ok, here's what happens when you respond to personals on craigslist:

1. peep out http://houston.craigslist.org/w4m/, which is the women seeking men section. half of the ads are entitled "find a lady in your neighborhood to have sex with today". i know some of my neighbors so i skip these.

2. find a normal ad to respond to, preferably one with a picture. i responded to one where the gal is normal, down to earth, works a lot and too busy to meet people. she's a sports fan and looks pretty cute in her picture. i figure what the hell and shoot her an email.

3. the next day i get an email back that says:

Hey there Henry. Nice for you to write me and you are pretty cute =P. I would love to get to know you but I'm headed to bed right now. We can chat tomorrow when I'm at work. I won't be able to chat via email though because my work blocks Google & Yahoo. I'm on SinglesNet though. It's like MySpace, except a site for people interested in dating. You can signup there, it's free and it doesn't require any credit card information so don't worry about that. My screen name on there is JennyRainbow, so search for me =P I'll be on all day, helps me kill time at work haha. Well, I hope to hear from ya, need someone to keep me company lol. Take care ~ Jenny

4. it's free so i register on singlesnet. i click a couple of my interests but don't submit paragraphs describing myself or who i'm looking for nor do i submit a photo. wouldn't you know it, no jennyrainbow on the site.

5. two days later i get a "flirt" from a singlesnet member. it's like a "wink" on match.com, basically a member showing interest. let's see what jjjacqueline is all about...

i am: warm hearted, generous, a networking and well planned social butterfly, witty, stubborn at times, very talkative, competitive, gainfully employed, not in need of larger suitcases for my baggage, not on medication, am always on time and i always do what i say that i will. i am a huge college football fan. gimme a cold beer and an longhorns game and i will yell at the TV with you i will sing karaoke (not always well) but just for fun. i will make you laugh when you need some cheering up. and i always take my friends very seriously. Cheers and happy dating!

of course you can "flirt" back for free but you've got to become a paying member to email her. pretty elaborate scheme to get members to their site, don't you think? just email someone some titties and they'll pull out their credit card? now where the hell did i leave my wallet...
