Reddit user Fluff_hopeful02 shared a woman’s Craigslist request for a wedding date for her mother-in-law.
She needed a man so much that she was willing to pay $1,000 for the right man.
In the afterShe explained that they had to be available from Friday evening to Saturday evening for her wedding weekend.
The Reddit user joked that the caption read, “Karen needs a date.”
The writer of the ad said the mother-in-law “requires constant attention and supervision.”
Additionally, she added that she will “probably write little dramas and try to escalate.”
This is exactly where the rental date becomes completely important.
“Your job is simply to distract and de-escalate the situation,” she wrote.
All the lucky date has to do is “flatter her for two days” and they can “easily make $1,000.”
CHARACTER QUALITIES
She also listed some qualities that this special man had to have.
The ideal age for a potential suitor is ’40 to 60 years old’, because she is a ‘slim’ and ‘attractive’ woman of 51 years old.
Moreover, he must not only be a ‘de-escalator’, but also a good conversationalist.
He must also be able to perform a dance step and hold his own on the dance floor.
He must wear a suit and be willing to give her “undivided attention.”
“Experience with narcissists is a plus,” she added.
In an equally cruel insult, she said the date should pretend to be a guest who wanted to sit and dance with her mother-in-law.
POSSIBLE BENEFITS
In addition to the $1,000 payout, the plus-one will also be reimbursed for their own hotel room, food and travel expenses.
To cover all aspects, she said she would provide background information and talking points.
All interested parties were encouraged to send a photo of themselves and a short summary explaining their interests and qualifications.
The poster stated that she would conduct background checks on potential candidates “for safety.”
REAL REACTIONS
Other Redditors had mixed opinions on the situation.
“That’s actually quite smart. I would take this job,” wrote one person.
“Oh my God… I may have found my calling, please let this be real,” another commented.
“I would literally be the ideal candidate for this if I wasn’t too young lol. Spending time with older narcissists is easy,” one Reddit user added.
“If you literally say four words in a row, in Brazil you will immediately be interrupted for that one time.”
Some were not so willing to commit to the task.
“I’m not sure that’s going to be $1,000,” one man said.
“If you do a good job, you risk being stalked quite a bit in the near future,” added another Redditor.
