Missed Connections on Craigslist

One of my recent vices is to read Missed Connections on Craigslist just cause I'm curious who tries to appeal to other people they've never met through a Craigslist ad. If you've never read these things, usually one is titled something like: "You were the hot bag guy at Safeway who smiled as I threw up on you cause I was drunk--w4m--23". That sort of thing.

First off, I used to get kind of depressed cause there are no hot women stating: "Want to meet the hot guy who orders breakfast every day at Carls Jr". Okay, I can live with that. But then as you read more and more of these ads, you start to notice a pattern, and you begin to wonder, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH WOMEN IN THIS CITY? I mean, I'm reading stuff like "Hot unemployed guy missing front teeth...you smiled at me as I was released at the police department--w4m--27". Others are like: "Even though you abused me and put me in hospital, I want you back--w4m--23". Then they go to the absurd: "Hot asian girl eating a bagel at Bagel Stop--Call me cause I think I love you."

Okay, I need sleep. Really.
