Busy finance guy on St. Mark's Place looking again for an 18-27-year-old female roomie to walk around in her undies

Last April, we posted about the young man with a deal for a hottie roommate on St. Mark's Place:

$130 Unique offer for a unique woman (East Village)

Many of you who read this ad are going to find it very offensive. Please understand that while this offer might not work for you, there are people out there in this world that have different levels of comfort with certain ideas that might be offensive to the majority of the population.

I got this idea from an article in Time Out New York that I read a while ago. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment that I inherited and now own. I live alone in the East Village, and have an empty bedroom and a lot of space. I am offering the empty room w/private bathroom for only $130 a month. Here is the catch...of course there is a catch. I'm a white late 20's guy that works in finance. I work A LOT and therefore my social life has become nonexistent. So, I want to add a little bit of excitement to my life. I would like to rent the room to a woman between the age of 18-27.

You should be a free spirited, liberal minded person who is very open minded. I would like you to be a slim attractive girl who is OK with occasionally walking around or hanging out in her underwear <---yes...that would be the slightly crazy part.

Dunno how well that worked out. Apparently our man is looking for a new roomie, same conditions — except now you have to pay MORE to walk around in your underwear for him. Rent is up to $300 a month. (Via Curbed)

Reply To This Post

Hi. I'm an unattached, overworked attorney and have no time for dating, which is why I'm looking for a smart, sexy sugar baby girl, 18 to 25 years old of White, Asian, or Latina descent, for a casual, long-term mutually beneficial relationship or arrangement. I prefer curvy to voluptuous with a small waist and nice, big round bubble butt. If you're in college or grad school, in need of a weekly allowance to help with bills and the like, then contact me now. Maybe you're also in need of a worldly, well-read mentor, benefactor, and gentleman. Pics for pics, I must insist.

Beautiful summer night....I am in my home, alone. I have been alone for sometime, and did not mind it at all, for some time. But I seriously miss laying with a special her, smelling her scent and kissing her so passionately everytime, that we both have soaking wet pants in minutes. Smelling her hair....rubbing my finger tips all over her back side.....

Those nights were great and should be replicated tonight. I can not sleep cause I have dreams about it and wake up dissappointed I didn't say something before. So I am saying something, reply! I am 29 from manhattan can host. Not a weirdo at all, just a nice busy guy. I am half latin and half european and look white. Baby faced, short light brown hair, dreamy light brown eyes, 5"9 with an athletic build. 150lbs.

I have picture and will not go to sleep till about 4:30. I'll have to use a sleeping pill to replace my "sleeping pill" (hint: YOU).

It's 3:00 am on a Sunday morning. I am pretty sober. i have some wine and 420. And a nice bed i can not enjoy without you. I am a perfect gentleman, and maybe this can lead to much more. i am just in a rush tonight. I have pictures, so should you. This not about sex (it could be if its right). This is about sensual kissing and not being alone when the sunrises till tomorrow evening! It's Sunday, lets worship each other, stranger.

boy that asked about world hunger/saving the environment + i was rude - w4m - 22 (Union Square)

Date: 2009-07-28, 5:23PM EDT

you were standing on 14th between 5th and 6th i believe, on the south side of the street asking people to donate to a cause. i can only assume this, as when you approached me i turned to you, noting your flushed face and sweaty brow, and replied with 'i have time, i just don't want to stop.' afterwards, i felt like more of an asshole than i have in my entire life. i sit here at union square typing this from a non-qwerty-keypad-phone. i know you have a tiresome and often unrewarding job, and i honestly didn't mean to be so abrasive. i have a quirky sense off humor that is typically off putting and difficult to understand because normally things i find humorous aren't funny at all. regardless, i hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. if you'd like, i'd like to buy you a cold beverage of your choice next time you are out in the heat saving the world. if anyone may know this young man, i ask that you please pass this on to him.

Good-looking people (we assume) wanted to show East Village apartments

A reader sends along this ad from Craigslist:

Property Management, in the East Village, seeks ENERGETIC, UPBEAT, FRIENDLY personality, to meet & greet our potential tenants. Must be honest, hardworking, & reliable. Will be responsible for advertising with brokers & on Craigslist, showing apartments, and helping us screen new tenants. When not out with tenants you will be assisting with day to day tasks around the office: answering phones, filing, dispatching maintenance crew, etc. Real Estate experience a plus!!! Please respond with resume in the body of your email & recent photo. Resume's with Photo's will be given priority. Full-time, Part-time, & Students Welcome!!!!

Meanwhile, kind of related:
The Wall Street Journal has a piece today on a San Diego company that "aims to fill high-end empty houses with occupants who play the part of happy homeowners, in a bid to remove the price-depressing stigma of vacancy." The article features a woman who does this. She got the job via Craigslist. "When a real-estate agent phones, Ms. Clavin says, 'I live here' -- because technically, I do,' and provides a broker's number before the caller inquires further. She must keep the house spotless between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. She usually gets only five minutes to light the candles, flip on music and disappear before a showing. If she has more time, she'll bake cookies to scent the home." How much longer before we see such a company sprout up here?

"I would like you to be a slim attractive girl who is OK with occasionally walking around or hanging out in her underwear"

You should be a free spirited, liberal minded person who is very open minded. I would like you to be a slim attractive girl who is OK with occasionally walking around or hanging out in her underwear <---yes...that would be the slightly crazy part.

I would never ask you to strip or do anything at all. You must be someone who occasionally walks around like that and is ok with me being around when you do. I know this is a strange arrangement, but like I said earlier, I am trying to add some exitement to my life:) I am not looking for anything to develop into a relationship, or to have you start acting like a girlfriend. If you are interested, send me an email so I can discuss it further with you. There is no sexual contact or anything involved. I WOULD NEED THE ARRANGEMENT TO BE 100% CONFIDENTIAL. I know that it makes no sense to put my pic on here if I want it to be confidential, but I figured it was a necessary risk to take if I wanted solid responses. If you are interested please send me your pic. It does not have to be a provocative pic. But a body pic would help.

The apartment is huge-near St Marks. The kitchen is big...very bright living area. The room for rent is very big too AND HAS ITS OWN BATHROOM. I don't need the money which is why I am able to do this. The $130 is just a nice round number I came up with. PLEASE do NOT respond by saying "WHY WOULD A GUY AS GOOD LOOKING AS YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS". We all have our reasons.....Thanks

Today's time sucker: PadMapper

I was reading about PadMapper on LifeHacker...and started playing around with it for no good reason. (Oh, what's PadMapper? As Adam explained at LifeHacker: It "maps Craigslist's apartment listings on a Google Map for an at-a-glance look at available offerings.")

Anyway, I came across a "recession" discount sublet -- $125 for a room on Avenue A and 10th Street. Huh? Is that for a day? A week? I went to look at the actual listing on Craigslist...and it had been removed.

On new newly appointed New York state chief judge Jonathan Lippman: "Mr. Lippman's childhood friend Sheldon Silver, the speaker of the state Assembly, recounted his boyhood with Justice Lippman their families on Grand Street on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Mr. Silver recalled that he and Mr. Lippman were bar mitzvahed in the same synagogue and both worked as law secretaries in state Supreme Court early in their legal careers.

"He's now in New York's top judicial post and I am usually on the top pages of the New York Post," Mr. Silver, D-Manhattan, quipped.

When it came time for him to speak, Mr. Lippman looked at Mr. Silver and said, "Two kids from the Lower East Side -- not too shabby." (New York Law Journal)

East Village bathroom for rent (presented without any potty humor)

From Craigslist (via dustbury.com)

I am a female in my mid 60's and I am looking for a room mate. Times are tight and I need some extra money.
I am willing to rent out my bathroom in my 1 bedroom east village home.

My bathroom is large. You can easily put a twin air mattress in there. I only ask that when I need to use the bathroom, you or your air mattress are not in it.

I do ask that when you are in the apartment, you confine yourself to the bathroom. I do not feel comfortable with a stranger walking around my living room. This might change as I get to know you better.
You may have guest over as long as they are cnfined to the bathroom as well. This might seem a bit odd but please remember the rent is $400 and the bathroom is large.
