The Craigslist w4w Crisis
We all know this: the w4w ads on Craigslist suck. Both the Missed Connections suck, and the Women Seeking Women, suck. Is it because lesbians are hopelessly earnest, irredeemably dorky, and terrible at spelling? Perhaps. Is it because we don't know an attractive picture from an unnatractive picture? Is it because we don't understand how these ads are supposed to fucking work? Ladies, I know we can do better. For the next week I challenge All DC-Area Lesbians to place a regular or Missed Connection ad on Craigslist that does not suck. One that you yourself could imagine responding to. Do it. And report back.
Is it because we inadvertently bait necrophiliacs?

I gave up reading them two months ago, right when I wrote this:

I feel like Craigslist has lost even its entertainment value lately because the posts are just so badly spelled and inane.
That picture is super creepy. I just don't understand why people don't know how to post attractive pictures of themselves online.
great, now i'm addicted to the CG missed connections page...thanks alot, TNG!
it seems as though you're being drastically insensitive to the complexity of approaching another woman at a bar, gym, etc - with the exact intention of asking: "wanna pretend im dead and fuck"
come on, don't we all appreciate the obscene honesty in these ads?
