Two Women Demand Ivy League 'Fall Boyfriends' on Craigslist
Autumn is upon us, and that means one thing: Cuffing season has begun, that time of year when single people plan for colder weather by finding a boyfriend or girlfriend with whom to generate body heat. Think of bears preparing for hibernation.
This year, two women, refusing to take a chance in bars or on dating apps, have made a public play for the most elite “Fall Boyfriends” in a Craigslist post that appeared in the “rants and raves” section of personal ads.
Reads the post: “2 smart, funny, attractive girls each looking for a fall boyfriend with chill group of bro friends, now is the time you must start dating someone in order to spend the holidays together/go on ski trips/have a NYE kiss.”
In addition to “Ivy league preferred,” criteria include a wardrobe stocked with brand names that thrive in the Hamptons and certain areas of Manhattan (Murray Hill): “Barbour coat, Half-Zips (at least 3, please send pics if possible), Ray-Bans (Wayfarers or Clubmasters preferred, but open to other styles), loafers, Patagonia vest(s), Vineyard Vines.”
Basically, if you’re the type of person who could shell out $1 million to get into the country’s most elite colleges, you’re also a perfect candidate for Ivy League boyfriend until spring 2015.
The women don’t mention their educational bona fides or whether they’re on the League, but they offer the following:
1. They like to watch football: “aka me getting drunk while you watch football, and you thinking it’s so adorable when I wear jeans and Converse to the bar and get blackout in your team’s hat”
2. Photography is their passion. They enjoy, in particular, “taking selfies in Patagonia vests/taking selfies while doing all activities #fall #boyfriendweather.”
3. Cooking, too: “Instagramming dish [that we cook] with captions such as “Fall night with my babe @yourhandle *heart emoji all the fall emojis*”
4. Friendship is their sacred rite. “It’s kinda essential for the two boys to be friends so me and my friend can blackout together and I won’t get bored.”
Happy hunting, and remember: Winter is coming.
