A New York Craigslist ad is going viral for offering $10k to anyone who can help the poster find a wife. The man, in his 30s, says he needs “a Cyrano de Bergerac” because of the poster’s self-admitted “low motor for messaging.”

The offer is $200 for every date gotten, $2k if a relationship becomes exclusive, and $10k if they get married. Online skeptics have been quick to point out that, in the story of Cyrano, the woman fell in love with “the guy saying all the nice words, not the handsome face.”
