Craigslist Files #27: Platonic Ideals

The philosopher Plato was an interesting thinker with some good ideas. Unfortunately, his name has gotten dragged into some pretty ugly territory thanks to opportunistic creeps and a small horde of undergraduate philosophy students who promptly shove their heads into the Socratic Caves of their own recta at age 18 and never, ever come out again. The Platonic concept of mentoring, which he explicitly states is spiritual in nature, has been twisted into a pedantic excuse for pederasty and the otherwise intriguing thought experiment of his Forms has led a cavalcade of mouth-breathers to posit the existence magical super-trees and the perfect, ideal chair. In modern parlance, "Platonic Friendship" is basically a synonym for "No Sex", which is blunt enough approximation of the concept, I suppose. Because it finds a way to somehow further ruin things that are already disasters, the Internet has taken that once-lofty idea and made it into a craigslist board. Here's what you'll find there.

Desperately in need of a cuddle buddy (university) W4M

I have the house to myself tonight and would love to find a cuddle buddy who wants to come share it with me. I am also really in the mood to give the absolute best full body massage ever, so if that sounds appealing, please reply back! I am not looking for anything too crazy, just somebody who wants a companion to sleep next to or enjoy a movie with. Let me know if you're interested...I like to think that I am definitely worth it...let's talk more and you can judge that one.

Yea, sayeth the Almighty, "Wherever there is craigslist, so shall there be fake posts for porn spam". This points to a general problem in the Strictly Platonic section. A portion of the population there thinks they're clever and will somehow trick the "No Sex" people into having sex with them, so posts like this one will probably wrangle a few idiots. Or, ya know, there actually is a college girl who wants to give a stranger a full body massage.
