A colleague of mine pointed out this Craigslist posting to me. Doesn’t it make you squirm?
“Well educated and handsome gentleman — sophisticated world traveler — is seeking one special girl to mentor during the coming school year.
“Our time together would involve meeting one evening each week (while school is in session) for educational pursuits, companionship and social engagement. In return, you will receive a stipend which will allow you to fully enjoy the college experience. As the term progresses, fine dining, entertainment and weekend travel will be possible.
“Please contact me with a photo, some details about yourself and any questions or concerns you might have. This is a legitimate opportunity for one special girl - please do not “flag”.
“Note: Be sure to write the word ‘ingenue’ in the subject line of your reply.”
