Men and women handle romance very differently. A fine example of the difference between the sexes is in the Maine 'Missed Connections' section of Craig's List.

Missed Connections is where people post anonymously trying to find someone that caught their eye out in public but were too shy to say hello, in hopes of reconnecting with them to pursue romance.

I browsed through some of the recent Maine Missed Connection postings to find some real gems. Let's compare the women's postings to the men's shall we?

 

I've run into you twice now at TJ's, where you work. You first helped me pick out beer, and secondly commented on my choice in coffee. You have dark hair and glasses, and seem really sweet. We seem to have a Pisces connection and I'd love to be friends :)

 

Never before have I seen such a sensual, glowing human being. You are a beautiful woman that I wish I knew more. You are the praline bacon piled on my golden chicken. You are the fried egg atop my blackened fish. There's just something in the way you bag my macaroons. Or pour my beer.

 

She points out the astrological connection, he compares her to an egg. Classy dude.

 

Something so compelling about you. . . left stifling the smile on my face.
I would have asked your name but cat had my tongue.
Maybe our paths will cross again.

 

ypur a older woman, youbwere.wearing.yoga pant, im a young guy, i find.you really attractive. if.you happen to go.on.here and.see.this, email me.. your.gorgous, you have a amazing.body, send a pic and and.put.south.st.in.subject line.

One of those things is not like the other.

 

we were leaving at the same time. it seemed like you noticed me, though maybe you're just extra-polite.

you got into a pickup truck. I was wearing a long black winter coat.

 

To the bartender with the amazing ass. All I can say is thank you! You're the reason i sit at the bar. You make it hard for me to leave. Wow!

 

Wow. I hope he at least left a nice tip.

To be fair, not all Missed Connections posts by women are like the ones above.

 

You are a total D.I.L.F. You drop off your boy every morning. Every morning I walk past you and you say "good morning." And you did a great job playing the ghost during the story at the school Halloween party. Obviously we're both married with kids, but in a different time, I would so do things to and with you. ;)

 

Is that different time next Wednesday? That's the first time I've seen the term DILF used.

Missed Connections is some of the best entertainment on the web. We'll have to highlight more of these soon, but kick it up a notch. Stay tuned!
