NCalGal's Journal: Social experiment CL posting woman for man

After that weekend I needed something to take my mind off of the IMs and emails from depressed in Virginia. I took an interesting aerial shot of me last week w/ out my face showing. Yesterday I decided to post a CL personal posting for woman seeking man. It has been rumored that woman posting get hundreds of hits. This I confirmed. Of the 300 emails I received these past 30 hours. 70% are inappropriate, out of age range (too young/old), not my type. 30% were possibilities. This seemed like a pretty high percentage. Very surprizing. I will keep you posted on the further stats on the next round of communication. So far very funny range of responses. -- http://www.craigslist.org/eby/w4m/133695611.html

nice picture btw :)

you wanna know the reason why things have become this way though? when men and women divorce, the women get the kids, and many loose any taste for being with men. so the reason why a single woman looking for a 'man' gets such a high volume of respondants is because as a guy we have to compete with all those divorcees to find a woman, and most woman are content once they have their kids.. pretty depressing. this current system is little better than when the 'rich and powerful' men marr

Man, way to take someone else's journal entry and turn it into your own soapbox.

i was just rambling on.. if i were going to soap box about it i could have tried a lot harder ;)

And even in rambling on and on i couldn't quite decide if it was the fault of the men for not trying hard enough to be better people, or the fault of women for dumping men off once they had babies to fill the needs of that maternal instinct. society decided that women should have 'equal' rights. right now the rights aren't 'equal' when a couple divorces, it's obvious who gets the kids, and thus the child support

And there you go again. You turn a lighthearted journal about a posting in Craigslist into your own forum for ranting about society, the marital system, etc. Loser.

Depending on the results, I may be running a different ad come a few weeks from now. And yes, maybe a different kind of guy responds to this than another ad. More research and learnings to be had. And if anyone is wondering, this is real and not only for social science (just having fun w/ that). It's ultimately for my heart.

I'm intrigued. And fit the bill. And available.

[Engineer-Poet]

And I even live in Oakland.

Oakland County, that is.

Michigan.

(Why do all the gals I like live so bleeding far away from me?)

But if you like your Thai food hot enough to strip paint, I'd love to hang out next time I road-trip through your neck of the woods.

Nice cleavage

[ryanr]

You're local, too (I live in El Cerrito, work in Emeryville.)

I'm in the right age range as well.

If I weren't married, I'd stalk you. ;)

Re:Nice cleavage

[Kymermosst]

I'll second the nice cleavage sentiment.

But, I'm three years too young, not local, and not a stalker even if I wasn't married. :)

Dude, You Have Some Whacked Out Dreams

[Real World Stuff]

I'm just sayin'...

Re:Dude, You Have Some Whacked Out Dreams

[ryanr]

Reading my old journals? Yes... yes I do. I'm working on a cold, I might get some more soon.

Not surprised...

[benjamindees]

Even with the warning, I'm not surprised a pic like that elicited quite a few responses from outside your age range.

That picture doesn't say "I'm looking for someone my age". It says you're looking for someone my age. And, knowing other males my age, pictures speak louder than words.
