kaylan Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 'Fall Boyfriend' Craigslist Ad Helps Women In Their Search For Seasonal Romance I saw these women from the story on the news today and I just rolled my eyes during their interview. I said to myself "imagine the uproar in social media if two men were thrown on national tv to talk about an ad they placed trying to cherry pick a good girl after sleeping around during the summer?" Seriously, the laundry list of demands from the college he attended, right down to the wardrobe really bugged me. But the thing is, I know there will be dudes trying to get with these ladies anyways. So I really have to wonder how many girls actually plan their summers out to hook up, and then settle in with a good boyfriend type in the colder months.
d0nnivain Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Back to school often brings relationship changes. The end of summer flings. Somebody going off to college & the one left behind freaking out. For some people this is more the beginning of the new year then NYE 1
pteromom Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Never heard of anything like this. Yes, sometimes people like to have summer flings while on vacation, etc. But to be calculating to the point where you then look for a "fall boyfriend" when you are done playing around? Nope.
leavesonautumn Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 I've never heard of this either. Sounds pretty ridiculous depending on the age of the person doing it or their stage in life. Wanting to hook up and have flings in the summer makes sense but to be that demanding is silly. However, the women in the article actually admit to it being a joke.
leavesonautumn Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Point remains. Based on the discussion I saw on tv, some women do this. And also I couldnt see dudes being allowed on tv to discuss the same sort of satire without being lambasted. Either way, I felt it was in poor taste. Well, men go on TV and do all sorts of things that are offensive or don't make sense to women. It would be pointless in me even posting anything or giving an example because it's ridiculous to think that men don't do similar things. Not really sure how this is something entirely on women. It was satire, not an entire article bashing men. 1
GemmaUK Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 The ad in the OP was a joke. However, on a serious note I think this does actually happen...that people step up with looking for someone that is. Certainly happens on OLD! The same thing happens the first few weeks in January and then also from about mid March or April too. As for the other link where a guy wanted someone for the holidays only - that is a pretty common occurance. I've had quite a few mails from men in the US and Canada who joined a UK dating site as they were going to be over here for a 2 week holiday. One of them I remember (and in his first mail too) was also looking for somewhere to stay while he was here!
Candy_Pants Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Of course I look for tall boyfriends . 1
Diezel Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Anyone who thinks that it doesn't happen at ALL is pretty naive. You don't see the upswing of people jumping into relationships the week before NYE all the way up until February 14th? It happens.
Backbreaker Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) I look for fall boyfriends. Well..... Someone who just swoons me away. Someone i can share my diary with. Perhaps the girls in the article were a bit too much, but i can definitely relate to finding the right guy to write in my diary about. Oh, and if he loves furry pets as much as i do, gahhhhh. I can't imagine. :love: Edited September 23, 2014 by Backbreaker
Supernatural Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) Women most definitely look for fall boyfriends! Most definitely. They want to go for strolls, pumpkin pie, corn mazes, dinner while the leaves fall, new warm get-up, cozy nights before winter. Think of all the festivities ahead these next months... Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas. Those are perfect for creating romance. Not hallmark early year romance. Wholesome romance! Around the end of summer, early September, women anchor down a guy for the winter months. This is a crucial time to 'get in there' for men. The next opening isn't until January. 4 months is the right amount of time to earn that great Christmas present, have a memorable NYE kiss, dress as fun costumes on Halloween, go to scary haunted houses, and start a new year off with a new found love. These are the entry months for daters when people have their eyes peeled. January March (around St. Pattys) June August September The no-go months February April November December And the remaining months are up in the air, people are in-different. "just another month". *Sigh* Edited September 23, 2014 by Supernatural
ExpatInItaly Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Never done it myself, nor have I ever heard of this in my life.
