They were white, their looks pinpointed them as the "rich pretty boy" type, and even if they did not have those things going for them, they had money, a car and were willing to spend a great deal of money on those women. I have been looking in the LTR section for YEARS, in Missouri, Maryland and California for a LOOOONG time trying to find that special person, but I never found anyone who was willing to go for more than a one-or two-nighter. I mean, I DO live in a College Town and that could be part of it, but the kind of woman I am trying to meet (since I dont care about appearances, only a woman who has a warm, kind soul) just seems to be nonexistant, or too shy, cocky or indifferent to reply to my ads, or even my responses to THEIR ads. So yeah. Craigslist usually ends up being a bust, but there are VERY RARE times when it does bear fruit. It is much like fishing, but I am just not sure I have the desire to keep using up my bait on this particular pond...

It is much more interesting and less cruel than Jason Fortuny's so-called experiment. Don't men realize that most women don't feel safe answering ads on CL? Why don't they use venues like speed dating where the organizers are almost always begging for more men to participate? I have gone on so-called Singles events (Mountaineers or Sierra Club type) where there are 10 women to each man! I guess it is because they are driven by their testosterone to seek a quick solution to their problem! Who wrote the segment below and how can I read more of her? What is "Spreadsheet Boys: Adventures in Mid-life Dating"? Google turned up nothing. I have to admit I am guilty of doing a fake ad just for the attention and then deleting it after an hour or two. Although I have in the past met men from CL and had sex with them (just a couple of times), it's not a great way to do it and I'm not that horny to take risks like that. Even on the dating part of CL, men's photos have been misleading or not their actual photo. Picking up a man in a bar and taking him home is also risky but at least you know you are attracted to him! Carlita ---------------------------------- That tracks with what I learned in my research for Spreadsheet Boyz: Adventures in Mid-life Dating. Women do not respond to the men’s ads - the guys all told me this. It also track with the fact that IO make it clear I am NOT just trying to “get laid”, I am trying to meet someone to spend the rest of my life with, but 9 times outta ten they just want to get it on. The 20-40 year old average respondents tracks the same, too. hello,
