Harvard Law School Student Needs a Date

But please, only apply if you go to Wellesley College.
Spotted on Craigslist earlier tonight: A “reasonably handsome and witty” third year HLS student is looking for “an attractive-to-exquisite, intelligent, and fun Wellesley woman” for a Barrister’s Ball this Saturday.
His reason for not having a date yet is that he’s been “too busy trying to get people out of jail, publishing articles, partying really hard, etc. — about what you’d expect.” Oh, that’s why! Sure.
He specifically requests Wellesley College students because he thinks that “y’all are just adorable on your cute little campus off in the middle of nowhere with no men.” Is that the new euphemism for “I might have a fetish for some jungle girl-on-girl action”?
His other requirement: “You need to be either politically conservative, able to tolerate political conservatism, or generally open to humorous but friendly political repartee at your expense. Many of my friends think Joe McCarthy was a wimp.”
From The Voice to the Boy: Perhaps you’re looking for someone similar to this particular Wellesley alumnae. Or, you know, simply hop on that green Peter Pan bus and get transported to the “middle of nowhere” itself and pick your girl. We hear that bus has an interesting, and telling, nickname.

While we feel indignant for fellow Harvard ladies (first the Hoochies, then this, now Wellesley?), at least it wasn’t a repeat of this.
The guy is clearly a prick, but that’s no reason for you to trash Wellesley girls. If you Harvard girls weren’t so jealous and petty, maybe you’d actually get some action. ;)
Err I don’t think the writer was trashing Wellesley at all. Though that comment of yours about Harvard girls being petty is a little petty
“Or, you know, simply hop on that green Peter Pan bus and get transported to the “middle of nowhere” itself and pick your girl. We hear that bus has an interesting, and telling, nickname.”
^I agree with Ari. Don’t hate on us.
That was intended to be a tongue in cheek “advice” for said HLS boy to find the girl of his dream, if a Wellesley girl is what he’s looking for. Seems more proactive than a Craigslist posting.
As for the bus’s nickname, it does exist, doesn’t it?
It was definitely not my intention to hate on Wellesley. Some of my best friends go there.
M.N.
Hey Ari, if girls like you weren’t so petty, maybe people would have more respect for Wellesley. No need to turn this into a catfight just because of some troll’s Craigslist ad.
*Just to clarify, I’m not saying all Wellesley girls are petty like you– in fact I know several who are quite nice– and I’m not saying that the negative image that many have of Wellesley is justified, but comments like yours certainly don’t help to improve that image.
Ari and sophia, you girls need to chill out. Still don’t see how those quotes were trashing wellesley at all. This article is as tame as it gets. And please, everybody knows what the bus is called. Not saying that it’s true, but still.
Well, the nickname for that bus is included on the Wikipedia page.
