[[Image:Personalprofile.jpg|thumb|Chris's profile image, or, what [[Pokemon|Ash Ketchum]] would look like if he had grown up to be a [[obesity|fat]], [[Chris and health|acne-ridden]], and [[homos|deeply closeted]] [[Chris|manchild]].]]
 
'''''The Hook''''' '''Cafe''' was the online personal-ad unit of [[Charlottesville]]'s former local alternative weekly paper, ''[[Wikipedia:The Hook (newspaper)|The Hook]]''. Some time in early [[2010]], Chris posted a personal ad at the Cafe under the blunt nickname "direct2[[sex]]," declaring that he "Need Sexy Sweets from Woman." A 90-day pass to the site cost [[Chris and money|$40]], which meant that Chris had to use his [[monthly tugboat]] to put the ad up.
 
The ad was one of the most blatant confirmations that Chris was no longer interested merely in "true love," but was also pursuing the side quest of getting laid. This was not totally unexpected, as many of his followers had always believed that true honest love was merely a ruse to get some [[china]], and that if Chris could get to the [[hanky-panky]] without having to actually care about someone, he would do so in a heartbeat.
 
Of note are the differences between this and his previous [[dating profiles]]. By this time, Chris had apparently been making an attempt at being a grown-up, and as a result he neglected to mention ''[[Sonichu]]'', his [[autism]], or the fact he was a 28-year-old [[virgin with rage]]. He also has started to specify a desire for women at least 21 (as opposed to 18) years old (but not older than himself, despite his pretty obvious desire for a mother-like mate).
 
This was not the first time Chris has posted a personal ad on ''The Hook'' Café. An earlier attempt, in which Chris had promoted himself as a "Handsome Virgin searching for Woman," had fallen victim to hackers around early 2009. Unfortunately, most of its original contents weren't preserved. It's the hacked version that's referred to in Chris's [[IRC (20 January 2009)|20 January 2009 IRC chat]].


The local alternative weekly paper in [[Charlottesville]] is ''The Hook'', and its online personal-ads site is called '''The Hook Cafe'''. Some time in early [[2010]], Chris posted a personal ad at the Cafe under the nickname "[[Chris and sex|direct2sex]]," declaring that he "Need [[China|Sexy Sweets]] from Woman." As far as anyone can tell, no sexy sweets have been forthcoming.
Chris was able to solicit the attentions of a young lady named [[Jackie]] on this site. Thus began an on-and-off-again relationship lasting until at least [[February 2012]].


The ad is one of the most blatant confirmations that Chris is no longer interested in "true love" and is now simply looking to get laid.  This is not totally unexpected, as most of his followers have always believed that true honest love was merely a ruse to get sex, and that if Chris could get to the the [[hanky-panky]] without having to actually care about someone, he would do so in a [[heartsweet|heartbeat]]. Before the discovery of this profile, the clearest evidence of this was [[Mailbag 53#So much for true love|one of Chris's mailbag responses]].
On 9 [[April 2010]], the moderators on the site deleted Chris's profile, possibly due to a flood of fake profiles set up by [[trolls]]. Several troll profiles were also deleted. With the death of this profile, Chris apparently shifted his efforts back to [[OkCupid]] as his go-to for soliciting sex via the internet.


It's interesting to note differences between this and his previous dating profiles. Chris is apparently making an attempt at being a grown up, and as a result he neglects to mention [[Sonichu]], his [[autism]] or the fact he's a twenty eight year old [[virgin with rage|virgin]].
On 27 [[December 2011]], ''The Hook'' announced that it was shutting down Café for good at the end of the year. The magazine itself went under on 26 [[September 2013]] and was replaced with ''[[C-Ville]] Weekly''.

The following is all the information included in the ad as of 5 April 2010. All misspellings or unusual capitalizations are from the original page. The peculiar entry under "Religion" (which lists his affiliation as both "Methodist" and "None") is probably the result of an error Chris made when filling out the form that produced his profile.

Chris's profile image, or, what Ash Ketchum would look like if he had grown up to be a fat, acne-ridden, and deeply closeted manchild.

The Hook Cafe was the online personal-ad unit of Charlottesville's former local alternative weekly paper, The Hook. Some time in early 2010, Chris posted a personal ad at the Cafe under the blunt nickname "direct2sex," declaring that he "Need Sexy Sweets from Woman." A 90-day pass to the site cost $40, which meant that Chris had to use his monthly tugboat to put the ad up.

The ad was one of the most blatant confirmations that Chris was no longer interested merely in "true love," but was also pursuing the side quest of getting laid. This was not totally unexpected, as many of his followers had always believed that true honest love was merely a ruse to get some china, and that if Chris could get to the hanky-panky without having to actually care about someone, he would do so in a heartbeat.

Of note are the differences between this and his previous dating profiles. By this time, Chris had apparently been making an attempt at being a grown-up, and as a result he neglected to mention Sonichu, his autism, or the fact he was a 28-year-old virgin with rage. He also has started to specify a desire for women at least 21 (as opposed to 18) years old (but not older than himself, despite his pretty obvious desire for a mother-like mate).

This was not the first time Chris has posted a personal ad on The Hook Café. An earlier attempt, in which Chris had promoted himself as a "Handsome Virgin searching for Woman," had fallen victim to hackers around early 2009. Unfortunately, most of its original contents weren't preserved. It's the hacked version that's referred to in Chris's 20 January 2009 IRC chat.

Chris was able to solicit the attentions of a young lady named Jackie on this site. Thus began an on-and-off-again relationship lasting until at least February 2012.

A screenshot of the ad, as of 5 April 2010.

The following consists of all the information included in the ad. All misspellings and unusual capitalizations are from the original page.
