Chris and H have broken up. Again.
I asked Chris if their relationship had been a job, what kind of job would it have been.
Chris: It was a lot like waiting tables for someone who wasn't sure what they wanted to order.
He seems to be doing okay, not as sad as he was last time they broke up (no plans to head out into the desert). He posted a 'Men Seeking Women' ad on Craigslist and already has a date lined up.
Woody: You found a girl on Craigslist?
Jarecki: For how much?
His Craigslist ad was titled, "Attractive, Partially Damaged Male in Search of Rebound - 29." Within a day it's already been flagged by Craigslist users and deleted from the site.

By the way, here's a copy of his original Craigslist posting (he's a very good sport for letting me use this):
"Two years ago, I met a girl who changed my life. About a week ago, she changed it again. I tried sex with a stranger, but that just left me feeling hollow. This leads me to believe I'm missing that sense of deep, abiding love—and love isn't something you can replace with freaky, drunken, random sex. Love is its own, special, beautiful thing… so I need the one-night stand version of that.
God willing, somewhere out there, a woman in this town needs the very same thing.
Here's what I'm thinking…
No two people are more prepared to leap into something embarrassingly co-dependent and temporary as the recently uninvolved. So let's see if you and I are a match for that kind of self-delusion.
Me: Active, athletic-type build (but without much real athletic talent), at 5'10, 165 lbs, and a very short month-and-half shy of 30. I like movies, books, inappropriate jokes, and saving the world (I feel very guilty for not recycling, but I _always_ throw things away in trash cans). I also like sex. I haven't had much of it in awhile—my romance has been in a year-long decline—but it's nice. I think I was good at it.
You: Pretty, funny, and at least superficially interested in the things I enjoy. Desperation is a plus. Also, I won't mind if you are rich (but that is not even remotely required). As for age, well, I don't really care. Older, younger, same as me… it's all good. Just be able to drink legally.
Now, if that doesn't sell you, to sweeten the deal here, I've got a queen-size Tempurpedic bed. That's right, the Swedish sleep system. And you can spend your nights in luxurious comfort, beside me, happily working toward our future…
Unless one of our exes calls, then all bets are off.
(Your pic gets you mine.)"

That's the thing. He needed to put the ad in the "casual encounters" section to not be flagged. There it would have been safe.
That, or the "gig" section.

I would have posted in casual encounters, except unfortunately that's the opposite of what I was looking for.
Gigs however might be perfect.
