A friend of mine recently started offering yoga instruction, and placed a few ads on Craigslist to drum up business. One of her first responses to the ad came from Bob*, a reply so typical of the underlying oddity that wafts through Craigslist these days.
Hi Erin, here is my info. I am a 43 year old white male living in the Village. I practice yoga at home, 1-2 times per week. Recently my instructor left town, so I am looking for a new instructor. I had back surgery about 8 years ago, so I prefer gentle restorative yoga. Also, I am a nudist. So I prefer being nude during the session. My previous instructor was comfortable with me being nude and she joined me after a few sessions. Are you available for this type of yoga?*Names have been changed to protect the innocent and creepy.
No insult intended,
Bob
**Also, that dude in the photo is not my friend, nor do I believe it's the guy who responded to her ad. But I'm sure with moves like that, he wouldn't need the internet to get chicks.

I believe that Craigslist has become the internet version of Rio (and maybe Leo can back me up on this)...there are areas that are fine, clean, with honest individuals...then there are the shady, creepy side streets and alleys where godknowswhatcanhappentoyou...within blocks or posts of each other.
And, no, that guy does nothing for me...plus in juxtaposition with the excerpt from the nudist's info, it puts way too many weird images in my head...
must go erase...
He he. Downward Facing Pig. He probably also enjoys the Reverse Cowgirl and possibly The Doggy.
That could... maybe be... not creepy? I don't know. Maybe. I feel kind of bad wanting to dismiss that guy right off the bat for just not wanting to wear clothes (because honestly, I'd rather not wear pants most days either, and I don't mean it in any sexual kind of way).
I wonder what nekkid guy's version of a tripod is.....hmm.
The dude in the photo is Simon Borg-Olivier.
