When we see the ever-so-suave debonair gentleman in that old classic movie walk up to that hourglass misses he has had his eyes on for the past hour and blow her away with a smooth, well rehearsed pickup line, it often gives us, the generation of the 21st century, the wrong impression.

Casual Encounters. Men seeking Women. Women seeking Women. These are just a few of craigslist's personal ads. I would give a rough estimate that 70% of the posts are simply people trying to cover up a request for a one-night-stand. Another 20% of the posts are mainly society's rejects, mom's with 8 kids, 3 ex boyfriends, on welfare who lives in a trailer, or even your "lurking within the depths of that ever so charming yet witty post" serial killer. Then finally, a pitiful, yet most likely statistically correct, a pathetic 10% are true, honest cries for their dream come true, life long partner to respond.
