Funny Craigslist Ads: Man Seeks Another Man to Break In His Flip-Flops

May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

Isn't it touching when two men work together for a common goal? Here, a very special request from one man to another that you'll just love.

One Craigslist poster has listed his need for a brah to break in his 'bows. Translation: He needs another guy to break in his Rainbow flip-flops in time to enjoy summer, because his feet are "totally soft from rockin' my Tods driving mocs all winter."

While I assume this is a well-written joke, come on. You've met this guy. We've all met this guy. And, particularly, you meet him in the summer. He is the basis for my previously documented disdain for men in summer. He exists during the winter, of course, but somehow, he multiplies in the summer so that everywhere you turn, there he is, in his flip-flops and polo, drinking beer and making loud, off-color jokes, and generally ruining all the nice outdoor bars. His other hobbies include: boats, talking about boats, and ranking women on a scale of 1 to 10. Thank goodness for me he refuses to go to Brooklyn, which is not, as he would say, "the boner." (I admit, that is a pretty funny way to describe a good thing.)

For as much as I don't enjoy this type of guy, I most certainly enjoy the attention to detail in this flawless Craigslist ad. Self-description? "McConaughey meets the guy you wish you were who walks out of Citi Bank HQ on a casual Friday." I'm laughing. Previous work experience required? "If you mention a Ralph Lauren shoe of any kind, especially Polo Sport, I'll know you went to SUNY or CUNY and you won't be considered." I'm crying. Preferred payment? "You need to be able to accept a credit card cause I want Starwood points for my Amex." I can't take it anymore.

Enjoy Belmont, bros.

Too funny, right?
