Controversy Over Rhee Now to Include Sex, Congress
Intern season is in full swing in Washington, and one local blogger has taken notice of just how many gross older dudes are hoping to hook up with them. The concept behind m4intern is simple: posting entire Craigslist ads, with links, that are expressly designed to lure young women in D.C. interning for the summer out for dates and sex. It's not like you can't find these on your own, but when someone is taking the time to compile all the best ones, certainly you can make room in your RSS reader.
Some highlights:
From Meridian Braddock Pool - m4w - 30 (NoVA)

and i would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!
So, where's dcist's ad? Allow me:
"WANTED - MANWHORE TO SPOIL! ISO HAWT male intern, washboard abs, complete obedience, into copyediting, Jager shots, noncommital sex, verbal and other types of abuse. See, I'm one of those DC powerbrokers you don't hear about. Let me enhance your DC experience with some of the bitchiest thread posters this side of Jezebel. I have an awesome row house full of all the bells, rape whistles, ropes, straps, etc! Luv it!"
Okay, I understand the "m" in "m4intern" stands for male, but what does the "4" indicate? Number of intact limbs? Inches?
i'm so glad dupont west end is concerned about his potential new cat's, er, princess's ability to swim, fitness level, and feeding. and he's gotten a waiver on the requirement to spell "love" with four letters. sweet. how can any intern resist?
doesn't this website seem like it needs a closure page? these guys are just begging interns to go out with them armed with a camera phone and out them via an "after the date" page.
@HCE; 4="for"
actually, i think 4 is also the minimum number of interns required for chocolate pudding orgy.
they sound dreamy :)
I love the idea of a closure page. But who would be brave enough to go out an hunt the hunters? And would she come back from that terrible place without needing therapy?
I love the classic "no time for a girlfriend" line.
"Gee, I would really prefer a loving, committed relationship, but I'm just sooooo busy. I guess (sigh) I'll have to settle for an endless stream of no-strings-attached sex with naive younger women. But that's totally not my first choice!"
btw, DCist. please never, never, EVER get rid of these American Apparel ads.
my spank bank runneth over.
mmmm....orgy pudding
A true Southerner would insist on an aluminum tub of banana pudding, complete with instant pudding, fresh bananas, and Nilla Wafers. And the two bending-over ladies from the American Apparel banner ad.
Because when I think DC, I think "Bend over."
Aw, yeah.
lol craigslist is buckets of fun.
@monkey Instant pudding?!?!? Bite your tongue. No suthun woman worth her salt uses instant.
Just when you thought people couldnt get creepier....or have this big of a self-inflated ego. The dude thinks he is a real power broker at 30? For who and what? The mailroom? Real power people are over 60 and know how to be discreet. This has to be the douchiest thing since LNS and popped collars.
See, this is what happens when you have a high concentration of gradschool grads and Ph.Ds. They put ads online instead of cruise for whores and loiter in massage parlors the way the Good Lord intended. Now, when are they turning Olsson's into a full-service brothel?
And I'm sorry, but there's no shame in using instant banana pudding. It's just like using Rotel and Velveeta in your cheese dip. That's just how Ma Monkey made it and that's the way it's gotta be.
Mmmmm....Velveeta and Rotel orgy.
thank you for the new website idea!
It's Just An Orgy: Dating for Nubile Interns
That's is disgusting!
This is a total double-standard. People have no problem with the hoards of nympho cougars that take over Sequoia, Bar Rouge, and Rumors to take advantage of innocent male interns looking for free drinks, but let some sad sack GS-7 who shares a basement efficiency crave some physical contact and he gets cut to ribbons. Shame on you, dcist!
What have you got to lose? ...
It rhymes with banal splurge-inity. And who doesn't love to splurge now and again?
Seriously though. The ads above are just poor. Craft a m4interns ad that brings in more than just spam and I might be impressed.
you know, i think a closure page is the wrong concept. really, is there closure, or do we care about it in this situation? nah. maybe a hilarious payback page? rob lowe honorary page? there's got to be a snappy term that's not coming to mind.
Are there woman looking for men, etc? How diverse are these things
Are there woman looking for men?
Yeah, nothing says sexy like a 20-year-old boy with a bad haircut, cheap khakis, and an inflated sense of self-importance. Mrow.
