Im hoping it's not real, for the sake of mankind:
"I have a lot of grocery shopping to do, and the last time I went there I felt uncomfortable pushing the cart around because women are supposed to push the grocery cart. So, being a bachelor, I’m trying to stack everything in my arms ,and it isn’t working very well. I’m dropping things and grunting through the store, hauling way too many groceries by hand. It was awful, and I had to come back two days later to do it all over again.
I’m looking for an attractive lady to push my cart in the grocery store while I shop. You must be attractive because people will think you are my wife or girlfriend if you are pushing my grocery cart. And while I do enjoy being a bachelor and dating freely, if you are really good at pushing my cart I’d be glad to keep you around for a while, and possibly even sleep with you or take you out for burgers. So please, no one older than 25 and no larger women.
As compensation for your time, I might buy you a few loaves of bread or something from your grocery list.
Please reply with a pic so I can see if you are good looking enough to play the part of wifey while I shop. Also, I’m white so unless you are white or maybe some kind of Asian, it wouldn’t look right for you to be pushing my cart around for me. People would talk if I were with a darker girl. Also, I usually date women with a bigger bust, so unless you have a really pretty face and a really petite figure, you should probably have a decent bust size. And no kids please. I wouldn’t want anyone thinking they were mine. Plus, I just don’t date women with kids for obvious reasons."

Oh dear. I emailed the guy and he asked if I was interested. Looks like it's a real ad. The internet has sunk to a new low.
-
I don't know if it's fake or not, but If this ad showed up in the NYC Craig's List, it would be immediately flagged and removed for racism. We don't put up with that kind of crap here!-
"Are you interested?"
There's a guy who needs a lot of psychiatric help. Along with having poor self-esteem.
EDIT: It gets better:
"You must shop slow"
"Baby, I'll shop so slow, you'll think I was Meryl Streep on Heroin"

It's probably another lulz attempt. There was a similar one a few months back - the author and I trolled each other for a bit. It was fun.-
I remember that. You should get in on this one. He's starting to bore me already, to be honest.
-
Why, have you been trolling him?
-
Yeah, for a few replies. He stopped writing though..I'm beginning to think he's 100% serious. Hasn't he ever heard of a shopping basket?
-
No indication of a lulz? Oh man! That's bad LOL!
-
You're a lot better at dealing with these people then I am. Email him, see what he says..You could always use a few extra loaves of bread, right?
-
I don't know if I have it in me today
-
Yeah, I didn't feel like putting much effort into it either. I wanted to string him along, get photos and send him on a wild goose chase. Today just isn't my day though.
Still though, free bread is free bread..Think about it

This guy is a true Jack@$$! -
It looks like a bit of a social experiment post to me-- and yes, very similar to that one where Anok exchanged emails with the guy a few months back.
People get strange jollies by trying to promote controversy on things like Craigslist. I hope it's just a bunch of psych students working on their masters' theses, but I doubt it.-
I'm still 50/50 on this one. In his posting, he used words like "Wifey" and he's following the formula of not hanging around single mothers. The obvious problem with his posting is why he doesn't just use a shopping cart.
And, I emailed him calling him a loser..And he asked if I was interested.
Either he's on drugs or he's just really out there. I really wish someone could find out if he's serious or not. -
Maybe tomorrow River

Why would this be fake?-
There is a group out there on the internet who do things "for the Lulz"
They're trolls who essentially set up elaborate or simple internet troll bait and see how long they can ride it out, making observations along the way, and often blogging about it. -
I'm still inconclusive. After I emailed him back saying "Ill be so slow, you'll think I was meryl streep on heroin", he stopped emailing me. If he was in it for the lulz, he would've replied back and kept the game up.
However, the way he worded the ad made him sound like a troll. -
Hahahahahahahaha Meryl Streep on heroin LMAO :D
Sometimes if they know you're just in it for the Lulz too they'll stop responding. Which is no fun. -
You could be right about that. Im leaning more towards the fact that he was trolling then.
-
-
Further proof that there are a lot of weirdos out there! -
LOL becuase all Asians are as light as white people, this HAS to be a joke. -
Lololol. Where do I sign up?
