Looking For Dude Friends?

Apparently there is a new trend on craiglist - dudes perusing for dude friends.

Cough-gay-cough-cough. Okay, just letting my latent homophobia out there for a moment. Not that there's anything wrong with it. But seriously? I'm against searching for friends on the internet just as much as I'm against searching for love on the internet. It just seems weird, if you ask me.
