    I've seen him as he puts up his posters. He always tries to hide his face. I say he is up to SOMETHING.

    I've seen him put up the flyer then pull off one of the tabs to make it appear as if there was interest

    Should this guy be on some kind of 'no fly' list?

    I'm asking for a friend. Thanks.

    What happened to the last 10 girlfriends? Commitment issues? Hygiene problems? Witness protection program? Enquiring minds want to know.

    I saw him yesterday, putting up flyer right outside tompkins square park, with another guy filiming him - which made me think this whole thing might turn up as documentary or reality show?
