Today, I put up an ad on Craig's List to find a best friend. I don't know what's more pathetic: looking for a best friend online, or the ad being removed almost instantly. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I was so desperate for a friend that I posted a Craigslist ad to find one. Now my phone's filled with spam and I still don't have any friends. FML
Today, I tried to find myself a friend on Craigslist. FML
Today, my friend posted my picture on Craigslist under the "men seeking men" section. I got 16 replies with 2 hours. He then decided to post another picture of me under "men seeking women" to compare results. The only reply I got was from a man. FML
Today, my friend put my phone number on Craigslist. I still can't find the ad, but obviously everyone else can because I still haven't stopped receiving naked pictures. FML
Today, I found an ad for my job at my company on an online job board. FML
Today, I put out a public ad for a dancing buddy. No pictures, just a brief description of what I was looking for. A guy answered and we started chatting. The more he revealed, the more familiar he sounded. Yep! That's him! My stalker from 10 years ago. Guess I have to move. FML
Today, my online ad was deleted for being in the wrong category. I'm looking for a good home for two old horses, so I'd put the ad in the category “Horses”. Maybe I should try again under “Lawn Mowers”? FML
Today, I made a Craigslist ad looking for hot and horny women that wanted some. I only got one reply, from another guy asking me if this kind of thing actually works. FML
Today, I declared I was done with online dating after several disasters. My friend set me up with a friend of her husband's. Turns out he's one of the men who rejected me on the website. He laughed when he saw me and said, "Well, this is awkward" and left. FML
Today, I was looking at dating profiles with my single friend, trying to find a guy for her, and we found my husband's profile. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Looking for a best friend online isn't necessarily pathetic, but it is if you're looking for one on Craigslist. YDI.

What a coincidence, I put up my friendship for sale on Craigslist (mint condition!) and the ad was also removed instantly. You know what that means... WE'RE MEANT TO BE BESTIES!

You don't just "look" for a best friend. You make friends, and you develop a relationship with them (whether it be intimate or not) You can't just go online looking for a best friend, it all starts with regular friendship. Also, as many others have stated, Craigslist is not the best place to make friends, or even relationships/sex due to the amount of murderers and rapists/pedophiles out there. I would suggest going out, and having fun, and in the process make friends. You'll have lots. I promise :)

You would have found a serial killer on craig's list rather than a friend.

Looking for a best friend anywhere is stupid.. You don't look for someone to call your best friend you make a friend and make the best friend judgement after spending a lot of time together..

Maybe OP is shy and finds it hard to find friends. I'm shy, and oftentimes I find that even when I work up my courage to talk to people, they've already written me off as "uninteresting" or "a snob" because they can see that I'm quiet.
