Here's one about Richard Gere's odd interactions with women (not that one):
Richard Gere used to test his compatibility with potential girlfriends - by showing them photos of body parts and severed heads. The star reveals he used to collect Joel Peter Witkin's bizarre photographs, which he hung all over his apartment.
He says, "It clearly was a litmus test about the women who came into my apartment - how they related to this work. If they didn't like it or they threw up, or whatever, they definitely were not going to be someone in my life."
Because demanding that partners have similar tastes in art as you is what true love is all about. How Zen!

It's not working. I’m pro-fake celebrity ties, but this is really scraping the bottom of the barrel. Not even Richard Gere’s illegitimate son, just a nephew?
Not only is it not working, but if you actually were "kinda a big deal" someone may have heard of you, even once ever. Really, if you were in any way "kinda a big deal," you would probably not be trawling for girls on Craigslist.
Although you look like Richard Gere, I’d like to think that Richard makes sure that all of his relatives, especially those who are “a big deal,” know that one usually leaves a space after a period before starting the next sentence, or the difference between there/their/thier (that last one isn’t a word).
I’m not one to judge though; I know it’s hard to always keep track of spelling and punctuation when writing passionately. Sometimes creative grammar is the only way to get your message across (hey, I write my own rules as I go along, so leave me alone), but taking just a few more seconds to run your post through a spell check would maybe send ladies the message that you care.
I have faith that you can work this Gere angle to your advantage, whether or not it’s true (I will continue to assume that it’s not). Next time suggest acting out a whore-gone-right Pretty Woman role play. It’s a lot more becoming than “I'm lonely.I want someone the same.”
With luck, you soon won’t be so painfully pathetic.
Lose the shoulder pads,
