Based on the theory that every fall activity is done better in pairs — apple picking, watching football, coordinating Halloween costumes — two women posted a joke ad on [Craigslist](http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/rnr/4657463141.html) about their search for ‘fall boyfriends.’ Because what better way to find the perfect guy whose sweater you can steal in the chilly weather? The two women [told BuzzFeed](http://www.buzzfeed.com/keelyflaherty/two-girls-are-advertising-for-fall-boyfriends-on-craigslist?bftw=main#32gqnjs) that the post is indeed a parody, “unless \[they\] find love, and then it’s for real.”

Good luck, ladies! Here’s the entire ad:
