I posted an add on Craigslist and this was an actual response I got...its pretty good... worth the read ( I think) Hello sir, I read the short story about the place on Craigslist and am interested in the room. There was a lot of pros and cons, dos and donts, strict rules and loose guidelines. I figured Id lay this email out in an easy way to quickly decide if Id be a good fit for you and your place: Where we match up You go to happy hour? Ive done that too! MMA gym? I actually compete in amateur boxing (have since highschool) and am going to be fighting out of the 3rd street gym now that Ive moved to SF. Is your gym the 445? I considered joining them but theyre all kickboxing and Im pretty set in my ways as far as fighting style. Bocce ball? You cant be italian (my mothers maiden name is Leopardi) and grow up in Ohio and not play in the annual bocce tournaments. Lets caveat, I still suck - but Ive played a lot. Horseshoes? Did I mention Im from Ohio? Sports and fitness nut? I grew up in Cleveland - we have nothing else to do but watch sports. Im in! Fish? Im big into fresh water (trout, bass, perch, steelhead) but would love to know some spots - fresh or salt - to go out here. DOG?! I have a dog which Ive left with my old roomies in SoCal - a crate trained sweetheart boxer breed. I miss the guy. Stable job? Im an actuary and worked as one for over 5 years now. The move to SF was actually a promotion inside my company. Someone 27-35??? Im 29. Jackpot! Squashing a problem immediately? Completely good with that. Kind of goes without saying though with 2 guys, doesnt it? Either way, we should be fine especially since youre always going to be the one whos wrong. No heroin, meth, crack, or pills?? Ill avoid the jokes on this one - Ive never done or am willing to do these things. Clean? Check. Where we dont mesh (but its okay, I accept your flaws) PS4 huh? We all make mistakes. I have an Xbox 360 and Im sure theres still time to get you back on the right path. Foodie? I eat for sustenance, not flavor. Youll be leagues ahead of me on this. Love the Giants, Niners, Sharks, Bears, and Warriors??? There will be banter if they play the dominant forces of the Indians, Browns, Blue Jackets, Buckeyes, or Cavaliers!! Please refrain from making any LeBron jokes - thats not funny! Yoga? 420? No problems from me man (most my friends are super 420 friendly), I just dont or wont ever partake. Drama free, chill, laid back, awesome, hard-working, kind, nice, outgoing, down-to-earth, loyal, funny and friendly??? Damn - Im not chill. That a deal breaker? No dogs?? I may have left my little buddy in SoCal but are you sure this rule is firm? Hes a 70 lb crate trained 4.5 y/o boxer who spends his days playing with other dogs. I mean every day - a retriever every morning, a bordeaux every afternoon, and the dog park behind our SoCal place every evening. Hes down there with that community mostly because its better for him (and that community was really bummed that I may take him with me) but Id love to think about shuttling him between here and SoCal from time to time. Facebook? LinkedIn? Twitter? Instagram? MySpace? AIM? Yeah, no. Dont have any of those (though 2 of them are my clients right now). I can provide references from my former roommates/landlords if you like or answer any questions you have, but I dont have any intention of setting up any social media. Just not into it. Oh!! I do still have an AOL account though! Does that help?
