdity of their desperation. Thus, I ran across an personal advert in a classifieds web site for an attractive young redhead. As she described herself in the title, she is indeed "cute." Please do not misunderstand; I am still very much devoted to Protector. However, I just could not understand why such an attractive young lady would find herself in need of turning to personal adverts, so I sent her an electronic message, which is posted below:

"Hi, I'm Karasu (I honestly do have a name, which I used, but am not posting here. Surely most of you already know who I am.).

I read your post the first day that you posted it, then I sat back for *calculates time* ....about 14 days and tried to figure out why you would possibly want to be in a relationship.
Now, granted, I'm one of the few guys that understands that men are infinitely inferior to women, but I just don't understand your reasoning. Guys (most of the ones that post on craigslist) usually turn out to be boys, honestly. That, and I've always seen boys as rude, selfish, unclean/unkempt, boisterous, and just plain ugly. The gay men usually aren't so bad, but hey, they're gay and don't often get in relationships with young ladies such as yourself.

I know that my reasons are biased, and for that, I'm sorry. But I also see that your advertisement is correct in that you are a rather attractive young lady. This also entices my curiosity as to why you feel that you should/need to rely on craigslist for a date/boyfriend. Surely there are plenty of guys at work or your university that hit on you to an annoying degree? Perhaps that is not your style. In that case, I find that some young ladies can turn to their friends to set them up with some nice guy (a.k.a. personal/casual networking).

Now, this is merely what I could think of. This may or may not be truthful, and I was hoping that you would be kind enough to enlighten me to your objectives with this post.
If not, then I appreciate you taking the time to read this e-mail anyway.

Have an enjoyable day, and best of luck with the ads,

Karasu"

Sometimes, personal adverts can be entertaining. I'm curious about the response, if I receive one.
