I hate room-hunting.

Oh, give me a home,
Where the buffalo roam...


Ah yes, everyone's favorite way to spend their time: begging strangers for a place to live. Even better? Trying to convince strangers over the internet that you are, in fact, a female like you claim to be.

Here's the latest one:
yeah , I'm still looking roomat
I'm singel guy looking easy going female just not smocking
I'm easy going too
thanks
Rasul
The Request:
Do you have time to show it tomorrow or next week?
Thanks,
Ali
The Doubt:
fristival are you female?
I'm looking girle roomet.
thanks
The Reassurance:
Yes, I am -- what is your reason for wanting a female roommate?

The Incredulity:
just like live with girle I'm comfortable with female.
But , your name is Ali !!? it is guy name and Arabic name!!!!?
if you are really girle
please sent me your pic and your # , then I will give you call
fore see place
thanks
The Sass:
Ali can also be a girl's name. For me, it's short for Aleza. But it can be short for Alison, Alexandra, and Allysha.

Why would I bother lying about being a girl?? You would probably figure it out when we met if I weren't a girl.

The Attempted Saving-of-Face-Upon-Realization-that I-Still-Need-a-Damn-Place-to-Live:
My phone number is 613-228-**** (I'm staying with a friend, so it's not my voice on the answering machine)
My cell number is 506-878-****.

Seeing the place tomorrow afternoon.
The sweet smell of desperation!

Wow, that guy has the worst spelling ever! He seems super sketchy based solely on that, so since it will lead to much better stories, you have to go with that place

He wants a "girlie" roommate? Beware. Possible weirdo.
